Our love for oysters has been obvious for some time now but as we work with more partners in more areas we thought it fitting to bring everything together under one umbrella.
Raising Shell - Elevating oysters, their growers, and the connected industries and communities who benefit from them.
Last week we continued to support oysters and aquaculture by sponsoring and attending two events which brought together many past and current partners as well as future ones.
On Wednesday the JRF Crew hopped on the train to NYC to join the Oyster Master Guild at the inaugural Educator Summit. Over 100 attendees representing restauranteurs, shuckers, farmers, like minded non profits and general oyster lovers networked, learned, and discussed what it takes to further oysters and the industry. Raising Shell looks to embody what the Summit represented on a regular basis.
JRF also sponsored and attended the Rutgers Aquaculture Research Symposium & Growers Workshop on Friday in Cape May. Looking around the room at that event in particular and seeing a number of partners we've supported from Fishadelphia, Minorities in Aquaculture, Barnegat Oyster Collective and many more solidified our commitment and served a reminder of the great work we've done and what is to come.
