Shore Gregory is one of those people who never has to work a day in his life. That’s because he loves what he does and when you visit the Island Creek Oyster Farm you will see what drives their passion for what they do, not work at all. Then on top of that years ago the Oyster Farm Team decides to have a party to celebrate their success and relationships with local Chefs. What starts out as a small gathering takes on a life of its own and now thousands attend the Island Creek Oyster Festival. Go figure, phenomenal Oysters, Celebrity Chefs cooking great food, Music, and Beer…..I could see how this could catch on….yeah think! So what does the team do with their new-found venture that brings in a couple of dollars? Buy a new boat, open another restaurant, get some new bling? No, they say “How can we give back?” and start the Island Creek Oysters Foundation, an organization that teaches Aquaculture in regions of the world that don’t have the resources to do it for themselves. I had the opportunity to speak with Shore and learn more about everything Island Creek.
SEE YOU AT THE FESTIVAL!!!!!!
