Episode XXII: New England Oysters

On this episode, host Anastasia is joined by Oliver Dixon of the Rhode Island based Matunuck Oyster Farm to talk about everything oysters! Oyster farming is basically a year-round process, but oyster consumption increases in the summer by 700% (a completely made up statistic). So there’s no better time to talk about it (also a completely made up statistic–it can and should be talked about during any month). Being from the state with the smallest coastline, we had little knowledge about oysters (other than that they taste yummy!). Anastasia and Oliver discuss how oysters develop, the environmental impacts of oyster farming, and favorite ways to prepare. No matter your oyster experience, there’s something new waiting for you in this episode. The Littleton Food Co-op is your one-stop summer essentials stop!
