Oyster Farm & Tasting Tour

Whether you’re completely new to oysters or already obsessed, this is a chance to experience oyster aquaculture up close. Spend time on the waterfront with our farmers learning how oysters are grown, harvested, and handled from nursery to market, all while surrounded by the waters they come from.

We'll also show you how to shuck and how to eat the freshest oyster you've ever chewed (yes, chewed)!

Tours last approximately 2 hours.

Watch the video below to learn how Eros farm tours came to be and what you can expect during your visit.
