Everglades Farm Revives Florida's Oyster Industry
The Everglades, a region not typically associated with oyster farming, is now home to a thriving industry. Despite initial reservations, the oysters are proving to be a hit in Michelin-starred restaurants.
“We have to focus on educating and combating this stigma or as we like to call it, prejudice,”
