Local & Sustainable Farming
Moreton Bay Sea Farms works hard to ensure the environment in which we work is kept healthy and clean. Catching the ever abundant wild spat native to our region both reduces carbon emissions and promotes the further growth and spawning of Native Rock Oysters.
Our oysters are naturally fed through the currents of the bay from the Pacific Ocean meaning there are no additives in our waters. Oysters are self-feeding maintaining their organic quality and native taste to our region.
Unlike other oyster farms, the logistics of getting oysters to and from our farm are minimal. Due to our Fresh is Best policy we service only the local region of Southeast Qld creating a boutique, niche, locally delicious product.
Oysters are also an integral part of the environment for Moreton Bay. Being master filter feeders they are an essential part of keeping the Bay waters clean. There are many projects along the Eastern coastline of Australia to rebuild the oyster reefs, providing not just clean filtered ocean waters, but safe and sustainable habitats for an abundant of sea life.
Oyster Shell is also collected and distributed into a variety of projects as per demand, some of which include land based projects, broken down for lime and calcium for feed or construction, artistic creations and oyster reef restoration projects.
