BootStrapping Happy Oysters - Washington Post 2020"

“Some oyster farmers are using established channels, such as UPS, while others are bootstrapping delivery. Chef Rob Rubba placed an oyster order with Sapidus Farms farmer Mike Manyak and found out that the contactless house drop promised was just “him in his truck.”

Here at Sapidus Farms, Angelina and Mike have been bootstrapping for years. Our Happy Hatchery, nursery system, and cages have all been built by hand. The market that has sustained us has been built on a foundation of honesty, excellent customer service, a delicious oyster, and good will.
