Reviving Florida's Oyster Industry

The Everglades Farm is bringing new life to Florida's oyster industry, with their oysters making it to the tables of Michelin-starred restaurants.

Despite initial reservations about eating oysters from a filter feeder in a swampy freshwater lake, people are excited about the taste. The bivalves, typically associated with cold waters, are being grown in the tropical Everglades.

“We have to focus on educating and combating this stigma or as we like to call it, prejudice,”

said Fabio Galarce, as he and Josh Wilkie harvest oysters for top restaurants. The duo is working to change perceptions, highlighting the beauty of the Everglades as a tropical paradise.

Their efforts are paying off, with the oysters gaining popularity in the restaurant scene in Miami.
