Oyster farmers raising awareness of industry with Oyster Fest
Oyster Week came to a close Saturday with Oyster Fest at Bernie's Beach Bar in Hampton. The event showcased music, drinks and all-you-can-eat oysters from six local farmers. The New Hampshire Shellfish Farmers Initiative organized the event. The group is made up of all 14 oyster farmers in the Seacoast. Organizers said they want people to know the environmental and economic benefits of oyster farming.
