Peconic Pearls are premium oysters grown by members of the Noank Aquaculture Cooperative in Southold Bay, NY.  They are also the oyster that gives back.  Five cents from every oyster sold goes back to research and education projects that benefit the health of the Peconic Estuary.  

FARMER: Melanie Douglass grew up working on the water with her family’s business Douglass Marine.  She continued her education at SUNY Maritime College earning an undergraduate degree in meteorology and oceanography with a minor in environmental science.  After a five year stint as a fish farmer, she has found her home with the Peconic Pearls and an awesome crew consisting of Karen Rivara, Martin Byrnes, and Katie Marino.
