1. What materials are your oyster crates made from?
Our oyster crates are handcrafted from locally harvested cedar. Cedar is naturally durable and resistant to rot, making it a strong and environmentally responsible alternative to plastic.

​

2. How do cedar oyster crates benefit the environment compared to plastic?
Cedar is a natural, biodegradable material that does not persist in the environment the way plastic does. Unlike plastic gear, which can break down and remain in marine ecosystems for decades, cedar returns naturally to the environment at the end of its life.

​

3. What sizes of oyster crates do you offer?
We currently offer oyster crates in three sizes: 12 inches, 18 inches, and 24 inches. These sizes allow farmers to choose the best option for their specific growing methods and site conditions.

​

4. How should I maintain and clean the cedar oyster crates?
Maintenance is simple. Rinse the crates with clean water to remove debris or biofouling as needed, and allow them to dry between uses. Cedar’s natural resistance to decay reduces the need for harsh chemical cleaners.

​

5. Do cedar crates affect the taste or quality of the oysters?
No. Cedar crates do not affect the taste or quality of the oysters. The wood does not interfere with oyster growth or development and has no impact on flavor.

​

6. Are the crates customizable to specific farming needs?
Yes. We work directly with oyster farmers to accommodate specific needs, including size adjustments or design modifications when possible.
