It's that time of the year again!

This event is for all returning oyster gardeners to pick up their spat for the 2026-2027 season. (If you are new to CBF's oyster gardening program, please check our new oyster gardener workshop schedule.)

The spat will be handed out in mesh bags and can be a bit slimy, so please remember to bring a bucket, bin, or a few trash bags to line your car with. Spat are not sensitive to growing location, so please feel free to choose the distribution location that works best for you. See our webpage for our full list of distribution locations.
