We pre-bag oysters by volume. Counts vary as oysters grow at different rates. The average you can expect is 300-400 oysters per bag. We recommended splitting these equally between 3 grow bags. Purchasing a few extra bags is a good idea to split into more bags as oysters grow bigger. WHERE DO I ORDER MY SEED? https://buy.taylorshellfishfarms.com/seed-gear/ CAN I COME PICK-UP FOR MY NEIGHBORS? When seed is purchased online, you can have your neighbor pick-up for you. They MUST have your confirmation order with them (printed or an electronic copy on cell phone). WHAT OYSTER SEED DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR A FIRST TIME GROWER? We would recommend you try a couple of different types of seed. Every beach has different results. Experiment, and find what works best on yours! HOW LONG WILL THE SEED HOLD OUT OF THE WATER? Plant geoduck seed the same day. Oyster, Mussel and Clam seed is ok for an additional day, but we recommend all purchased seed is planted no later than Sunday.
