About Big Island Aquaculture:
Big Island Aquaculture is an oyster farm located in Hayes, Virginia overlooking Munday's Creek, the York River, and Mobjack Bay. As part of Big Island’s commitment to support the Chesapeake Bay, all of their oysters are sustainably grown from their farm to your table. Oysters themselves play a key role in combating climate change by filtering water, reducing carbon dioxide levels, and removing excess nitrogen from the water.
