Help Me Keep The Oyster Encyclopedia Alive

For the past 3 years, I’ve poured my heart into building OysterEncyclopedia.com — a free resource to educate, connect, and uplift the restaurant world and oyster farmers everywhere. But running this site comes with real costs, and I’ve been covering them out of pocket.

If you’ve found value here, please consider making a donation. Your support helps keep this project alive, independent, and growing — for the people and industry I care so deeply about.
