Dinner Discussion: Drakes Bay Oyster Company

Monday, December 16, 6:30-8:30pm
Tickets: $35 for members, $45 for the general public

Drakes Bay Oyster Company is a 80-year-old oyster farm at Point Reyes National Seashore. A third-generation ranching family, the Lunnys purchased this historic oyster farm to revive a part of our community and ensure the health of the estero. They provide local jobs and a sustainable food product that supports local businesses. Their stewardship of the oyster farm has resulted in award-winning oysters, and has protected the pristine waters of Drakes Estero and its abundant wildlife.

Recently, a federal appeals court upheld a decision to deny a preliminary injunction which would allow the National Park Service to evict the oyster farm before the merits are even heard in a court of law. The farm has requested a review of that decision by a full panel of the 9th Circuit.

Join 18 Reasons as we join the conversation and celebrate one of our favorite producers. This is a unique opportunity to share a table with the Lunnys, while enjoying a meal of their pristine, sustainability-farmed shellfish, on the half-shell and in a rich, warming stew. There will be good bread and great wine. And what is sure to be eminently interesting conversation.
