This event is an amazing opportunity for you to create awareness, introduce or just re-affirm your business’ community connection. If you are looking to connect with “salt of the earth” people, then this is your festival. It is only through the support and generosity of our community that we are able to produce Oyster & South festival each year and give back so much to great charities! See you on the farm!
