In this fascinating episode of the Oyster Ninja Podcast, I sit down with Mike Manyak, owner of Sapidus Farms, nestled in the Great Wicomico near the Rappahannock River and Chesapeake Bay. Mike shares his journey from being a teacher to becoming a full-time oyster farmer, along with insights into running one of the only local oyster hatcheries in the area.

Get ready for an episode that’s as briny as it is otherworldly.
