Halperns’ Visits Prince Edward Island🚢
Adam Levine and Joey Gelsino recently traveled to Prince Edward Island with Jordan Stilley, Executive Chef of City Oyster, for an immersive look at PEI’s world-renowned shellfish industry. Hosted by Lisa and Bobby from Atlantic Aqua Farms, the group learned about oyster and mussel farming from seed to harvest and ultimately to the chef’s kitchen. They also went out on the water to see firsthand how mature oysters and mussels are harvested.
The trip provided valuable insight into the devastating impact of MSX disease on PEI oyster farms and the industry’s efforts to combat it, including the introduction of MSX-resistant seed from the U.S. The group also attended the PEI International Shellfish Festival, celebrating the region’s growers, producers, chefs, and exceptional seafood.
A special thank you to Lisa and Bobby for their incredible hospitality and for expressing their appreciation for the continued partnership between Atlantic Aqua Farms and Halperns’. The trip strengthened an already important relationship while giving our team valuable firsthand knowledge and an even greater appreciation for the people and work behind the products we sell.
