Summary

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. We dive into the intricacies of oyster farming, the unique ecosystem of the Great Wicomico, and the passion that fuels his work. But the conversation takes an unexpected turn as we bond over our mutual curiosity about the unexplained—spirits, UFOs, and the mysteries that keep life intriguing. Get ready for an episode that's as briny as it is otherworldly. https://www.happyoystersva.com/home
