Our Commitment to Sustainability: Partnering with Full Measure Oyster Company for Chesapeake Bay Little Neck Clams
At AllFreshSeafood.com, we are passionate about bringing you the highest quality seafood while maintaining our commitment to environmental sustainability. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce our new partnership with Full Measure Oyster Company, a leader in sustainable aquaculture on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
About Full Measure Oyster Company
Full Measure Oyster Company is a seed-to-table farm powered by the sun, driven by the tides, and worked by dedicated men and women on Virginia's Eastern Shore. They are committed to providing the freshest and most delicious oysters and clams and are pioneers in sustainable aquaculture practices.
Carbon Neutral Production
Full Measure Oyster Company is the first and only oyster farm to implement a 100% carbon-neutral production plan. They rely on 124 solar panels to fully power their land-based operations, producing over 60,000 kilowatt hours of usable energy annually. This solar energy offsets the entire property’s electrical cost and even allows them to sell excess energy back to the local electric cooperative. Full Measure minimizes their environmental impact by harnessing solar power, ensuring their operations are as eco-friendly as possible.
Sustainable Practices
Full Measure Oyster Company’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond solar power. They are transitioning to an eco-friendly transport fleet, using clean idle eco-diesel trucks to deliver their products while minimizing their carbon footprint. Additionally, they utilize a 50 KWH propane generator for backup power, with plans to replace it with a battery system. This dedication to reducing their environmental impact aligns perfectly with our values at AllFreshSeafood.com.
