Uncle Ron has a suggestion for next year's Oyster Cloister

While Uncle Ron is very happy with this year's invited oysters he read an article in the Halifax Chronicle Herald and said HEY GET THOSE FOR NEXT YEAR.....

Oyster farmers make first million

After moving home to years of planning and preparation, Trevor and Michelle Munroe have turned his Eastern Shore dream into a reality
TREVOR MUNROE is obviously quite a smooth talker, having persuaded his wife to move from Halifax to “10 min-utes past Sheet Harbour" so they could start an oyster farm.
“I did not want to live down there, and I didn’t know anything about oysters," Michelle Munroe said.
“But we learned a lot."............ to see the article click here....

N.S. sparkle, rich Italian

From Nov. 10th Chronicle Herald's Sean Wood's Column features:

 Benjamin Bridge's Champagne style libation.... 

Donald Craig played key role in N.S. winemaking

From Chronicle Herald:
Donald Craig, who passed away peacefully on Oct. 1, 2011, was renowned nationally and internationally for his berry and ornamental research as a scientist at the Kentville agricultural research station.
Less well understood was the pivotal role he played in the foundation of the Nova Scotia wine industry.

Uncle Ron’s Oyster Cloister Orders

The phone lines have carried Uncle Ron’s wishes and the little jems are being raised out of the Maritime’s water as we type…. The tongs are prodding around the shallows, the boats are bringing in the cages… they are being graded and packed and oh boy some quahaugs and bay scallops too….

Here is where they are from:

Lonnie Langille’ lease on bend where Lazy Bay becomes Wallace Harbour… Not only oyster’s but quahaugs as well.
