Rare and Exotic

Just in time for the holidays, some spare cash can be found in pockets. For a farmer, this pocket might be from a winter coat laid down years ago. He’d left a few twenties in the breast pocket — it felt like the lotto when he found them later. Anyway, the temperature dropped last week, and another farmer remembered another coat, seen thrown in the corner.

They occupy a tiny sliver of unused, unimproved land, where they quietly raise oysters that they farm in our waters, which help to clean nitrogen and pollutants that help to keep the water clean for our children. The oysters act naturally, without consuming resources; plus, when mature, they are sold or donated to the community. The nominal ... by Staff Writer
