Grow With the Flow: The Patience Behind Charleston Oysters
Episode 10
Monday, 12 January, 2026
In this episode of Retire Southern, James Lewis travels to the Lowcountry to explore what it really takes to grow oysters the right way. Recorded on the water at Charleston Oyster Farm, this conversation dives into mariculture, stewardship, and the patience required to work in rhythm with tides, weather, and nature itself. You will hear how oyster farming works from seed to harvest, why Charleston oysters reflect the place they are grown, and what it means to build a sustainable operation from the ground up. From navigating years of permitting to delivering oysters to local restaurants just hours after harvest, this episode offers a rare look behind the scenes of a working waterfront. A thoughtful conversation about place, responsibility, and why sometimes the best path forward is learning to grow with the flow. Charleston Oyster Farm Website Book a Tour
