The Harvesters of Cape Cod

Different reasons led me to this project. I saw the cross-hatches of an oyster farm interrupting an otherwise empty intertidal landscape, and realized I had no idea how an oyster was raised. I watched a lobster boat, so tiny in scale, steam parallel to the distant horizon, regal in its detachment and aloneness from where I stood and wished I were on deck. A meal of a simple salad of greens or pasta, cooked with fresh local ingredients, set before me delivered a visual and flavorful experience unheard of with grocery store fare.
            These harvesters share a love for Cape Cod, a personal standard for healthy food, and the joy at being out in nature while they work. They can’t imagine doing anything else.
