Hold Fast Oyster Co.
About Hold Fast Oyster Co.
Hold Fast is the farm of Matt and Kim Schwab, who both grew up on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Matt, a marine mechanic with a biology degree, runs the farm; Kim handles marketing and sales. They have two sites: the Sandbar farm near the mouth of the New River, where Southern Salts grow, and Stones Bay, home of the Seabirdie oyster sold only to Seabird restaurant in Wilmington. The farm runs tours from Sneads Ferry to a floating oyster bar.
