Rodrigue Eudé is one of them, hardly more than 25 years old, he decided to take over his father's oysters farm, a family tradition for 4 generations. Located in the Gulf of Morbihan in the town of Sarzeau (France) where the water quality is exceptional for the oysters farming methods and a natural paradisiacal surroundings.

It is a work craft living to the tides'rhythm and the oysters demand a lot of attention to obtain a delicious seafood. It is important to know that the oysters need several years before reaching maturity. Rodrigue Eudé was able to be persevering in the first years, without income, without harvesting and with sizeable investments to be conformed to the required french standards of his business.

Lonely man and devoted to his oysters, Rodrigue Eudé was able to take up the challenge, make living again the family tradition and follow a secular tradition in Brittany to delight our taste buds.
