Dr Andy Woolmer
Andy moved to Swansea 20 years ago to study marine biology at Swansea University where he gained a PhD. He became increasingly interested in oyster restoration through his work with the shellfish industry and conservation groups. Andy runs another sister farm in Pembrokeshire (Atlantic Edge Oysters) where he grows top quality rock oysters. He now combines his love of the sea with his passion for good food with his aim to produce beautiful fresh oysters.
