Southern Cross Sea Farms, Cedar Key

edible-default.jpg
Tiny Cedar Key on Florida’s Gulf coast is one of the largest producers of farm-raised clams in the country.

One of those farmers is Southern Cross Sea Farms. They spawn clams in their hatchery, send them to the nursery and finally to their submerged leases. Finally, clams are harvested, processed and shipped, a process that takes about two years from seed to plate. Like oysters, clams are filter feeders that improve the water where they’re growing. They also grow oysters.
