The Oyster Blog

The official Anderson's Neck blog with progress updates on our mission to Save the Bay One Oyster at a Time. We will notify you when we post new articles if you Join Our Mailing List.

Mike and I have been customers of Relay Foods for several months now. They’ve made it possible for us to gain back precious time for our Saturday enjoyment!

The concept is simple. You pick out your groceries online, pay on-line, and then Relay delivers to your door for a small fee. If delivery is not wanted or not in your budget, Relay has several convenient pick up locations scheduled throughout the week. It’s truly simple and something that I think will revolutionize the way we multitask, think about the environment, and gain extra time to do the things we really enjoy. No longer is time wasted walking up and down aisles at a grocery store.

Another benefit that Relay provides is the opportunity for its customers to try local food from regional businesses. In fact, this is their main concept and something that everyone should get behind. This means food to your table from a local purveyor within a region that’s several miles away instead of 3,000 miles away. Not only is your food going to be fresher, but the environment will be better for it. That means no trucks traveling thousands of miles just to put lettuce or “oysters” on your table.

Given its focus on local purveyors and creating a sustainable environment, it just made sense for Anderson’s Neck Oyster Company to become a part of the Relay Foods equation.

Ben Heemstra of Relay Foods had this to say about our oysters.  

“Perfect balance between salty and sweet. If a customer told me they had never tasted a fresh oyster, this is the one I would give them!”

We are very excited about this new partnership.  Anderson’s Neck oysters will be carried in all Relay markets. They will be offering our oysters by the dozen or in various packages to include shucking knives and gloves. And as a special offer for this Anderson’s Neck announcement, Relay Foods is giving new customers $10 off any order of $50 or more made at Relay Foods. Just enter the following coupon code at checkout on the Relay website to redeem your coupon: RELAYRVA.

Check out Relay Foods and get your Saturdays back!  You will be happier for doing so.
