Sip and Shuck at the Farm

Sip + Shuck with Saugatuck Oyster Company and Tuck Gin at Wakeman Town Farm

Sat. Aug 30, 6-8 p.m. $85 pp. Class size limited for best experience

We closing out summer with a unique Sip + Shuck experience on the Farm, featuring two amazing local vendors, Saugatuck Oyster Company and Tuck Gin.

In this hands-on adult workshop, Saugatuck Oyster Company’s proprietor, Hunter Peterson, will teach participants the safe and proper technique for shucking oysters, with the opportunity to enjoy the oysters they open. Guests will also gain a deeper understanding of oyster anatomy, and learn about the history of Oyster farming in southwestern CT. Oysters will be provided sourced from nearby Copps Island Oysters in Norwalk.

To round out the experience, Tuck Gin will be mixing up libations, so that each attendee will enjoy two summery gin cocktails to accompany the oyster tasting, from a selection of Gin and Fever-Tree Tonics, garnished with fresh WTF herbs and a Tom Collins (made with fresh lemon sour), garnished with just-picked Rosemary from the Farm’s gardens.
