Oyster farming in Texas is a testament to the harmony between man and nature. With the Gulf’s rich water and moderate temperatures, growing oysters in Texas is as rewarding as it is unique. Ketcham Supply’s oyster cages and gear are specifically designed to accommodate the diverse habitats and tidal fluctuations of Washington’s waters, providing your oysters with the sanctuary they need to grow and thrive.
Our oyster cages and farming accessories are crafted to optimize growth and protect your harvest, accounting for Texas bays and estuaries’ varying salinity and temperatures. It’s not just about growing oysters; it’s about fostering an ecosystem where they can thrive.
Our floating gear is customizable to suit the diverse range of Texas waters, ensuring optimal water flow for oyster nourishment and growth.
Ketcham supplies are constructed with the highest-grade materials resistant to corrosion and build-up of marine growth, critical in the warm Gulf waters notorious for accelerated wear and tear.
We incorporate feedback from our clients and our own decades of experience into features like easy-access doors and adjustable buoyancy in our cages, catering to the unique tidal patterns and depth variations Texas farmers navigate daily.
Texas’s distinctive climate allows for a longer growing season compared to many other regions, providing a unique advantage to local oyster farmer. This, coupled with the state’s commitment to sustainable aquaculture, positions Texas at the forefront of meeting the nation’s growing demand for oysters.
