SHUCKED is part love letter, part memoir and part documentary about the world's most beloved bivalves. An in-depth look at the work that goes into getting oysters from farm to table, SHUCKED shows Erin's full-circle journey through the modern day oyster farming process and tells a dynamic story about the people who grow our food, and the cutting-edge community of weathered New England oyster farmers who are defying convention and looking ahead. The narrative also interweaves Erin's personal story--the tale of how a technology-obsessed workaholic learns to slow life down a little bit and starts to enjoy getting her hands dirty (and cold). This is a book for oyster lovers everywhere, but also a great read for locavores and foodies in general.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Shucked: Life on a New England Oyster Farm | Erin Byers Murray | Paperback | 9781250032003 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1617288","offer_id":48700618866840,"sku":"1617288","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71gOvWirUhL.jpg?v=1773771866","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/shucked-life-on-a-new-england-oyster-farm","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
