The shellfish farming industry not only provides healthy and delicious food for customers, but is also environmentally sustainable. The shellfish we grow filters the water, keeping it clean. We are also advocates for clean water, since we need clean water to grow our product.  In addition to all of this, we work closely with the community, hosting fund raising events that benefit clean water awareness programs.

My sister was hired as the Education and Outreach Coordinator about one year before I was.  I was still in school at Western Washington University getting my degree through Huxley College of the Environment in Environmental Education. I graduated a year later and my sister's work load started piling up.  There was just too much work for her to do.  Taylor Shellfish headquarters is located in Shelton, WA.  There is a farm and retail store about 3 hours north in Samish Bay, where I work.  In order for her to do one tour up north, it required 6 hours of driving.  She suggested to the owner of the company that someone else should take over the Samish site so she could focus on education down south.  One thing led to another, and I had a job...right out of college! I was very excited to be working, and for such an awesome company.  I grew up with the Taylor's, graduating high school with one of the owner's daughters, so having that connection made it that much better.
