This is a dead business – don’t even think about it.
The Croxton cousins ignored that advice. They tell their story in the latest episode of “Strange Inheritance with Jamie Colby.” It premieres on FOX Business Network on Monday March 19 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern.
In 1899 James Croxton leased from the Commonwealth of Virginia two acres of oyster beds at the mouth of the Rappahannock River. When he died in 1961, he bequeathed a sweet business to his son Bill – Ryan’s and Travis’ grandfather.

I have has some of their oysters. They are not as salty as Tom's Cove oysters but they have really nice, almost sweet, taste. My congratulations to these guys!
Nice work, boys!
Yeah, way to go guys. Unfortunately my ancestors were slaves so I have to build it myself
So what you're saying is your ancestors had a 30+ year head start and you still have nothing. You should,be good though the govenment has given you plenty.
Its not our fault that your relatives or your own kind sold your ancestors. Get off your ass and create something for yourself!!
Well at least I could get two hicks too respond. First one doesn’t know it’s called government not govenment and the second one loves exclamation points.
Them rednecks think all slaves were black because they never paid attention in history class because "we don't need to know none of that stuff to raise chickens and soybeans".
It is a dead business until the water quality is addressed. Improve the water quality and you could take all the oysters you want. The government gets more money from chicken, farming and developer lobbyists than they do from watermen so we come last. The other problem is that MD regulators want to make rules without knowing anything about the Bay. They limit dredging to small areas and don't close them until they are completely barren. Meanwhile older oysters in banned areas died of disease. VA continuously rotate their oyster harvesting grounds with much better results.
