Pleasure House Oysters
Confirmed against an official or primary source as of the date shown.
Tour names, group sizes, prices, booking phone number, operator name, and Lynnhaven River location directly confirmed via a live WebFetch of the farm's own tours page. No street address or year-round hours were published on that page, so operatingStatus is marked 'seasonal' (tour-booking-based) rather than 'open,' and no address field is set — see business-jsonld.ts for why that means this listing never gets a LocalBusiness schema.
A commercial oyster farm on the Lynnhaven River operated by waterman Chris Ludford, offering three paid, guided public tours (a Tasting Tour, a hands-on Waterman Tour, and a waders-in-the-river Chef's Table dining tour) that let visitors see how Lynnhaven oysters are actually farmed. This is genuinely public-facing aquaculture education, not a recreational-harvest opportunity — the farm sits on a private commercial lease, and a paid tour ticket does not grant any visitor the right to harvest there independently.
