THE FARMERS
Jordi St. John
Jordi's strong desire to spend most of his time on the ocean stems from his childhood. He spent his summers between Phippsburg, ME and Mystic CT, and his first jobs included teaching sailing lessons and launch tending at Sebasco Harbor Resort. At times working on the water has been his main source of income, whether it was delivering boats or captaining windjammers under his 100 ton license. Since he started an "indoor desk job" he has been searching for a way to return to the water to pursue this passion. Oyster farming has been fulfilling this need, and he has thrown his heart into it.
