History of Alpha
Established in 1990 by Tom & Helen Dodd, who were some of the first pioneers of oyster growing on the West Coast of South Australia.
Alpha Oysters was founded in the renowned pristine waters of Smoky Bay where they are still being grown today.
Before the introduction of purpose built oyster punts, simple 'tinnies' were used to transport oysters around with the tides. The picture below shows the oysters being relocated to lease sites in Smoky Bay - 1993.
