the Grower
Nolan D'Eon moved to Ste Anne du Ruisseau more that 25 years ago to raise his family. He built his home on the shores of Eel Lake and as he watched the lake he had a dream to one day make a living out of the bountiful waters. He watched oysters progress over the years and it was some time later that he finally decided to act on his “dream.”
Eel Lake Oyster Farm has been in operation since 1996 and has become more successful each year. Nolan feels confident that he will be able to produce oysters in Eel Lake for many years to come. Recently, he introduced floating bag technology which has reduced labour costs and this venture has proven phenomenal for growth and appearance
