Wild Ponies™ start as spat settled from the waters of the Newport River just west of Beaufort, North Carolina, and lovingly nurtured on a large intertidal sandbar we call The Lump.  The Lump is a special place where Wild Ponies™ grow as reef oysters before we free them to gently roll around in corrals among created intertidal oyster reefs.  Wild Ponies™ harness the spirit of the Spanish ponies roaming free on nearby Carrot and Shackleford Islands.  Wild Ponies™ channel the crisp, salty flavor of the Atlantic Ocean mixed with a wholesome sweet flavor imparted from the fresher waters of the upper Newport River that flow over The Lump on falling tides.
