Managing a family farm together with Cameron and Lucas Ashley

It’s not always easy to go into business with your family. But Cameron and Lucas Ashley have found a way that works for them, in Port Stephens.

The brothers have grown up on their parent’s oyster farm, and now that it’s time to take the reins they’ve worked out distinct roles for themselves — Cam runs the show on the water, and Lucas works on the business, and in the shed.

In this episode of The Business of Fishing, we’ll head to Salamander Bay and pull in trays of seed oysters. Learn about using tech to manage inventory, planning for the future, and defining your role in the family business.
