Our Story

In 2019, Angela and Brian moved to Tavernier, Florida. Not long after moving to the sunny Keys they soon figured out that their beautiful home was also home to native, wild hermit crabs. They believe that the close proximity to the ocean, combined with tons of natural land around their home, provides the perfect “hermie highway” for their crabby friends to stop by for a visit. Not only do they have hermit crabs hanging around, but there are also a myriad of land crabs and mango tree crabs too. Originally established in 1861, their neighborhood was once 143 acre farm managed by the Johnsons and their 6 children. The community that grew around them became known as Planter. This history gave inspiration for the name of the Sayre’s new home... Crustacean Plantation.
