This Mussel farming neighborhood sends out every year nearly 
two and a half millions of dollars worth of its live product. 
From July to January is the season for Mussel eating, and 
then the people are busy enough. The farmers — if you can call 
them so — gather a boat load of Mussels and bring them home, 
when their wives take them and wash, and pack them in baskets 
and panniers, to go on the backs of pack horses or by carts to 
their market.
