About Us

5.0 (53 reviews)
We’re a small worker owned cooperative run by women who began with a dream of farming seaweed. We say “This is What Climate Resilience Tastes Like” because seaweed embodies the qualities of a climate resilient resource- it is abundant, renewable, fast growing, and needs no fresh water or fertilizer to grow. Seaweed also sequesters carbon and nitrogen, improving the marine ecosystems where it grows! Collectively, our team has spent decades harvesting and using seaweed in our daily lives. This curriculum has taken years to develop which places high priority on the mindful, responsible harvesting methods that we use. We want everyone to enjoy and immerse themselves in seaweed and become stewards of these extremely special places. That is why we are donating 10% of our experience sales to coastal conservation. We put the ocean first in everything we do. It is with great honor, privilege and gratitude that we offer the experiences we do in order to grow our mindful seaweed foraging community.

Trip: Seaweed Foraging Adventure

Guide: Jules M.

We had a great tour with Julie, she was super friendly, knowledgeable and personal. We brought our 1 year old and 5 year old and she was so sweet and accommodating to the kiddos. We had a great time harvesting, taste testing and even finding local wildlife like octopus, starfish, crabs and more! Definitely a fun family memory, we finished off the tour sipping warm seaweed broth!

Perfectly perfect! Melissa was very knowledgeable and informative about all things kelp. The weather couldn’t have been better. Came home inspired and ready to start cooking with kelp.

Jack was an excellent guide. Super passionate about all things kelp and sustainability. I learned so much and feel more confident about foraging seaweed on my own next time.
