About Us

4.9 (76 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. 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.

Our family had such a great trip with Jules and we learned so much about foraging seaweed. We got to try some delicious local seaweeds and learned how to respectfully forage in ways that are good for the coastal ecosystem and our bodies. Thank you Jules!

What an amazing opportunity for the whole family to learn about our coast and its bounty! Jules is so knowledgeable about all things ocean we learned so much. We were mind blown by the variety of seaweed and kelp that we found! Superfoods right there in our coastal waters! Would 100% suggest doing this solo or with friends and family! Great experience!

Really enjoyed this. Learned a lot without being overwhelmed. Jules is friendly and helpful.. And also ensured we respected the incoming tide. She made sure the little 4-year-old mermaid with us had fun but was safe at the same time.

Trip: Seaweed Workshop

Guide: Jules M.

This was such a wonderful seaweed workshop! The avocado toasts with our homemade seaweed seasoning mix were tasty and it was so fun to create and eat together while we learned about seaweed. Jules is a passionate expert about local ocean foraging and my husband and I learned a lot! We will definitely be signing up for a group foraging experience at the tide pools as well.

Really fun. We have lived in the area for 30 years and never realized the sea "vegies" we have been missing

Trip: Mother's Day Seaweed Workshop

Guide: Jules M.

Jules was an excellent captain on our journey of kelp education. Our day was both fun and informative as we made our own seasoning blend, customized bath salt blend, and touched and sampled seaweed. The highlight of the day was Jules herself. Her passion is infectious and it is backed up by knowledge, experience, tenacity, and passion for how kelp and our oceans can help the world, as long as , we learn to help and respect them in turn. We look forward to more to come from Kelpful.
