About Us

4.9 (70 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.

What a great experience! Very informative and fun. A little pricey for the group size , but none the less a great educational experience and just amazing the bounty the sea has to offer if maintained. I would highly recommend for fun or to get started on the seahrvesting experience.

Melissa is a fantastic seaweed foraging guide. I now feel knowledgeable and empowered enough to forage on my own. Many thanks to Melissa and Kelpful!

Loved the trip! My goal was to work on getting re-familiarized with the Central Coast's marine ecosystem after living in Hawaii for years and determine and identify the best edible seaweed. I thought Melissa was pitch perfect.

Thanks Melissa for such a great introduction to seaweed foraging! The knowledge and enthusiasm was so appreciated. It's so great to have an opportunity to go out with a person who can answer questions and make recommendations when bringing a new resource into the kitchen, and I feel empowered to go out and continue building a relationship with the intertidal zone. Thanks again!
