About Us

5.0 (56 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: Winter Full and New Moon Seaweed Foraging

Guide: Jules M.

Jules and Melissa were very knowledgeable about all of the different types of seaweed and kelp in the bay, and were proactive in showing us the best types to eat and in telling us how to dry and use them in our food. They even brought water and snacks, including a really delicious seaweed broth and some of their products that they sell. This was a really great way to spend a couple of hours in the amazing tide pools!
