Our Story
I am a sea gardener growing kelp in the ocean. Like the plants in your backyard, kelp provides us with oxygen, absorbs carbon, and offers a home & habitat to a myriad of sea life. Kelp is also a healthy, sustainable food source, it can be processed for use in many products, used as a biofuel, as cattle feed, and to create bioplastics.
I grow sugar kelp, a native species to Rhode Island waters, because it is the right thing to do in a world filled with questionable choices. Partnering with a local oyster farm, I am not just growing kelp, I am helping to improve the health of our local waters and our planet. I know people want to help repair our damaged marine ecosystem and do what is right for their local environment, economy, and personal health. I offer our kelp as a solution, selling it to markets locally and regionally, and also offering sponsorships for individual and business to offset their carbon footprints. I know the value of experiential learning and education, so I offer ecotours of the farm, community harvest days, customized tasting events, and resources for kids and community to learn more about our local marine superhero: Kelp!
