I have been eating so much seaweed lately. The other day Liina and I got together and made spring rolls stuffed with sea palm and arugula from my garden, and wakame salad. Liina has recently begun a food blog, and I have been preparing for a demo at a local grocery. So it was perfect [...]

I am in Maine getting ready to seaweed harvest. I am gearing up to harvest both in Maine and in Mendocino California this season. Lately, I’ve got greens on the mind. Food is such a significant part of my lifestyle. I know I have written about our green houses and garden here in Maine before [...]

I have so many little bags of seaweed here ready to be sold to people throughout the country that want to do something really practical and delicious for themselves and their bodies. I read this headline today “Radiation from Japan rained on Berkeley during recent storms at levels that exceeded drinking water standards by 181 [...]

I am back on the East coast! Oh my! Of course just as I was starting to LOVE California, make new friends, sweethearts, job opportunities, I go and buy a plane ticket. I have a decent amount of seaweed to sell from last season and I want to do so before the next harvest season. [...]
