Kelp

Our wild kelp is hand-harvested from the pristine waters around Haida Gwaii, BC between the months of February and November. Depending on the species, our kelp is harvested by combing the intertidal zone, or snorkeling and freediving. We offer Giant Kelp, Kombu, Wakame, and Dulce varietals.

pricing

We buy directly from our fishers, which allows us to offer our members competitive prices while paying our fishers fair wages. The prices for 2024 are shown here. Prices can fluctuate each year, and higher price ranges reflect the inclusion of shipping costs for locations outside of Metro Vancouver.

product price
Dulse, Kombu and Giant Kelp mini flakes $10-11 per 40g tin
Kombu and Wakame flakes $9-11 per 35g bag

  • Dafne Romero

    Dafne’s approach to kelp harvesting is well-researched and thoughtful. She harvests her product by hand and chooses to collect less than 10% of kelp beds in order to leave a healthy and sustainable marine canopy. After harvest, the product is gently dried to maintain the most nutrients.
