Depending on the species, the harvesting season runs from about mid-spring to mid-fall, with a few oportunites for some early or late kelp here and there. During this time, the Ocean Source team will collect the majority of our seaweed, and begin selling sometime around July each year. By November, we're usually sold out.
While most of our products use this summer kelp, we do maintain our relationship with the ocean throughout the winter. We'll often gather post-reproduction kelp during our trips out just to check on the patches, and this allows us to make small batches of product throughout the winter season. Check back often for surprise stock!
