Seaweed
Sustainably Harvested Sonoma Coast Seaweeds
Seaweeds are an incredible nutrition source on the Sonoma Coast. An abundance of deliciously edible varieties flourish in the icy-waters of this rough and ragged coastline. Collections occur early in the mornings on May and June low tides. The bags of collected algae are then dried on screens in the sun.
Heidi is available to give lectures/talks about seaweeds within the San Francisco Bay Area.
