Seagreens® seaweed is wild harvested, sustainably, each summer among hundreds of islands in the remote Lofoten archipelago, a vast conservation area 50 miles off the Arctic Norwegian coast.

Only fresh, living wild plants are harvested, cleaned, air-dried and immediately cracked, milled, micronised or puréed to produce a range of convenient, digestible forms. Nothing is extracted or added. There is no root or floating seaweed, no sand or other extraneous material.

Seagreens® currently harvest three closely related species of wild Arctic wrack: Ascophyllum (whistle wrack), Fucus (spiral wrack), and Pelvetia (channel wrack). These distinct Arctic varieties are more nutrient dense than their more southerly counterparts such as for example, common European bladderwrack or Japanese Wakame (normally farmed not wild).

They are relatively shallow water seaweeds (the opposite of, for example, of deep water kelp or laminaria) and are affected by significantly different factors, including intensive photo-synthesis (24-hour sunshine during the summer months), natural ‘culling’ of old seaweeds (turbulent winter tides remove plants over 4 years old), and extreme cold during winter.

Seagreens® were the first Organic European producer and remain the only ‘ocean-to-table’ wild seaweed producer in the world approved to Demeter and Soil Association Standards (respectively the leading European Biodynamic / Organic Certification body and the leading British Organic Certification body).

They also supply other Biodynamic and Organic food and animal feed producers - including Artisan Bread in Kent, Bart Spices in Bristol, Camphill Communities in Scotland, Natural Choice canine biscuits in Devon, Neal’s Yard Remedies in Dorset, and Old Plaw Hatch Farm in West Sussex - who use Seagreens® pure natural ingredients in their products.

Seagreens® own branded consumer products are produced in a Class 8/9 Pharmaceutical Cleanroom in GMP manufacturing facilities. Some are also packed in a semi-commercial environment employing 90% adults with learning difficulties.
