How it does good
The world's food model still has a long way to go before nearing close to perfection, and Ocean's Balance stands behind seaweed as the superfood to help fix it. Not only is it a zero-input crop that needs no water, arable land or fertilizers to grow, seaweed is also one of the most nutritionally dense plants on the planet. Ocean's Balance set themeslves apart by sustainably growing and harvesting this sea veggie from the pristine waters of the Gulf of Maine, which yields a smaller carbon footprint and products you can trust.

Third Party Certifications
Ocean's Balance
Ocean's Balance has a serious love for Maine, and an equally big heart for the ocean. Committed to making seaweed #PartOfTheSolution to fix the world's broken food model, they only source the sea vegetable from farms using sustainable growing and harvesting practices. CEO Mitchell Lench co-founded the company because he recognized that seaweed was a long-term super food for people and the planet, and sticking with locally grown kelp in the cold waters of Maine was the way to do it.
