I am so looking forward to this event, May 22nd, @whistlebuoybrewing! We have collaborated since their early days with their well-loved Undersea Gose that contains my locally wild-harvested bull kelp. Come spend an evening at their taproom in Marke
Over the years I have had many mother-daughter duos attend my seaweed classes. It is a special way to spend time together and a gift that can become a treasured memory. Seaweed, like moms, help protect and nourish people and the planet:) I would love
