Learn about the biology, culinary uses, and local industry surrounding the native seaweeds of Maine with an experienced harvester. Sample a variety of sea vegetable recipes, and learn about ways to incorporate this unique food group into your diet. We will discuss the distinguishing features of different species of seaweed, how they are harvested, and their ecological, economic, and culinary importance.
Micah Woodcock is the owner/operator of Atlantic Holdfast Seaweed Company, a small business working to sustainably hand-harvest sea vegetables in Penobscot Bay since 2010. Our harvesting operation is based on a remote island 7 miles off of Stonington, where the strong currents, active surf, and full exposure to the force of the open ocean have allowed these seaweeds to thrive for millennia.
Kitchen workshop will be followed by a soup supper with attendees.
