Barnacle Foods

We are lifelong Alaskans and have a deep appreciation for the rich bounty provided by our extensive coastline. We highlight locally grown, harvested, and foraged ingredients and it is our priority to make the least impact on the environment around us. Our products have nothing to hide—no scary ingredients, no hidden additives—just pure goodness. Plentiful in Alaska’s pristine and icy waters, bull kelp or Nereocystis luetkeana, is one of the most common seaweeds along our vast coastline. The abundance of kelp in Alaska makes it an excellent source for food. It is salty, savory, and packed with vitamins and minerals; a delicious and nutritious ingredient. Today, the majority of our kelp is wild harvested by the Barnacle team and we work closely with the ocean farmers who are just beginning to cultivate kelp. As we grow Barnacle, we are building a framework so that harvesters and kelp farmers can expand, too.
