Kelp Seller Survey
-
Hi everyone,
I hope the long weekend ahead (for those in the US) is great for everyone. I am working to start a seaweed farm in San Diego with a group of awesome people. In doing so, I'm hoping to get a deeper insight into the industry as I am also researching a way for a software platform to help kelp growers and processors better sell their seaweed.
If you have ~3 minutes, please fill out this short survey! I'd be abundantly grateful. Or if you'd prefer to chat or get connected in any way, please email me at fbuncom4@gmail.com.
With love,
Frank Buncom IV

Hi Frank! It sounds like you're up to a lot of really exciting stuff. As you're doing your research, I'd encourage you to check out GreenWave's Seaweed Source, an app we released in November 2021 to help alleviate some of the challenges of seaweed market development. It has limited features at the moment, but we'll be releasing a new version in June -- just in time for folks to begin planning their sales/purchasing strategy for the 2024 harvest!
Feel free to shoot me or @grace_collery an email if you'd like to discuss Seaweed Source in more detail.
@frank_buncomiv Hi, Frank. It's great to hear about what you're up to in San Diego. Have you had an opportunity to look into the Port of San Diego's Blue Economy Incubator Program? It may be worth a look. The program helped jumpstart the work of Sunken Seaweed, among others.

Kendall, thank you for reaching out. I have a meeting with the folks at the Port of San Diego this upcoming week that I'm hoping is the foundation of a promising partnership! If you're up for it, I'd love to find a time to discuss polyculture farming best practices with you. I'll send an email.
