Our Bull Kelp Whips or Stipe come from multiple coves and beaches in Northern Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. Foraging is dependent on the abundance, cleanliness of environment, and health of the kelp. We source kelp that is healthy and recently washed ashore. We do not dive for live kelp or disturb any sealife habits when gathering.
