We are beyond thrilled to share that we have been nominated for a BC Food & Beverage award!

The Liberty Distillery

Spud.ca 





“At Cascadia we are all about innovation and bringing forward an entirely new way of cultivating food with our ocean farms” says Desirée Dupuis, the VP of Sales and Marketing at Cascadia Seaweed. “By cultivating seaweed in the ocean, we are developing innovative solutions to help solve some of the biggest challenges humanity is facing today; climate change, economic instability and food security” she adds.





Ocean farming requires no freshwater, fertilizers, pesticides or arable land to grow. It utilizes nutrients from the sea, sequesters more carbon than land plants, creates habitat, is renewable and fast growing. In addition to being climate positive, seaweed has a diversity of uses and a long list of healthy nutrients.





“We believe that ocean farming is the future of food. We are pioneers in this new, innovative sector in British Columbia” says Dupuis.
