Working on the water amongst the Calendar Islands of Maine, we farm the ocean for kelp and mussels.

Welcome to Ocean Approved. We produce delicious foods from the sea, with minimal impact to the environment. We love the ocean and are committed to sustainable practices. We employ a combination of aquaculture and mariculture techniques year-round, and are excited to be moving from wild harvesting our kelp to cultivating it, the first company in Maine to begin this environmentally responsible practice. Our company name, Ocean Approved, comes from our philosophy of only farming in ways that the Ocean would approve. Once you taste our products, we know that you will approve if it’s Ocean Approved!

Our two new products, Kelp Salad Cut and Kelp Noodles are nutritious and simple to prepare. Unique to the market, our products are frozen fresh, not dried, and are 100% natural, with no dyes or preservatives added.

We invite you to try our products from the cold, clean waters of Maine.
