Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Was Inspired by a Bowl of Miso Soup

Back in 1971, it was actually a bowl of soup that led to the founding of Maine Coast Sea Vegetables. Linette and Shep Erhart had made miso soup using some of the seaweeds gathered from the ocean outside their home, and were pleasantly surprised at the positive feedback they received from friends and family. This encouraged them to start harvesting and drying some of the nutritious sea vegetables and offer them up to others. In the beginning Shep and Linette were only able to gather about 200 pounds of sea vegetables since this was strictly a husband and wife operation (with some encouragement from their little one). Maine Coast Sea Vegetables has now grown to where 40 employees help to harvest and process about 100,000 pounds of sea vegetables every year. From the rugged coast of Maine to kitchens everywhere.
