Since 2002
For nearly 25 years, we have specialised in edible seaweeds. We're leading a movement to a future where delicious seaweeds can be eaten every day.
We're guided by values we weave into everything we do: courage, respect, authenticity, fairness, and trust.
Ethical
Sustainably sourced
We're powered by the opportunity to nourish and restore people and our planet, with awe-inspiring seaweeds.
Our range is sustainably sourced, air-dried (minimal processing) so more nutritionally potent.
Pacific Harvest is now part of the Ceres Organics family, a natural home for our brand, united by a shared belief in nourishing people, restoring balance, and supporting the wellbeing of humankind and the planet we call home.
Our beliefs
Food is medicine
Yes, food sustains and delights us, but it can also prevent, reduce symptoms of and even reverse disease.
Seaweed is amongst the most nourishing foods we can eat.
Natural, wholefood always trumps (potentially chemically laden) pills and supplements. Add more minerals to your food by adding seaweed which contains a blend of everything we need for optimal health.
Ocean, land & human health are interconnected
This belief guides everything we do. Our purpose is clear - nourish people while restoring balance to the planet that sustains us.
We are committed to continuous improvement, in how we source, create and collaborate, knowing every choice matters.
Seaweed offers a simple way to tread more lightly. By choosing ocean-grown nourishment, we can reduce our “foodprint” and support healthier ecosystems, communities and futures.
Provenance
It matters where seaweed comes from. The ocean is central to life here in Aotearoa New Zealand, and we will source locally where we can.
However, whilst Pacific is in our name, we also offer a carefully curated range of seaweeds which have been sustainably harvested from clean, cool, nutrient-rich waters from around the world. This is because not all seaweeds we would like to eat grow, or are available, locally.
Building a Sustainable Business
Our purpose to nourish and restore people and planet naturally, drives all our decisions.

Our products pack a punch! They are good for you, and good for our planet. They also happen to offer a range of delicious umami flavours.
Ethical
We will always work with ethical harvesters who farm and or harvest seaweed respectfully and regeneratively.
Raw goodness
Wherever possible we will offer raw, traditionally air dried seaweeds. This drying process maximizes their nutritional value. We have a non-negotiable commitment to the quality of our ingredients.
Tested
Our products undergo rigorous testing to meet all relevant safety regulations. We benchmark our test results against acceptable levels in many countries and only offer food safe seaweeds.
Gluten Free
Seaweeds are naturally gluten-free, and we pack carefully to ensure they remain this way.
Local where possible
We proudly offer a range of edible seaweeds. We'll always source locally where we can be assured of quality.
Projects we are committed to
The seaweed industry in Aotearoa New Zealand is in it's infancy. We are committed to partnering to see our local communities flourish and thrive.
