Kelp chocolate! Have you tried these yet? Sea Salt & Kelp is a dark chocolate bar finished with Sea Salt and toasted kelp. Caramel kelp crunch is a milk chocolate bar with perfectly crunchy caramel bits and salty toasted kelp. This bar has converted more than a few “dark chocolate only” loyalists into proud milk chocolate fans. It’s rich and creamy, salty but not too sweet, with the most perfect crunch.

Want to taste spring in Alaska? Meet the Sitka Spruce tip. An unexpectedly good and quintessential experience of the Alaskan coast. If you’re visiting Alaska this summer you can’t leave without tasting.
Lengthening days signal the evergreen forest to shoot buds forth from each branch. These vividly bright green beacons mark the boundary of winter and spring.
The flavor of spruce tips is unique and perfectly showcased in our spruce tip jelly and shortbread cookies. We cold-press the delicate flavor for a bright, citrusy sensation of spring.

We’re coming up on 10 years of Barnacle, and when we first started, kelp farming in Alaska was more of an idea than a reality. Over the years, we’ve sourced from many kelp farms across the state (10+). Some have grown alongside us, others were part of earlier chapters, and through it all, we’ve believed that transparency, shared learning, and supporting one another is how this industry moves forward.
That’s what brought us to Cordova this week, where a dedicated group of farmers (and wonderful support organizations) just installed a large scale kelp dryer 🙌 Our team had the chance to work alongside the farmers to help them think through production flow, food safety, and getting the system up and running.
And just yesterday, the dehydrator ran for the first time! It’s a meaningful step forward, and a reminder of what’s possible when knowledge is shared and people show up for each other. We’re excited for what this means for the future of kelp in Alaska, and for the opportunity to work more Alaska-grown kelp into our kelp chili crisp, seasonings, and sprinkles 🎉

To us, food doesn’t come tastier than a one dish meal cooked over a fire in a big casty with sea breeze, snow capped mountains, and the first feeling of the spring sun after a winter that lasted way too long. Phew. We’re happy to be here 🌊🏔️🌶️
Happy Earth Day. Since day one, 10 years ago, we’ve been guided by a simple question: What if a business could succeed by doing good for the planet?
Every day, we’ve worked to turn that idea into action, supporting our environment, our people, and a better collective future. Thank you for being part of the journey and for supporting what we do from our little corner of the world in Southeast Alaska 🌎
