About

SeaGrown was established in 2018 in Scarborough.  The company operates an ocean farm at a licensed site 4 miles off the Yorkshire Coast, where it sustainably grows seaweed and also plans to cultivate shellfish in the future.  SeaGrown’s farmed seaweed will be used as a sustainable and nutritious food source, but can also be a key ingredient in a large number of industrial applications such as biodegradable plastics, biochemicals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, animal feeds and soil enhancers.

SeaGrown produces a range of seaweed-based food and bath products and also operates MV Southern Star, a ship based in Scarborough Harbour, where visitors are welcomed aboard to visit the shop and café, learn more about SeaGrown’s unique ocean farming operation, or simply to enjoy drinks whilst watching the sun go down from the best vantage point in town.  Southern Star is berthed on the seaward end of the Vincent Pier (the one with the lighthouse on the end) and is open to visitors daily, weather permitting.
