About HoldFast NL
HoldFast NL is a Newfoundland and Labrador–based seaweed company focused on cultivating subarctic kelp and producing liquid seaweed extract for agricultural and research use.
We operate a kelp farm in coastal Newfoundland waters and process our biomass locally, with a focus on quality, traceability, and responsible marine practices. Our work connects ocean farming with land-based applications, supporting research trials, agricultural inputs, and emerging bioproduct markets.
Our extraction and processing methods are designed to preserve naturally occurring compounds found in kelp, producing a consistent liquid extract intended for use in research, trials, and agricultural systems. We work closely with local partners and research institutions to test, refine, and scale our approach.
HoldFast NL is building capacity deliberately, prioritizing dependable supply, transparent practices, and long-term stewardship of marine resources as we prepare for expanded production in the coming years.
We believe seaweed farming has a meaningful role to play in resilient food systems and coastal economies.
