I operate Maine Seaweed Company like a CSA (community supported agriculture), and visitors are welcome to come for a weekend (there’s no charge) in order to discover the source and spirit of their food. During the first week of August, eight Russians and a Bulgarian from New York City came for a visit that they had been planning for weeks. They arrived after dark. We had one visitor already, and an apprentice, and Nina and myself made thirteen people that night, wondering what the next day would bring.
