At noon the seaweed seminar will move to the Seaweed Chateau in Philo, where we will spread seaweed to dry in the hot Mendocino sun, have a picinic lunch, prepare and discuss seaweed cookery and nutritional healing use. Participants are invited to harvest up to ten wet pounds of delectable edible seaweed for personal use to preserve and enjoy.
