By transforming underutilized resources into regenerative solutions, we embrace responsible stewardship of the land and sea we call home. We do this by promoting agriculture that sequesters carbon and strengthens regional food systems.
We invite farmers, fishers, and communities to join us in moving toward a thriving, resilient future—an Earth that is abundant, healthy, and whole.
We are a women-owned company, founded by a fisher, a rancher, and an ecologist, each committed to grassroots, community-driven food production and climate action.
In nature, nothing is wasted. Every fallen leaf, discarded shell, and flow of the tides serves a valuable purpose in a finely balanced cycle of renewal. By repurposing underutilized resources like fish and wool, we create bioactive soil nutrients that restore fertility, strengthen food systems, and enable farmers and fishers to both achieve high yields and take a stand for climate action.
We believe that healthy soil is one of our greatest tools for capturing carbon and rebuilding resilient ecosystems. That’s why our products do more than promote plant growth; they work with nature to replenish the land and cultivate a future where soil biodiversity thrives, water is clean, and communities prosper.
Victoria Voss was born into a Santa Barbara-based family of commercial fishers and has fished commercially for sockeye salmon in Alaska and spiny lobsters in California. With a passion for sustainable take and ethical stewardship, she is deeply connected to the identity and way of life that comes with an ocean-based living.
Kim Selkoe is a marine ecologist affiliated with University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), and is the executive director of Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara (CFSB), a nonprofit port association. She is passionate about bringing together fishers, scientists, and policymakers to tackle complex issues facing our fishing community.
For the past two decades, Jenya Schneider has been asking how we can best learn from and steward our native ecologies. She has worked in a wide range of human, plant, and animal-centered systems to restore both their human and more-than-human ecosystems, including the Elwha River watershed, the Bay Area, and the Cuyama Valley. In 2016, the vision of working as a part of California ecologies while producing regeneratively sourced food and fiber enticed her into cofounding Cuyama Lamb. She is passionate about working with these amazing animals to create a California that lives safely and abundantly alongside natural wildfire ecologies.
