Get ready to dive into the world of abalone farming, where you'll taste the ocean's finest delicacy straight from the source!
Get an insider’s look at our vibrant working farm and the processes that produce sustainable seafood. Located just 20 minutes north of Santa Barbara, our farm is nestled between the beautiful Gaviota Coast and Santa Ynez mountains. End your tour with a tasting of abalone paired with rice and seaweed salad prepared by Paul Osborne of Santa Barbara Fish Market and Amber Rose Wine flight poured by local winemaker, Amber Hogan.
Buy fresh, live seafood direct from the source!

Our abalone, purple hotchi, and red seaweed are available for purchase from our Farm Shop at the close of your tour. Be sure to bring a cooler with ice to safely transport your live seafood.
