- SINCE 1982 -

Meet Jim Haliburton, the founder of KELPMAN. His passion for feeding plants naturally, without chemicals, led to his quest to develop a pure and powerful, liquid kelp fertilizer that he could bring to market. After years of research and certifications, Jim was able to launch KELPMAN in 1982. This liquid kelp fertilizer became available to consumers and farmers in Canada, United States and around the globe. Keep an eye out for Jim's other passion projects, such as a water retention blanket made from natural plant fibre.

- OUR SUSTAINABLE VISION -

At KELPMAN, we believe in the power of sustainable fertilizing practices. By feeding our farms, gardens and plants with consideration of our ecosystems, we can help keep our soils healthy, which in turn will support growing healthier plants for generations to come.

"Each one of us can play a vital role in improving and restoring the quality of our fragile global environment by starting in our own backyards!

Organic gardening practices will help ensure a safer and more positive future for generations to come."

Statement by our treasured Canadian Naturalist Painter Robert Bateman and authorized for use by KelpMan/Sea Spray in February, 1996.
