Atlantic Sea Farms -- the award-winning, impact-driven, women-run, first-to-market regenerative kelp aquaculture company that offers nutrient-dense culinary kelp products, while actively mitigating effects of climate change, boosting Maine's coastal economies, and preserving vital local working waterfront communities -- has been named in Fast Company's Second Annual List of "Brands That Matter" The recognition program honors companies and nonprofits that have achieved relevance through cultural impact and social engagement, and authentically communicated their missions and ideals.

BIDDEFORD, Maine, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fast Company announced today its second annual Brands That Matter list, honoring brands that communicate and demonstrate brand purpose. Atlantic Sea Farms is extremely proud to have been chosen among the companies and nonprofits, which have achieved relevance through cultural impact and social engagement, and authentically communicated their missions and ideals.

The final list, which includes large multinational conglomerates, small-but-mighty companies, and nonprofits, recognizes 144 brands that give people compelling reasons to care about them—and offer inspiration for others to buy in. All 144 have found an ability to forge an emotional connection with customers, whether leading on the environment or pop culture, engaging B2B customers, or responding meaningfully to current events.

“We are so proud to have our efforts to create a radically positive environmental and socioeconomic impact – by building an increasingly resilient coastal economy and more honest and nourishing food system – recognized by Fast Company’s “Brands That Matter.” Atlantic Sea Farms CEO, Briana Warner

All brands that applied were considered for overall recognition. Additionally, there are also honorees on category-specific lists based on region, size, and status.

"This year, we've expanded the Brands That Matter program to evaluate honorees in the context of how they matter within the category in which they compete for people's attention or loyalty. The result is a wide-ranging list of honorees that are making their mark on culture, and through social impact," said Brendan Vaughan, Fast Company's editor-in-chief.

"We at Atlantic Sea Farms have been, and continue to be, one hundred percent motivated by the opportunity to create a radically positive environmental and socioeconomic impact through our work. We are beyond proud to have our efforts to build an increasingly resilient coastal economy and more honest and nourishing food system recognized by Fast Company's "Brands That Matter," said Atlantic Sea Farms CEO, Briana Warner.

Headquartered in Biddeford, Maine, Atlantic Sea Farms is an award-winning, impact-driven, women-run, first-to-market regenerative kelp aquaculture company that offers nutrient-dense culinary kelp products, while actively mitigating effects of climate change, boosting Maine's coastal economies, and preserving vital local working waterfront communities. The American leader in seaweed aquaculture, the company partners with independent Maine coast fishermen to grow kelp in pristine, domestic waters, and has garnered a reputation for innovation and bringing healthy and delicious products to the market while making it easy for consumers to incorporate kelp into their daily diets.

Since launching its initial five retail products in 2019, the company's retail line has grown to include nine craveable products and over twenty wholesale offerings, and they have formed several partnerships with like-minded CPG brands, providing kelp as an ingredient to create new products.

The company works with thirty partner fishermen farmers and counting, who grow regeneratively farmed kelp on 100 acres of ocean and have produced over 1.7 million pounds of the carbon negative, zero input aquaculture crop in just three short years. During this time, Atlantic Sea Farms has put over $1M back into fishermen's pockets via kelp farming and removed over 250,000 pounds of carbon from local ocean waters. By providing a source of diversified income to Maine's fishing community, Atlantic Sea Farms is helping to ensure that working families can continue to thrive in the state's coastal communities for generations to come.

Atlantic Sea Farms' recently expanded company headquarters (from 7,000 to 27,000 square feet) has allowed them to double their full-time employees, significantly expand their processing capacity and kelp nursery (they remain the largest kelp nursery in the Western hemisphere); and bring their fermentation facility in house. Honors and awards have included multiple Good Food Awards and NEXTYs, a Sofi award, the Specialty Food Association's Business Leadership Award, the Eating Well American Food Hero Award and now, Fast Company's Brands That Matter.

Fast Company editors judged each brand on relevancy, cultural impact, ingenuity, and business impact to compile the list.
