We bring together a network of small producers, beautiful sailing ships, and passionate allies to deliver the most delicious goods from across the oceans. A nutritious, affordable, and fair food system exists, get involved!

We’ve developed a pre-order-and-collect model that uses sailing ships to deliver your cargo, close to pollution-free. It is a system of trade that puts people and the planet first. By purchasing in advance the cost of both the cargo and the voyage is shared amongst many and the financial risk of a voyage is reduced.

By collecting from the ship, the onward distribution and storage needs are also shared and reduced. By buying larger amounts to last you the season, we economise on the packaging and overland transport. This is also in line with the ship’s schedules, which are seasonal as dictated by the wind.
