Local Vendor Spotlight: Neptune’s Harvest

Neptune’s Harvest (a division of Ocean Crest Seafoods, Inc., established in Gloucester in 1965) began in 1986 as an effort to use the fresh fish scraps left behind after the filleting process. When a fish is filleted, removing the edible portion leaves behind about 70% of the actual fish. Years ago, crews brought those scraps out to sea and dumped them back into the ocean.

 

Ocean Crest Seafoods, Inc. and Neptune’s Harvest, along with the state of Massachusetts and local universities, developed a process in which they changed an environmental hazard into an environmental benefit. After years of trial and error, and refining their products, Neptune’s Harvest produces the finest organic liquid fish fertilizers available today. They come from the mineral-rich Atlantic Ocean, nature’s perfect source of the nutrients plants and soil need.

 

A few reasons why Neptune’s Harvest is a favorite local product of ours:

• Locally owned, family-run business in Gloucester, MA
• 100% organic and eco-friendly–won’t burn plants or roots and does not pollute the environment
• They use a unique cold process that protects vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. This method keeps everything readily available for your plants.
• Neptune’s Harvest builds sugars in plants, which makes them healthier and less susceptible to fungus, disease, and insect damage
• Their liquid fertilizer keeps indefinitely until you add water.
• When you use it, vegetables, fruits, and herbs taste better. Flowers also show richer color with more plentiful, longer-lasting blooms.
• Excellent deer repellant too
