New Thorvin Icelandic Harvest Underway

The days are getting longer and a bit warmer in Iceland, and that signals the start of Thorvin’s new harvest season for our Icelandic Geothermal Kelp – Ascophyllum nodosum. This nutrient‐rich species of kelp is used in several of Thorvin’s products in the agricultural, pet, and nutritional markets.
