the wildflower that could save the sea BY ANDREW HEBARD
How one man’s wild British childhood and love of the ocean led to a regenerative alternative to fish oil
On April 1, 2002, my wife, our two daughters, Grizwold—our barking mad German Shorthaired Pointer—and I ‘landed’ in North Carolina from the Southeast of England. We chose North Carolina because of its diverse and unrivalled access to nature—from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Outer Banks—and its rich, multicultural society embracing science, arts, history, and technology. We weren’t on a magnificent wooden sailboat like the pilgrims before us, but on an aging US Airways Boeing 737. Yet it seemed a fitting place to put down roots and build a business that combines agriculture, health and wellness, and ocean abundance. It became the birthplace of Ahiflower®, and I’m honored to share part of the story.
