Organic Fertilizer From the Sea With Ann Molloy of Neptune’s Harvest

On this week’s episode of American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan welcomes Ann Molloy, co-owner and Director of Sales & Marketing for Neptune’s Harvest, based in Gloucester.

A member of a fifth-generation Gloucester fishing family, Ann shares how her family’s historic roots in New England’s seafood industry evolved into a nationally recognized organic fertilizer company. What began in the 1980s as a responsible solution for unused fish byproducts has grown into a thriving business dedicated to soil health and sustainable agriculture. By transforming fish remains and seaweed into nutrient-rich fertilizers through a specialized cold-processing method, Neptune’s Harvest preserves natural enzymes, oils, and micronutrients that support long-term soil vitality.

Ann discusses the importance of environmental stewardship, resource conservation, and regenerative farming practices. She explains how fish- and seaweed-based fertilizers improve soil biology, enhance microbial life, and provide balanced plant nutrition—offering farmers and gardeners an alternative to short-term synthetic inputs.

From coastal fishing heritage to modern agricultural innovation, this conversation highlights how family enterprise, sustainability, and responsible use of natural resources can work together to support the future of American farming.
