Salt is an ESSENTIAL nutrient that is ESSENTIAL for human life. So it stands to reason then that if you don't buy this salt, you'll die. Statistically speaking, you'll also die if you buy this salt. There's really nothing you can do to stave off your eventual demise. And with your own mortality in mind, don't you think you deserve an expensive salty treat?

Our salt is solar evaporated and hand harvested in unheated hoop-houses making the process completely driven by the sun. This makes our salt quite unique, as almost all high end artisan salt in the world is made through boiling seawater, which as you could imagine, is incredibly energy intensive!
Our sun powered evaporation is quiet, seasonal and low input. Contrast that with boiled salt, which can take as much as 2 lbs of liquid fuel to make 1 lb of salt.
Natural Salt
Sunshine and seawater, the only ingredients in our mineral rich sea salt.
Ingredients: Sea salt.
San Juan Blend
This is my go to herb blend and thus I named it after my home-San Juan Island. It is garlickly, with a rich, savory and slightly spicy flavor. I put it on fried eggs, french bread, potatoes, and fresh tuna salad. You will find yourself using this on everything.
Ingredients: Our sea salt, garlic*, paprika*, parsley*, celery seed* (*organic).
Madrona Smoked Salt
This is a taste of our place, born out of our unique island ecosystem. The Pacific Madrona (Arbutus menziesii) is a beautiful and interesting native tree that grows here on the island. It grows on rocky slopes, in forest clearings and it's shape is never twice the same. We collect fallen branches of the tree on the island and use them to cold smoke our sea salt. This smoked salt has a hearty, smoked salmon like aroma, with a soft brown caramel color. Many smoked salts I have tried are overly intense and harsh, but we prefer a light-medium smoke, and this salt lives up to that.
A few great ways to use this salt are on a slice of a fresh garden tomato, on roasted root vegetables, or as a seasoning on chicken or steak.
Ingredients: Sea Salt.
Popcorn Blend
Once you try this super yummy, yeasty blend you will find yourself putting it on a whole lot more than just popcorn! Vegetables, pasta, eggs and basically anything else that finds its way onto your plate. This is by far my favorite product I've ever made and I use it every day on just about everything. Sometimes I even eat it right out of the jar!
Ingredients: Our sea salt, nutritional yeast, organic dill, organic garlic, organic black pepper organic red pepper flakes, organic cayenne pepper.

I first tried making sea salt as a youngster when my best friend and I decided we’d save some money on Christmas gifts by collecting some seawater from the beach and making salt. The only problem was that to make it we boiled the water on our parents' stoves, which used tons of electricity and made a huge mess! After working on vegetable farms for several years after college, we have found a better way. Now our process uses the power of the sun to slowly evaporate large ponds of seawater inside greenhouses. This is so much better! And not only because to make boiled sea salt can require as much as 2# of liquid fossil fuel to make 1# of salt! We use greenhouses to increase the temperature of the air, which speeds up evaporation and of course keeps the rain out. Unlike many sea salt farmers, we let our seawater evaporate all the way down, bringing the whole wild and briny mineral rainbow of the ocean into our salt to broaden the flavor. While store bought sea salt is chemically refined to be 99% sodium chloride, the ocean itself is much more diverse in its mineral makeup and we let those trace minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium and much more) into our salt so that when you eat it, you are reminded of the sea from which it came!
