Hand-harvested West Virginia salt, it doesn't get much better than that!

The only thing getting us through this cold weather is the thought of sunny days and salty harvests. We sure do miss making salt during the winter! Thankfully our production team works hard during the salt-making season to ensure you can enjoy our salt all year long! 🧂✨

As white as snow! ❄️☃️

Did you know? Salt’s bright white color comes from its natural crystalline structure. Sodium chloride forms a cubic lattice that scatters light evenly, creating that pure, white appearance we all know salt to have.

Many people mistakenly think commercial salt is bleached, but that’s not true! Commercial salt is heavily processed and purified, often removing naturally occurring trace minerals to ensure a consistent and familiar white look.

Our hand-harvested salt, however, is naturally white, straight from the earth, with no need for harsh processing or additives. 💪💁‍♀️
