Our Spring 2024 Newsletter!

Brady Ryan

What’s going on in San Juan? There’s the smell of ripe nootka roses is in the air, the sky is big and blue, and some of us are venturing out of our hoodies and double layers… so, happy spring, salt fam! Spring is a magical time on the island (which usurps our world-famous summers, in my mind), and one of our sweetest spots at the farm. Right before the busy summer season of salt harvesting and cranking out salty cookies for the storefront. Apple trees are in bloom, the grass is green, and we’re opening up the warehouse doors to let that sweet spring scent in. 

This spring…

We are bringing back an old, sweet favorite we thought might never return, and will be releasing a new salty blend in May, as well as taking a deep dive into how to use our sweet and spicy Teriyaki Blend on the  blog. Keep your eyes peeled as May chugs along! Can you guess which old favorite we’re bringing back? There’s a clue hidden in this newsletter!

Brady is out getting our first truckloads of water… when our salt truck, FRD (pronounced FRED), isn’t breaking down roadside. Brady’s handling it with an obscene amount of grace, though! Our season for filling our waterbeds with all the salt we have for the rest of the year is usually March–September, so we are getting into the swing of things!

We’ve also got a new furry friend on the farm! His name is Mitch, and he’s a sweetheart puppy with big ol’ paws. He’s already giving us big doses of love everyday!

Our incredible coworker Hayley (who has been with us since last fall!) is taking a seasonal break to run her super fun shop below Friday's Crabhouse, right in front of the ferry. Go say hi to her if you get a chance… she’s an absolute gem and has a killer sunglass selection! We’re really gonna miss her for a few months! But our wonderful, most recent addition to the farm, Maddy, is absolutely killing it helping bake, fill, and label, as are our backbones of the farm Anna N.Jonna, and Lindsay, who literally keep this ship sailing.

Plus, huge shout-outs to…

  • Tyler, our smoking and caramel master who is adding one more smoked good to his roster this month!
  • Barb, our caramel-organizer extraordinaire!
  • Leah, Doreen and Maddy, who help crank out our mouthwatering cookies weekly! 
  • Beth, who literally is the warm, fun, sweet-as-honey vibe of the shop when you enter!
  • and Ian, the salt guy who is working his butt off hand-processing all of our salt himself! 

And finally, there’s gonna be a big surprise release for locals this month. Check out our Instagram for updates, but this is one we’ve been asked about for a long time… and it’s most likely a shop exclusive, so make sure to put a visit to our store on your island itinerary! 

We are wishing you a warm spring, with lots of growing on our ends and yours! Thanks so much for being the sweetest customers we could ask for. Let’s spring in, salt fam!
