Welcome Pack

Natural Sea Salt
Rich, briny and robust, with the mineral character of the ocean still intact. The wild crystals are ground and sifted into our finest everyday salt.
Try it on: Fresh tomatoes, avocado, eggs, vegetables and good bread and butter.

San Juan Blend
Our island all-purpose seasoning. Garlicky and peppery with a hint of celery and a little heat.
Try it on: French bread, tuna salad, corn on the cob, eggs, vegetables and pasta.

Garlic & Friends
A cut above ordinary garlic salt. Garlic, onion, leek and delicately aged black garlic create a pungent, mildly sweet allium blend.
Try it on: Garlic bread, buttered ravioli, steamed carrots and anywhere you’d normally reach for garlic.

Popcorn Blend
Nutty, cheesy and deeply savoury, with nutritional yeast, dill, garlic and a little heat. It started with popcorn, but customers quickly discovered it belongs on almost everything.
Try it on: Popcorn, buttered pasta, avocado toast, fried eggs, potatoes and roasted vegetables.

It starts with seawater harvested near our farm on San Juan Island.

We bring it back to the farm and spread it into shallow ponds inside our solar evaporation greenhouses.
Then we wait.

Sunshine slowly removes the water. Tiny pyramid crystals begin forming on the surface, sink and continue growing into each other in unpredictable shapes.
Rather than refining all that wildness away, we’ve spent years learning how to preserve a wider spectrum of the minerals naturally present in the seawater.

That’s what gives San Juan Island Sea Salt its rich, briny, distinctly oceanic character.

The salt is then harvested, dried and sorted. Some becomes Natural Sea Salt. The most delicate naturally sized crystals become Reserve. Some spends two days over Madrona smoke. And some heads into the spice kitchen to become our seasoning blends.

What makes San Juan Island Sea Salt different?

Most salt is anonymous. Ours has a place, a person and a personality.
We harvest seawater near our farm on San Juan Island and slowly solar evaporate it in greenhouse ponds. Rather than refining the finished salt toward pure saltiness, we preserve more of the ocean’s natural mineral character.
The result is a wild, briny sea salt that tastes noticeably more like the ocean.

Is the salt really grown in greenhouses?
Yes. We pump harvested seawater into shallow ponds inside our solar evaporation greenhouses and let sunshine slowly remove the water.
Tiny crystals begin appearing on the surface before sinking and growing together into all kinds of wild shapes.
No industrial boiling. Just seawater, sunshine and time.

What’s the difference between Natural and Reserve Sea Salt?
They come from the same harvest.
Natural Sea Salt is made from the larger wild crystals, which we grind and sift into an everyday grain.
Reserve is the small portion of each harvest that naturally forms as delicate crystals already at the perfect size. We leave those crystals intact, giving Reserve its distinctive texture and crunch.

Are all the seasoning blends made with your own sea salt?
Yes. Every blend in the Welcome Pack starts with the San Juan Island Sea Salt we harvest and grow ourselves.
We then add herbs, spices and other ingredients to take that salt in completely different flavour directions.

Can I buy larger sizes once I find my favourites?
Yes. The individual salts and blends are available separately, and all are available in larger refill bags once you know which jars you keep reaching for.
