Know Your Farmer: Jacobsen Salt Co.



GREAT SALT EVERYDAY

When Ben Jacobsen lived in Scandinavia, he discovered the magic of finishing salt — how it can be the single most effective and affordable way one can elevate food. He instantly became mesmerized by how "good salt" can elevate each bite of food. His appreciation for salt quickly turned into a pursuit for making the best salt in America.

Jacobsen returned to the Pacific Northwest and immersed himself in the salt making process. His journey began by scouting a source. He visited more than two dozen sites along the coast of Oregon and Washington, finally choosing Netarts Bay, Oregon for it's clean, clear and high salinity waters. After his two-and-a-half year journey, Jacobsen Salt Co. was founded in 2011, and is the first company to harvest sea salt in the Pacific Northwest since Lewis & Clark built their salt works in 1805. Since then it has transformed from a local, small business to a nationally recognized brand.
