About us

It was Dave's idea to try our hand at salt making after moving to the Eastern Shore to be close to my aging parents. We had been reveling in spending time on our Carolina Skiff exploring the pristine beauty of the Virginia Coast Reserve - a 130,000-acre swath of unspoiled Atlantic Ocean water, uninhabited barrier islands, and marshes on the eastern shore of the Eastern Shore. It's not easily accessible, even by boat, because the channels shift constantly, making Dave's Coast Guard career captaining boats indispensable. We both love to cook, and during my time working at McCormick & Co., I had launched a Mediterranean sea salt, igniting our curiosity about salts made around the world. Dave proposed trying to make our own sea salt from the pure waters of the Reserve and so began what has been a beautiful adventure.

It took years of education and countless small batches for Dave to perfect the centuries-old, artisan methods of salt making used by salt makers worldwide. Our sea salt captures the unique flavor of coastal Virginia and is a testament to the pristine wilderness of the Eastern Shore and our commitment to quality.

We're proud to have our sea salt on the shelves of some of the most beautiful gourmet & gift shops around the country. We also sell direct to our customers on our website, and in our own historic mercantile shop in the charming town of Eastville, VA on the Eastern Shore.

Thank you for sharing this journey with us - we hope you enjoy using our sea salt as much as we enjoy making it for you.

Warm wishes,
David & Anna Lee
