saltwest Last May, while on vacation on Vancouver Island, my family and I Β came across a sign for a Salt Factory. We were looking for local farms and places to take the kids and had already been to a lama farm and a bee farm. Β A salt factory defiantly sounded unique. Upon arrival at the small facility tucked away near a residential development, we joined a tour already in progress.

This small operation, owned by a husband and wife team, harvest ocean water from the shores of the Juan de Fuca Straight on the southern shore of Vancouver Island. Β They truck it to their near by facility and start the process of removing the water from the natural salt. Depending on the end product being produced they use a combination of reverse osmosis, sun dried, boiled and baked. It truly is a labour of love with some products taking over a month to produce. Β In their kitchen they infuse the salt with natural flavours, producing delicious and unique combinations on both kitchen and bath salts. Β All made right here in Canada with no anti clumping or artificial ingredients.

This truly is my favourite way of coming across new products for the store. Β I love meeting the people, seeing the process and finding unique, useful products for my customers. Because of this trip SaltWest products have made their way to Carleton Place Ontario!
