We make everything we can from scratch, but for the things we can't, such as salt, we seek out only the best producers and purveyors, like J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works 🙌
Our salt, used throughout all our restaurants, comes to us by way of J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works, a 7th generation salt-making family that harvests all-natural salt by hand, from an ancient ocean trapped below the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia.
We care about our sourcing, all the way down to our salt, which is why we're honored to work with family farmers that prioritize sustainability, community, and the utmost care of the product itself.
Learn more about J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works on our blog at https://www.wearefoundingfarmers.com/founding-farmers-and-j-q-dickinson-salt/.
