July 19, 2017 - Posted in Blog, Uncategorized - 0 Comments

I’m so not a foodie. I’m so not someone who makes artisanal salts. But then, one day I did. And I became that person who puts salts together with specks of dried leaves and seeds and grinds the whole thing together. I ended up with a salt/bouillon mix, which is crazy pants awesome. Now I’m a convert—as you can see below when you read about how I make my own bouillon/salt. I should back up a bit and say that, over the years, I’ve become a wildcrafter and a gardener.
