How it does good

The "salt of the earth" that's good for the earth, too

• 

  responsible sourcing

  In addition to the Oregon seaweed farmers who help produce their furikak blend, they also use local rosemary farmers. Jacobsen has partnered with Burlap & Barrel and Diaspora to bring fair trade far beyond their own ingredients.
• 

  supporting key causes

  Jacobsen Salt Co. has set their focus on childhood hunger causes. Each year, Ben Jacobsen participates in Chef's Cycle to raise money for the No Kid Hungry foundation. The company also donates products throughout the year to foundations looking to end food insecurity and childhood hunger. Finally, they've created the Jacobsen Co. Hive Program to source, deliver, and install bees and beehives while offering educational classes and consulting.
• 

  recyclable packaging

  Currently, most Jacobsen packaging is recyclable. They use glass and recyclable materials whenever they can, and they're looking to make plastic free alternatives for all packaging.
• 

  low carbon footprint

  Jacobsen is continually refining their processes to lower their carbon footprint. Right now, they're using gas in their process, but they've invested in new equipment to decrease their natural gas usage by nearly 50%.
