How it does good
The "salt of the earth" that's good for the earth, too
Sea salt comes from water, which means there are a lot of environmental elements to consider with it. Jacobsen tested water from over 25 locations before settling on the Netarts Bay oyster beds they now use. The oysters filter the sea water, creating a high salinity and low turbidity while filtering out any pollutants. Jacobsen also looks for ways to give back, both through their suppliers and the community. They use direct trade with Oregon seaweed farmers and work with brands who share their mission.
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.

Hi Hive! It's Kate from the Merch team. When I was growing up, we had a lot of taco dinners out of that familiar yellow box. Jacobsen has managed to home in on the flavors I remember without adding any of the junk and, as with everything they do, taking the taco to the next level. If you're interested in an insider tip, consider adding a bag of Pipsnacks' Corn Chips to your cart and eating your Taco Tuesday dinner out of the bag. You'll thank me later, I promise.
