Update
20 November 2025Hello! Some good developments have taken place over the last few months, with the evaporation pods being placed out at Blueskin Bay, the first batch of salt being started, and verification occurring. The verification appointment went really well, and the verifier was very happy with the processes we're following. We have also had testing done on the final salt produced, and these have come back with mostly good results including safe levels of heavy metals and faecal coliforms. However, the sodium chloride content of the first batch of salt was too low, so we will not be able to sell this first batch of salt.
This first batch of salt has been a great learning experience and demonstrated that the process I’m following can produce a good amount of salt, and with safe levels of heavy metals and faecal coliforms, and has shown me some things that can be tweaked to improve the process. The second batch of salt will be started in December 2025! Thank you to everyone who has supported this project, we’re well on the way to producing delicious and local salt!
