Reviews
"This is a tiny but well-established little salt-harvesting business. Well worth the visit, the 20-minute tour was so interesting and informative I forgot to take pictures! The main shop is full of local and Appalachian handmade goods, and very meticulously decorated in a charming log-cabin style. There is a small, cultivated garden path outside as well. We were very impressed by the different salt flavors, and by their unswerving insistence on using low-impact farming methods and local ingredients in their flavored products. Our tour guide told us they'd been back in business for 10 years; I hope they have many more years ahead of them!"
"We really enjoyed our tour - the guide was informative and did a great job at telling the history and describing the process of salt production. We especially enjoyed the tasting at the end of the tour. We purchased several items for our personal use as well as gifts in the shop."
"I went here today to purchase a selection of Appalachian made products for a gift basket. They have a really nice selection and I ended up with flavored salts, caramel, chocolate, hot sauce, chili mix, cranberry sauce snd a really cute card. Huge bonus was the really interesting tour given by Lily. She covered the history of the salt works and then showed the steps in the process today. This is a great little tour for people who love history and for those who like to see behind the scenes."
"This historic gem in WV is a beautiful venue for your wedding! From the greenhouses to the private family farm, there are so many photo opps! We love photographing weddings here. You’re so close to downtown Charleston for lodging options for out of town guests while still feeling tucked away on your Big Day! Highly recommend."
"Beautiful little store with self-produced saltbased goods and also an amazing selection of different goods from the local Appalachian region. We came spontaneously on a road trip through the area and visited the Salt-Works. While the production area was not open for a visit, the store and the very nice staff provided us with some highlights. We got flavored salt, caramel sauce and a cherry barbeque sauce. The selection was very impressive and inspiring. Overall a real gem - if we are back in the area we will for sure stop by again."
