We believe that the best pickles, baking and apples don't need to come from another continent or take a ferry boat ride. They can be grown by the accountant down the street or made by a retired baker who still loves making pies.

localsalt uses technology to return to what humans have naturally done for millennia - trade goods with their neighbors. localsalt just adds currency and convenience for the modern age.

Why salt?

Salt was one of the earliest forms of currency because of its prized value as a food preservative. Roman generals would often pay their soldiers in salt. Salt is used to this day to preserve food and is also in the the name of the creative community where localsalt is being launched.
