Kona Sea Salt

Hawaii Island’s only Salt Farm. Located on a beautiful 7 acre oceanfront site, we hand harvest Haw But the salt isn’t ready yet!
(35)

Kona Sea Salt is located on the Kona coast of Hawaii, the “Big Island” in the Hawaiian island chain. We pride ourselves in producing a renowned sea salt, which continues to earn accolades from top executive chefs and fitness experts for its delicate flavor and rich trace mineral content. Kona Sea Salt is entirely hand tended from the moment our deep seawater arrives on site. After about four weeks

of unhurried evaporation within our closed drying systems, the bright Hawaiian sun transforms the seawater into our characteristic, pure white Kona Sea Salt crystals. The crystals are gently scooped into buckets and wheeled to covered wooden hoppers. Here, the remaining moisture is drained from the salt creating a concentrated brine called nigari*, or bitterns. Once it’s fully dried, the salt is patiently inspected to exacting standards, then packaged for sale. Kona Sea Salt destined for our retail product line is oven-dried on site in accordance with State of Hawaii health requirements, then labeled and packaged by hand for shipping. Whether it's a single grinder, or full pallets shipped by sea, we make certain that every order of Kona Sea Salt arrives as quickly and affordably as possible from our Kona production site. We are not open to the public, but sell our goods online. Please visit our website to learn more about our products or make a purchase today!

Wow, passed its 1 million lbs removal landmark today. Almost impossible to phantom what an effort that is and what an impact that makes!!
This is the announcement note Kevin, the President of The Papahanaumokuakea Marine Debris Project sent:
It’s been 3 years, 11 months since PMDP executed our first cleanup in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument as a shoestring startup nonprofit. Uplifted by our dedicated donors, grantors, partners and community members, we’ve been able to accomplish more than we ever thought possible in that short time. Today our team’s sore and swollen hands pulled out the 1 MILLIONTH pound of debris from this sensitive and sacred place. Thatʻs 1 MILLION pounds lifted out of the ocean with nothing but human muscle. 1 MILLION pounds carried by small inflatable boat through reefs and islands, and 1 MILLION pounds transported by ship over 1,000 miles to Honolulu. (To give some reference for our feather-fluffing here, 1 million pounds is the equivalent weight of 555 Volkswagen Beetles).

Here’s how we got here:
10 separate large-scale expeditions to Papahānaumokuākea
265 total expedition-days
75 individual rock-star team members
YOU! Our Community!
Thank you for being a part of this stewardship community! Together we are making a huge difference for the wildlife and habitats of Hawaiiʻs most sensitive islands. Donʻt worry, weʻre not stopping any time soon. 1 MILLION is only a stepping stone to 2 MILLION.

Today was a landmark day of debris removal from Hōlanikū. With a swell filling in from the NW, we knew we had to get as much done today as we could, because we wouldn’t be coming back tomorrow. Nets were dug out of the sand, and plastics we schlepped and bagged. With an 8 mile round trip run to the ship we had to load every boat as efficiently as possible. The boats were running all day, as fast as the debris could be staged and loaded. After all was said and done, 12,030 pounds of nets and plastics were removed today, bringing our total removed from Hōlanikū to 17,170 lbs.

09/27/2024

Great story on our give back partner, The Papahanaumokuakea Marine Debris Projects and their amazing accomplishments. They are out on mission right now and just about to break the 1 million lbs of marine debris removed mark.

09/26/2024

Huge congratulations!! Day 11 for and the 100,000 lb marine debris removal hit for this mission. 24,000 more lbs and the project will reach its 1 million lb goal. Huge congratulations!! We are in awe of what you do!

Candee, who kindly helps us on weekends hosting our salt farm tours on salt’s role in world history.

Please come see us at the Mana Up Showcase event on November 11 at Bloomingdale’s Honolulu. This is our special offer this year, our Deep Ocean Magnesium and Refill Bottle.

One thing that @ironmantri athletes have in common with all of us is the need for magnesium. Whether ingested or used topically, high quality magnesium helps with inflammation, muscle soreness, blood circulation, metabolism, and more! Ironman triathlete and Kona resident Michael Kemp tells us why he loves using our liquid magnesium products and deep sea foot soaks to aid his recovery routine after a long day of training. @swim_mike_run_aloha is raising money for the Ironman Foundation, an organization dedicated to giving back to the communities that host these events. And we’re here to help! We will be donating a portion of our proceeds from all tours, foot soaks, and retail purchases to help Mike’s fundraiser and give more back to the Kona community we love so dearly. Check the link in our bio if you would like to contribute to Mike’s fundraiser, and we hope to “sea” you at the farm! 👋 #ironman #seasalt #konaseasalt #konasaltfarm #saltyallday #thingstodoinkona #luckywelivehawaii #ironmanfoundation

Whether you’re an @ironmantri athlete or just someone living an active lifestyle, electrolyte intake is important. Ironman triathlete and Kona resident Michael Kemp tells us why he prefers to use mineral rich sea salt as his electrolyte supplement! @swim_mike_run_aloha is raising money for the Ironman Foundation, an organization dedicated to giving back to the communities that host these events. And we’re here to help! We will be donating a portion of our proceeds from all tours, foot soaks, and retail purchases to help Mike’s fundraiser and give more back to the Kona community we love so dearly.

Harvest time! After weeks of solar evaporation and crystalization, our amazing harvest team Ellie and Mason set out to collect the results of playing the waiting game. Once the sea salt is collected it is placed in a series of hoppers to help it finishing draining. If you’re at the salt farm on a tour and see them out harvesting, give them some love for all their hard work they do to bring us the purest, lowest-sodium deep sea salt ❤️ #seasalt #konaseasalt #hawaiianseasalt #saltfarm #saltyallday #thingstodoinkona #bigislandtours #konatours #konasaltfarm #kona

Ipolani tells us how she likes to use our popular garlic sea salt 🧄🌊 We get it. With so many tasty flavors, it’s hard to know what to get. So, come try them out for yourself! We have salt tastings every day at our salt farm for those curious to sample our selection, conveniently located next to the Kona airport. Take in the scenic views on our farm, tour our salt making facility, and try put pur deep sea foot soak! . . . . . #seasalt #konaseasalt #hawaiianseasalt #saltfarm #luckywelivehawaii #saltyallday #seasaltsofhawaii #thingstodoinkona #bigislandtours #konatours

Some of our wonderful guests shared with us their thoughts on our deep sea foot soak while talking story after a farm tour. The consensus was in: nothing beats a good cold soak on a hot Hawaiian day! Mahalo nui to everyone for sharing your experiences with us. If you’re looking to cool off this summer, come see us at our salt farm any day of the week, where you can soak in peace and paradise 🌊 . . . . . #konaseasalt #konasaltfarm #saltyallday #footsoak #magnesium #konatours #thingstodoinkona #saltlove

Fresh batch of sea salt coming in hot! This part of the harvesting process comes after weeks of patience. Since we use solar evaporation to dry our salt, we must allow Mother Nature to do her thing. And you know what they say, good things take time 😉 . . . . . #konaseasalt #seasalt #hawaiianseasalt #konasaltfarm #luckywelivehawaii #saltyallday #konatours

Did you know the deep sea water we make our salt from came from Greenland 900 years ago? It traveled via the deep sea currents that circumnavigate the earth right to our backyard. What a journey to take just to help us provide you with the purest, most mineral rich sea salt available! Thank you Greenland ❤️ . . . . . #konaseasalt #konasaltfarm #seasalt #saltyallday #seasaltsofhawaii #kona #hawaii #thingstodoinkona #bigislandtours #sustainability

Welcome to our beautiful Kona salt farm, located on the westernmost point of Hawaii Island! We make our salt using deep seawater extracted from 2,200ft below the surface. This pure water is mineral-rich and yields the lowest sodium content of any other commercially available salt. Our farm is open daily for tours where you can see our full-circle operation: where we source it, how we harvest it, and how we process it. You can also cool off with our magnesium-rich deep sea foot soak and sample all of our various salts! We’re conveniently located next to the Kona airport, so whether your just arriving or about to head off, come say hi, learn a ton from our #sodiumcute guides (like Ipolani here) and experience the fascinating innovations happening at @nelha_808 park! Sea you soon! 🌊 . . . . . #konaseasalt #seasaltsofhawaii #konasaltfarm #thingstodoinkona #konatours #seasalt #hawaiianseasalt #bigislandtours #sustainability #luckywelivehawaii

Starting the day the Kona way with a little deep sea liquid magnesium ☀️ Why start your mornings with our liquid magnesium? While many health benefits are abound with magnesium, studies show having a couple drops in the morning aides in energy production, blood sugar regulation, and a healthy metabolism. Making sure your supplements are high quality and made from a reputable source can be frustrating and time consuming. To know where ours comes from, you need only to look at the ocean right off our farm. Now THAT’S a healthier, happier you 💪 . . . . . #konasaltfarm #seasaltsofhawaii #liquidmagnesium #magnesium #supplements #healthyliving #seasalt #deepseamagnesium #kona #hawaii #thingstodoinkona #saveourseas

Ipolani and our Deep Sea Cold Water Foot Soaks

Announcement from Nainoa Thompson of the Polynesian Voyaging Society on the decision to bring Hokulea back home in the wake of the Lahaina tragedy and also in concern of climate unpredictability, a heated ocean providing fuel for large storms. This is a pause and the Moananuiakea Voyage will eventually continue at a future time.
