Big News!

I am very happy to announce that Salt & Time will be debuting at the HOPE Farmers Market on Sunday, July 4th. Its been a long time coming, and, frankly we can't wait! We will be selling all of our varieties of salumi, our pickled fennel and, in honor of the holiday, Hot Dogs (made from Richardson Farms Pork and 100% Grassfed Beef from Naturally Dolce Farms). We have a few other tricks up our sleeve as well, so make sure you come by and see us.

We are also excited to be returning to the Victory Grill for another Nourishing the Soul event on Friday, June 25th. The last event was a bunch of fun, and thanks in large part to help from my friend Chef Kenny Gray, a success. (Also instrumental in making it a success were my wife and my Dad and Erin from Wildflour Bakery and her mom. Families rule.) Kenny and I are working on the menu and will be announcing it soon. Hope to see you there.
