Don’t Put the Blame on Maine, Boys
Call me a citified ignoramus, but I only recently discovered a couple of things I didn’t realize were produced and manufactured in the U.S.—both of which happen to come from the state of Maine: sea salt and seaweed. (Then again, my sister went to college in Waterville, ME, and she was none the wiser, either, though she’ll freely dish about the stuffed shirts down in Portland.)
Now there’s no reason, for me, at least, to procure sea salt hand-harvested from “pristine Atlantic seawater” off the froggy coast of Brittany or to stare wistfully at the dried seaweed imported all the way from Japan because of qualms against contributing to climate change.
Something else I wish Maine bottled up: its pine-scented fresh air. I was practically rolling around in it when I visited.

If you live in the U.K., Angelsey Sea Salt from Wales is U.K. Soil Association certified.
