You are hitting your stride, Becky. In case you ever question it, you have found your element. Excellent information and experience. Git it. Keep going. I look forward to your continued evolution. Your authenticity and enthusiasm are contagious. Amazing.
I couldn't have said it better myself, Becky is just terrific!
Amen❣
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Comments like this get me all teary. I love this community 😭 the comment section is literally never negative
@@bellaboopixi it's genuine. I am a librarian. I've watched as good and useful information has been buried under snark and nonsense, time and again. Becky is amazing and I am committed to supporting and growing substantive content makers. Your response makes me want to continue that. We have a genuinely talented group of young people, making really good stuff. We need to encourage and support them.
I love this new format and the reason behind it - you're right, it's important to better understand where our food comes from!
I also feel so sad that we polluted our seas so much to a point where microplastics could be found in marine salt 😢
It really is so sad. I love leaning too
@@AcreHomestead
Every day's an opportunity to learn something new ❣
Loved the tour❣
👍 So true!!
Loved this video so much! 👍
@@AcreHomestead I shared this video with another UA-camr and thought I would share their video on how to find a good Olive Oil here in the states. He's from Italy and wasn't happy with the deception of choices available to him. Enjoy! ... ua-cam.com/video/rbLLqUzgwNU/v-deo.html
Becky: * hugs pumpkin *
Me: * :') *
So wholesome! Gotta love it
Thank you!
I totally remember tearing up at that moment during that video. 😊
I'm just now seeing this video shortly after she announced her pregnancy. seeing Becky hug that pumpkin was the cutest!
Jess from roots and refuge gave you a shout out in her last video! Way to go girl!!!
That's how I found this lady and so far I really like her!
This video worked out perfect today! I homeschool my son and we learned about Booker T. Washington and how his family moved to work in salt mines after they were freed from slavery. He got to see inside a salt mine and I knew the video would be educational and clean without having to preview it first. I love all you content, but today your video was perfect for me!
That's so awesome @kimkelch3137!! 👏👏😉
You did a great job with this video Becky! Way more than just a tour of the Salt mine ❤ KUDOS
Wow thanks so much
Here in South Africa we get salt from the Kalahari desert. The salt plains in the Kalahari desert are beautiful! Might be worth looking up, not many know about it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures. xx
So interesting. This is something you will remember the rest of your life. Our family got to tour one of the Morton salt mines in Grand Saline Tx. about 60 years ago. We live not to far from the mine. The mine is still working but they no longer have tours. We went down in a battery operated elevator and all the lights and equipment, even the trucks were run on batteries. They had tunnels like what you were in but ours was solid white salt. They even let us bring home some of the pieces of the salt. Something most people don't know or think about is Morton's canning and pickling salt is pure salt with no additives.
That’s awesome! I would have loved to take the tour. My family has used Morton’s brand for years and we continue today.
You did such a wonderful job with this i can see the hard work you put into this from start to finish
Thanks for sharing 💚
Thank you! Cheers!
Becky my friend this is one of your BEST VIDEOS..Very interesting information and your picture and sound came in great 5 x 5 ...

There are so many great things about Becky, Josh and Acre Homestead. I have Redmond salt because of Becky. Now, learning about the salt is just more great information I’m finding out about. The community she has built here is like no other. There are always good people and great conversations in the comment section. I don’t think I’ve seen any negativity. I feel almost protective over this channel and might have to clap back if somebody steps out of line with my friends. 🙅🏻♀️🤭🛑♥️
Good morning Becky! Thank you for this information on the Redmond Real Salt. I’ve been using Redmond for about 1 year now. I found out about Redmond Real Salt, when I started eating clean. I love sprinkling salt 🧂 on my watermelon 🍉. It brings out the natural sweetness. 🙏💛🇺🇸😋
You are so welcome! That sounds so good!
I was using Sea Salt. Then moved to pink Himalayan salt. Finally moved to Redmonds. I love the fact it is from the USA. Also was worried about the work environment and ecological affects of the Himalayan salt.
I love the taste and find no problems using it with all the minerals in it. Also love the fact it has the minerals and is in it’s pure form.
Thank you Becky for the tour.
This was a very interesting video, for really having the history around salt. This is the reason I started watching your videos. You take so much pride about what you put on the table. I see your vision and I love learning about the history about food but I love how you want to do it and if you can do more videos like this for a more ethical way and so on. This is bringing me some Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain vibes( I have more but can't remember their names) but obviously your version of course. This was really fun to watch! ❤
Two things I love to watch are how any kind of food gets from the source to our table. Cranberry farming and bee keeping and food prepping are things I could watch every day. The other thing I love to watch is construction. Watching a load of lumber become a building can fill my day.
I just saw Jess of Roots and Refuge mention you in her latest vlog! I love it when my homesteaders approve of my other homesteaders. I love you girls!! ❤️
Fantastic video Becky! Great to see the wonderful history of a homegrown company can be brought to people via your UA-cam channel. Also for you to be able to promote the huge benefits of salt for such a wide range of sectors in industry and for home use. People reject salt all the time but forget the use and need as a vital mineral for a healthy body. Well done again 👍😊
This was amazing!! Thank u for filming this. I shared it with my grandkids. They are home schooled and I think this is a great science and history lesson for them to build on!!
I used to use Redmans Real Salt years ago but found it to be a little gritty because of all the minerals. If you were the one unlucky enough to get the last bowl of soup from the soup pot you got all the grit from the salt. It was for only that reason that I stopped using it. However, seeing your tour has motivated me to give it another try. I love that it’s local and I love their practices. Thanks Becky!
Could it be possible to use a coffee grinder and grind the salt a little finer? I'm considering buying this because of all the extra minerals. They are so good for our bodies. Thank you for the information and thank you Becky for the video.
I wonder if putting the salt into a tea strainer so that what dissolves goes into the soup and the remainder that hasn’t dissolved could then be discarded? Just a thought to avoid the issue you brought up.
I tried this salt about 10 years ago and found it to be too gritty also. I will try it one more time and see if it's changed.
The video was very interesting
I use a mortar and pestle to grind it up
@@Lakirk2023 M's Kirk , if you have family members or friends that use Redmond's salt , you could ask them if they would grind some to see if it come out fine . Just a suggestion . 🦋 Blessings 🦋
Yay! I'm happy to see the pumpkin again 😍
I love that darn pumpkin!!
Me too!
I have used Redmond Real Salt for years and absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing your tour of their facility; it was wonderful to see where my salt comes from.
We LOVE Redmond Salt and have used it for years. Thank you for the education of its history and making.
I grew up in Tooele County not too far from there and have been using Redmond salt for 20+ years. I LOVE that this company is getting so much well deserved attention! Thanks for taking us along with you on the tour!
Well, what can I say... its already been said...! You are so natural with "your tour"! Your presentation of the information was brilliant, congratulations!!!
You have come so far and your journey has barely begun... I'm so blessed to have found you. You are such a gift! We are all lucky to find you. I thank you for being such a warm, fun, honest blessed gift to us all. I look forward to our next treat.
( I'm having problems with notifications, I get them 1 to 2 days later. That's why I'm late posting). Take care, keep safe.
Love, peace, truth and light.

Fantastic job on this video, Becky. Very informative. You did Redmond Salt proud.
Wow thanks Heather! It was a hard video to edit!
I just found your channel! I grew up in Syracuse Ny. Which is famous for SALT MINES!!! Our main street..is called "Salina st". Our mines were worked by Irish and Italian workers. One of the foods Syracuse is famous for, are called "Salt Potatoes". The Irish workers wives would pack small potatoes, and chunks of butter in their lunchesAt the mine, they would fill a cauldron with water, take a hunk of salt from the mine, boil the potatoes in the heavily salted water..and melt the butter to dip them in. It is a GREAT WAY to use up small potatoes...they are so good
Real Salt is a great product. I am a Utah native, but have never taken a tour of this facility. I will have to change that. I ran across one of your videos a few months ago, and have really enjoyed your content. Thanks for sharing your life and your ideas.
More field trips, more field trips! I miss those elementary school days with the educational trips. Thank you for sharing and I'm loving the new editing style 😉👌🏽
Field trips were our FAVORITE part of being a homeschool family! Susan, Becky’s Mom.
I have lived in Salt Lake ALL MY life and I have NEVER thought about or gone to Redmond, Utah. (I googled it, it is 2.6 miles away from my house.) Thanks for the tour.
I grew up Hutchinson, KS. They produce a lot of table salt. It wasn't until I left for college that they sank a new shaft and opened the salt mine up for visits. My parents went down in the mine when they were kids through school. One of these weekends I want to go home and take a tour. They store all the old movie reels down there. When I went looking for my old medical records it took a while to get them because, they had to send someone down into the mine where they store records and other items to go get them. Pretty cool trip!
Interesting video, Becky! Very informative.
Fun fact: Did you know that mixing salt in with the water of cut flowers in a vase will help the flowers live longer.
YAY!! Good morning!!
Good to know
Thank you❣ How much salt per cup of water? Thank you again. I wish I knew this a long time ago. I always used crushed asprin or the packet the florist put with the flowers 💐.
We always put an aspirin tablet in ours.
@@oldstuffbethtx8052 good to know!!
I've been so bad at gardening in my tiny back yard, but my dream is to one day live on an acreage and grow more. I also live in a very cold zone. Last garden season I wanted to grow sugar pumpkins and everyone said it can't be done here and I managed to get one sugar pumpkin! I had to pick it green and then it ripened in the house but I was so proud too!
OMG. I just watched Jess from Roots and Refuge totally spend minutes praising you in one of her latest videos!!! She’s a fan too!!!
You are such a breathe of fresh air. U get excited about what u grow. I totally enjoy to watch. U also have shown me several thing with my gardening. Keep having fun
Thank you so much!
Salt is so, so important! Especially for me, as I have a chronic illness (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) that requires me to consume a lot of salt. It's like medicine to me! I put it in my water, and salt my food liberally.
Because of your posts, I have made a gazillion purchases from new and exciting businesses. Thanks for the continued learning experineces.
I have taken salt for granted. It's very interesting to learn where it comes from.
Just ordered some! This is the push I needed. I love your perspective. (I also loved seeing Jess soward give you a shout out!!)
2👍🏼👍🏼Thumbs up for highlighting my state of #Utah & Redmond Salt, which I've been using for years! Love their Raw Milk, Toothpaste & other products!
That was really cool! Some of my ancestors were coal miners, and my dad worked in a limestone quarry for over 20 years. Thanks for sharing your tour! :)
My great uncle worked in a talk mine upstate New York
The fumes from the machinery gas or diesel powered exhaust is actually adding pollutants in the under ground tunnels as they harvest the salt
I wondered about that also.
Love anything made or produced in USA......Keep up the excellent videos. You are educating us with every one!
I am from Utah 30 minutes from Redmond Utah where the salt is mined. It is amazing.
Great job Becky! My 6 year old son and I watched this video together! He LOVED it, so informative!
My mom used Revere Ware for years. When she passed I got most of her cooking pots which included her Revere Ware. I love it. It's easily cleaned if I scorch something. one thing I always cook with is my cast iron skillet. Once seasoned properly, it is non-stick. Again I inherited mine from my mother. I make cornbread, fry meats, make drop biscuits, and a whole bunch of other stuff. You don't have to clean it much. I have my dad's filet knife I use to filet meats and fish. One thing I'm very careful with is my mom's candy thermometer. It contains mercury in the bulb and I watch it like a hawk and treat it like a fragile egg BUT it is more accurate than the modern candy thermometers.
Becky you totally have a teacher voice in this video, love seeing where the salt comes from
Wow! The engineering of that mine is mind blowing!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Great Video!
Thank you for sharing your tour with us! It’s so great to see a company that uses natural resources.
Thank you!
Loved this videos learning where our salt comes from.
When my hubby was going out there with his semi, we would go past Redmond but didn't think they were in business anymore...wow, very interesting...gonna order mine!!!
Becky, thanks tour and for the great to know info. Made in the USA🇺🇲
Thank you Becky for the education. "Knowledge is power."
I left you a vm. Linda
Ive wanted to try Redmond salt so now I must. Thank you. FYI our son lives in Croatia by a very very old sea salt natural mine and their sea salt is also very good.
Becky, congratulations your channel is growing so much so quickly. That's because you go above and beyond for us. You take the time to show, explain AND you actually do research to provide all the information to us. You are amazing and I really want you to know that you are truly appreciate. Your channel growing so much so quickly is a sign of how great everyone thinks you are 🥰❣and how thankful we are for everything you do.
Thank you!
Salt will never go out of style! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. That looks like really good salt!
This was so educational and exciting, love the voice over.. will show my grandchild
Salt mines are so unique back in the 80s when my husband was in the military we visited a salt mine in Germany it was really unique
What a wonderful opportunity! Thank you for sharing Becky.
Fun!!! Redmond is the only salt we use in our home.
Born and raised in Utah and we love our Real salt. We buy the big 25 (or 30 I can't remember) bag and have it stored for us to always have available
Wow!!! Thank you so much Becky for this amazing video and this valuable information on🧂👍🏻
wow...i just found this channel showing my where salt comes from, you are amazing!
Received my first 10lb bucket yesterday! Thank you for introducing us to the real deal!
Thank you for this tour. I could never have made this tour except for you, because I am severely claustrophobic. I could not go under ground. I have enough trouble breathing in a small closet.
That was wonderful!
If you ever want to visit the knife sharpener for a view on how the Patron Saint sharpens your knives, let me know!
With how much I use my knives, I could probably use another sharpening soon!
@@AcreHomestead I’d be honored!
@@AcreHomestead Are you using a steel? If not, I’ll show you, keep those knives amazing!
Absolutely incredible! Thanks so much for sharing! I can't wait to try it!! And no plastic or pollutants since it was buried underground so long ago 🙏
You are so welcome!
Thank you. Fascinating! Know about Redmond for animals but not people. I had changed from Redmond to Himalayan salt for my horses. Plan to start Redmond for them and me. Love your videos!!!
That is so interesting and important what for a salt we use. Jessica K Norris said in one of her last videos that she will also make a video about the salt mines in Utah (with Homesteading Family). I live in switzerland and don't know if I can order the Utah salt here. but i will try to find a better salt from our region as well. Thank for all the good tipps and all the best for everyone that has read my comment.
Thank you for this video. I switched from Himalayan pink salt to Redmond several years ago. I still have Pink salt in storage but I really like this Redmond salt. Thank you Heidi at Rain Country. However I still had questions and I'm happy to say your video makes me feel comfortable about my choice and I now feel free to buy it in bulk for my pantry storage.
Thank you for taking us along with you and showing us where the salt is mined. I have to agree I think I would rather have it out from under the ground as opposed to having it evaporated from water that has had no telling what in it. Once again, thank you for all the work you do to bring these videos to us. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
So cool you got to be in Utah! I live in Utah salt lake area. I love Redmond salt 😊 Thanks for encouraging me to be a better gardener. It’s so cool to see your own produce!
Oh wow! And I can buy it locally, too ... no shipping needed! Thank you for sharing! 💕
Wow Becky thank you for that wonderful salt mine tour that was fascinating.
I started using Redmond real salt because of your info a few months ago. I love it
Very cool!!! Thank you for doing this!!! As soon as all of my household salt is depleted, I will be getting Redmond’s salt. I love this!!! 🧂💙💙💙
I watched part one of your trip then shortly after ordered some of the Redmond Real Salt for me and for a few Christmas gifts. I like that it’s mined in the USA as well as being a family owned business. Thanks for the great tour. 😊
Oh my, I loved this video. I didn't want it to end. Great job Becky!!!!!
Great upload. Really appreciate the extra Geology homework you did in preparing this information.
This was really nice seeing the whole operation. Thank you!
This is absolutely amazing! Salt mines... Wow! I just post a link to your channel this Morning during my Monday Morning Garden Chat and told my Subscriber how amazing your channel is. This community is the best. I'm definitely going to share this out. Now I need to visit so I can lick the wall🤣 Thanks again for being so great SoilSista 👩🏾🌾🙏🏾👨🏿🌾
Thank you for sharing Becky! I can't wait to show my husband this video. 💕🌲
I have been using Redmond salt for years. Now I know how it comes to be on my table. Thanks for the information.
I enjoyed seeing this tour, it is nice to see where our food comes from. I love Redmond's I order it in the 10lb bucket.
You did an excellent job with this video, Becky. I’ve been looking forward to it since you started talking about learning about salt, and you didn’t disappoint.
Good job Becky
It's always such a treat and surprise when your videos are posted! I love that you're not on a schedule! Thank you for everything and best wishes. 💕💕
Thank you!
I’ve been using Redmond Real salt for years! Thank you for sharing your tour, how spectacular 😊
I love field trips!! I had no idea about any of this!! Thanks for taking me!!
I ordered some salt after your first video about the company!!! Haven't gotten it yet, but looking forward to it. I used to use pink salt, but once I learned, from you, about the labor practices, I decided I can't support them anymore! Thanks for always sharing what you learn!
Thanks for the tour- fun to see where my Salt comes from- I order it in 10 pound buckets 😊
I got emotional about growing my pumpkins too :). Fascinating about the sea salt.
You know how you got emotional some videos back while you were picking your pumpkins? I feel this way during every one of your videos!
Thank you, sweet Becky. Wow, what an eye-opening experience. Thank you for sharing.
We have been using Redmond Real Salt exclusively for several years. My husband was recently diagnosed with low iodine. Apparently, the iodine in Redmond Real Salt is in trace amounts. That seems to be true of all sea salt. We are still using Redmond Real Salt, but we've added in iodine-rich foods. Cod is one of the highest.
Dr.Ken Berry, on UA-cam recommended this salt & I bought some. Shaker + sampler + salt rocks.
Amazing, and thanks so much for taking us along!
(P. S. I shared with all the Vancouver locals on Facebook)
😘👍
I am so happy you shared this with us! Thank you so much. Making the switch today from pink Himalayan to Redmond real salt.
Greetings from East Texas! This was an absolutely fascinating video Becky! Thank you for the great Educational information!
Love this! Definitely switching salts after learning about the differences!
Love this. Do more of these. One suggestion. Idaho Potatoes. They grow in volcano ashes soil. I only buy these Potatoes.
This was fantastic Becky! Thank you!
That pumpkin is beautiful!
