Sea Love Sea Salt is happy to host hands-on educational field trips for schools, cooking clubs, gardening groups, scouts troops, corporate gatherings, family trips and other groups.

What is a field trip like? A visit at Sea Love includes the 3-T’s: Talk, Tour and Tasting. We begin with a TALK about the different types of salt, where they come from and their benefits/shortcomings. We then take a TOUR of our property, which includes a pond, wetland area, and multiple salthouses. We conclude with a TASTING of each of our culinary finishing salts.

Students then become farmers, rotating through a series of interactive stations where they help complete farm tasks such as tying shells to jars, labeling jars, harvesting salt, and pulling weeds. Skills students will practice include evaporation, gardening, health/cooking, fine motor skills, and cooperative learning.

We strive to take groups through an interactive, multi-sensory experience. Please let us know if there are topics or activities that you would like us to cover. We can offer information on the history of salt-making and we also provide salt art activities and storytelling.

When do field trips take place? Tours and field trips take place from September - October and March - May. Contact us through this website with some of your date options and we will get back to you as soon as we can check our calendars.

How much do field trips cost? In order to cover the cost of staff, materials and upkeep on the farm, groups are charged a small fee for trips to our farm. Prices are $10 per guest.

How do we pay for our trip? Before you check out in our online store, please contact us to check on your date. Once your date has been approved, you may check out online via credit card or bring a check with you day of.

How long does the field trip last? An average trip lasts 2-3 hours, depending if you choose to bring a bagged lunch.

Things to know:

• Our farm is rustic, we do not have a bathroom or running water. There are multiple fast food restaurants at the highway exit (5 minutes from farm), we suggest stopping there prior to/after your visit. Desperate measures call for desperate times and we do have 6 acres, so feel free to become one with nature.

• Field trips are able to take place rain/shine.

• Dress appropriately as in not your Sunday best... think sneakers, clothes that are comfy and could potentially get dirty.

• Things you can bring to help us at the farm (will not be returned): sea shells with holes.

• Other helpful items to bring (which will be returned): sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, water, snack, scissors and garden gloves.

• Bagged lunches are welcomed and permitted, but please plan to bring your trash home with you.

• Products are available for purchase via credit card, cash or check.
