IT STARTS WITH 4-MILLION-YEAR-OLD SALT
We wanted to share a little more about the origins of our Salina Crystal Salt, the base for the savory salt blend.
Hundreds of feet under the streets of Syracuse, New York, lies a massive salt deposit that’s over four million years old and left behind by an ancient ocean. Father–daughter duo David and Libby of Syracuse Salt Company pump salt water from this aquifer below the surface to make our exceptional Salina Crystal Salt.
Historically, Syracuse has been an epicenter of salt production; in the 1800s it was known as the “Salt City.” Salt was harvested from the natural salt springs that flowed into Onondaga Lake, and it was said that the streets were paved with salt. Flash forward two centuries to David digging 300 feet down, crossing his fingers, and pulling up pristine water that was 13% salt — that’s three times the salinity of ocean water. Syracuse Salt Company was born.
Once the salt water is pulled from the ground, David and Libby gently evaporate the water to form crunchy cubic towers. Then the salt is scooped by hand, laid out on trays to dry and carefully sifted to preserve its crystalline structure and crunchy texture. This is a big departure from how mineral salt is typically mined, with heavy industrial machinery and little attention given to preserving the salt shape.

I did… just where did you think salt potatoes came from?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_potatoes
you should pick up a bag of hinerwadels today.
fact.
I thought it was widely known. Must be a CNY thing.
What, exactly, are we looking at there?
Keep in mind I’m a slut for carnival type foods.

Salt potatoes? Did we just identify another upstate thing? Cause if so ... FKNA!
fuckin' tater heaven is what you see there. you really never had? can't rightly have a proper upstate clambake, fireman's field days or a decent county fair without 'em.
lots and lots of 'em...
fact.
you should make some for your next southern football tailgatin' type 'o shinding. folks will love 'em, they go great with lots of beer. secret is finding teh smallest taters possible. should be able to pop a whole one in yer mouth.
News you can use right here.
Lifetime of clambakes on the North Coast, but never in my life have we had salt potatoes. That’s not a bad thing mind you. Our Clambakes bake the potatoes in the stack so this separate tater may not work.
That said, these sound like a fucking desert. In.

Those salt potatoes are great BUT they're heart attack inducing. Just so ya know![]()
I know this has been covered, but search function failing me.
Looking for bootfitter to align my 7 yo son's boots and make orthotics. Seriously knock kneed (genu valgum.) Looking for in the upstates area (within 2 hour of Lake George, for example) with knowledge of aligning young kids.
I'm guessing orthotics and medial sole canting. Challenge is that placing a medial cant shim under right boot prevented right knee from internal rotating with flexion.

GMOL at the access road entrance to Stratton would be in your 2hr radius from Lac Jorge.

High Peaks in Lake Placid has a great bootfitter
I don't want to start anything here, but I wonder where the salt potato borders are--because I lived in the eastern and western part of Upstate and never heard of them. Or the salt mines.

The whole Great Lakes region is littered with salt, above ground and under it. Fun fact, Cargill has a massive salt mine under Lake Erie that goes from Cleveland's lakefront and miles in every direction.
That said, I've never heard of salt potatoes either, but I am intrigued.

We know bout dem in the ROC. It's a staple in my cousin's catering business too. Pounds of butter. Lots of salt. Legit.

Could you imagine a dinner of pierogis and salt potatoes?
