Salt & Soil Marketplace connects Southeast Alaska food consumers, with growers, fishermen, foragers, and gardeners through a community marketplace that merges the best of online and real-time shopping.

The Marketplace helps support local economies, keeps food dollars within our region and provides high quality local foods to our neighbors, helping Southeast Alaska be more sustainable, resilient, and prosperous.

The Marketplace was initiated under the Southeast Alaska Watershed Coalition and in partnership with Takshanuk Watershed Council, Spruce Root Economic Development, and the Sustainable Southeast Partnership in 2017.

Today, the Salt & Soil Marketplace is a project of Ecotrust, a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit and member of the Sustainable Southeast Partnership, that has worked at the intersection of equity, economy, and the environment for the past 30 years.

The Salt & Soil Marketplace operations and policy decisions are made in partnership between project managers, Ecotrust, and a local Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee is made up of farmers, fishers, customers, producers, and leaders from regional organizations and provide input and direction that informs the Marketplace’s development.

Salt and Soil Marketplace and its vendors are on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian Peoples. We recognize the deep ways of knowing and relationships with local foods held by the Indigenous Peoples of this region and are grateful for their stewardship of these lands and waters since time immemorial and today.

Gunalchéesh, Haw’aa, Nt’oyaxsn, Thank You.
