Why can SALT JAR refillery sell off-island and non-food products?
The sales generated by the SALT JAR refillery subsidize the operations cost of running localsalt and the Tuesday Food Hub. In order to keep commissions low (10% is REALLY low) and accessible to our local food producers, package-free grocery essentials are sold alongside local food to make up the margin needed to run operations.
