A chalkboard sign hangs behind the counter at Seed N Salt. Each day it provides a new piece of inspiration – a new seed planted in the minds of those placing orders. “What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?” Edible plants and herbs grow on the street-facing patio and floor to ceiling windows light the dining area. Health-conscious diners fill small tables, bar stools or communal benches. The slogans, the mottos and the endless smiles combine to establish the atmosphere of Seed N Salt, a popular Mission eatery offering salads, bowls and other healthy offerings.
Everything comes from a seed – that's the premise of Seed N Salt. “It’s the start of someone’s dream. It’s the start of a new beginning. It’s the start of when that farmer decided this would be the livelihood for his family,” says co-owner Melodie-Joy Miller. The "salt" part of the name is inspired by hard work and commitment – the sweat and the challenge it takes to grow a seed. “We often say this has taken a lot of salt," Melodie-Joy chuckles.
