THE HALEN MÔN TEAM

We are a small yet strong team of twenty something people,  two Jack Russells called Bella and Gwen, and a chocolate labradoodle called Jolene, who can normally be found trying to snaffle somebody’s sandwiches.

We have been a family business since the very beginning, and Alison and David’s three children all work for the company in different ways. 

We think it is as important as it is reassuring to know that your food has been made by a real person, and pride ourselves on being an artisan business. Look on the bottom of any pouch or tube and you’ll find  the initials of the person who packed it for you. 

We hope to welcome you to our beautiful sea salt factory shop soon so you can try some of our Welsh sea salt for yourself.
