The Meadow specializes in flowers, gourmet finishing salts, artisan made chocolates and a great selection of unusual fine wines which pretty much covers the very best things in life. Thanks to Jennifer's well trained eye, (her credentials include working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty, the Frick Collection and director of a major Art Gallery in Portland) the shop has a great look with loads of character. The interior fittings have been made from thick slabs of hemlock and yellow pine reclaimed from old barn timbers milled in the late 1800's The weathered looking exposed bricks were apparently covered by several layers of plaster so had not seen the light of day for many decades. Beautiful blooms including peonys (my favourite) are displayed on a long table in the centre of the store.

A friend shared one of the most beautiful items on earth, The Meadow's Black Truffle Sea Salt, with me last year and I now I can't live without it! It's forever a kitchen staple and one of my most treasured joys. 11/10 Recommend!
I was happily shocked by the intensity of flavor in this one. Avocado? Amazing. Eggs? Hell yes. A time bit atop cottage cheese? Yup. I just keep finding things to add it to and haven't found one that I didn't love yet.
This product is "Technically" not a scam in the sense that the dimensions for ONE specific item is listed in the description, not only is the picture on the site intentionally using a much smaller box in the pic to make it look bigger, in addition it took 2 weeks until it even shipped. You could say that's my fault for not reading the fine print, but what isn't my fault is the description describing the Kala Namak which is most of the reason I bought this as a 1-3 lbs chunk of salt, what I received was a 8oz box of little pieces, half of the lowest estimates given for it. I would NEVER have bought this product as anything they give you could be picked up from Walmart for 20$. Considering cancelling my 1yr club subscription, I really don't want to but if it all ends up like this then I never would have payed for it, they haven't even sent this months box yet and it's 10 days after the given date. Standard sized pen for reference. The only reason I give it 2 stars and not 1 is because it is my fault for just taking this site at face value.
A house guest gifted us a box of this recently after visiting Portland. I had some purple sourdough and just made a new batch because this was past its prime. I made croutons and dusted them with Bitterman's Parmesan Truffle Salt. Ooooh Mommy! This stuff is the bomb! I hope my guests come to visit again soon on their way back from Portland.
