Store Profile: The Meadow
Mark Bitterman, owner of the Meadow and author of Salt, considers salt, wine, chocolate and flowers the essentials in life, that's why he sells these items at his store. Walking into this gem of a shop, on Mississippi Ave in NE Portland, is like being transported into a sensoral vortex. Once you're in there, it's hard to leave. The salts are unexpected and very pungent, flavored with things like cacao, lemon and Japanese plums. Then there's the bright bunches of flowers giving off a heady perfume. Finally, it's the chocolate bars and wine bottles, their packaging and promise of what's inside, that dazzle me into a headspin. This shop is fantastic for gifts, and you may end up with a few purchases for yourself. Oh hello lavender bitters, I must have you!

I swear the texture and consistency of this salt has changed since I first received as a gift several years ago. While still excellent in flavor, it is "chunkier" and moister now which takes away from its ease of sprinkling.
They have everything you could ever want as long as it’s salt or chocolate or helpful customer service. My experience here was delightful and I left with two gifts I know my loved ones will enjoy. I will be back.
I visited your store from Seattle about a year ago. I have since ordered gifts and salts and other products for me. This salt is my fav especially on popcorn and avocado salt.
A delightful bundle to give a friend as a token of appreciation. You can select different chocolates or go all in on one!
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!
