About Us

Welcome to The Salt Horse, a specialty grocery store rooted in Laguna Beach, California. We believe in nurturing true connections to the foods we eat and the stories behind them. Inspired by nearly a decade of teaching edible school gardening and farm to table cooking, founder Samantha Breit created a space where local farmers, small-batch makers, and mindful consumers come together.

At The Salt Horse, we prioritize sustainable, organic, and seasonal produce, hand-curated from California family farms and small food producers nationwide. Our market is more than a store—it’s a sensory and educational experience where customers discover one-of-a-kind artisan goods, free from big-box conformity.

We’re committed to creating a more sustainable food system, fostering community, and celebrating connection, culture, and family traditions. From farmers market freshness to thoughtfully curated gift baskets, we bring the best of local and specialty foods directly to your table.

Join us in supporting a better food future, one purchase at a time.
