Episode 45: About Our Guest

Sarah McElrea is a small business owner, mom, and lover of all things Jacksonville. She started her business Summa Salts during the pandemic after leaving her career as a teacher to be a stay-at-home mom. Sarah’s little seasoning idea exploded after being featured in magazines and debuting at local farmers markets and festivals. She spends her off days with her family exploring the springs of Florida, eating at local restaurants and drinking iced lattes at her favorite local coffee shops.
