Neal Bosshardt was born and raised in Redmond, Utah.  He graduated from Snow College in Ephraim, Utah and then from Brigham Young University with a degree in Business Management.  He returned to Redmond to work in the family business in 1974 when he was one of 6 employees (5 of those were family members), and worked there until he retired in 2018.  He worked in every aspect of the business from mining, packaging, to marketing.  He was involved with all of the products from table salt to livestock salt to de-icing salt and helped expand their markets from strictly the western states to be the entire United States, as well as Canada, New Zealand, and Japan.

His passion is teaching people the medicinal benefits of unrefined salt and natural clay.  Here is his comment as to why he teaches classes even after retiring:

“Natural Clay and Unrefined Salt kept us out of the emergency room, the Doctor’s office, and drug store so many times over the years that I feel badly for parents and grandparents who don’t have these natural products or know how to use them.

He and his wife, Marcia, have 8 children and 28 grandchildren.  When not teaching classes on natural salt and clay, he enjoys making sauerkraut, compost, working in the garden and spending time with family.
