Well...I get it from a big barrel at my local supermarket. They get it from a salt company, and the salt company can get it in several ways.
They can mine it like any other mineral. When they mined salt by hand, it was very dangerous work - which is why prisoners under sentence of death were usually the ones to do it.
They can drill holes in a salt deposit, fill the holes with water, and continue to add water as it dissolves the salt deposit. It takes about a year to dissolve enough salt into the water to make recovering it commercially viable. After the salt water is strong enough, they pump it into a shallow pool, allow the water to evaporate, and scoop up the salt with a front end loader.
Or they can build the pool close to the ocean, pump seawater into it and allow that to evaporate.
