The mountains and seas of Boryeong are the treasure trove of resources, and local specialties found only in this region are diverse and abundant. In the deep mountains, there is a soil that is said to be superior to that of China, and it produces high-quality inkstones and stone. In particular, the stone such as the tombstone of Ungcheon is recognized as the best stone not only in Korea, but also in Japan and Southeast Asia. The stone produced in Ungcheon is used as a material for various inscriptions and tombstones because of its black, glossy, and excellent material like crow's fur. The stone that is collected and ground in black stands out as time goes by, and when it is carved, white appears. In particular, the stone collected from the Seongju Mountain area is a special product of Boryeong, which has a reputation for being of the best quality in Korea. In addition to the stone, the blue stone that has a blue color and the sad light that is mainly used for religious gifts are also famous in Boryeong.

The inkstone, one of the scholar's civil servants, was as essential as today's computers. The Namposan inkstone was said to be the most precious of such scholars' essential inkstones. As recorded in the Journal of the Executive Economy of Seo Yoo-gu, a scholar of the Joseon Dynasty, Seokrakyeon, Geumsamunyeon, Eunsamunyeon, and Baekwoonjin Sangseokyeon are the best treasures among the Nampo stones excavated from Seongju Mountain in Nampo County. Many people wonder why the Boryeong area was called Nampo inkstone in the past because Nampo County was the famous inkstone from that time. The flower stone, which is the best quality among the Baekwoonjin Sangseokyeon, contains beautiful patterns on some of the inkstone stones, and the Namposan stone is of excellent quality enough to become the first-class inkstone with even a slight trimming of most natural stones. As the modern society enters, the use of inkstones is gradually decreasing, and 60-70% of the inkstones produced in Korea are made from Boryeong, so Boryeong claims to be the birthplace of the inkstone. In 1987, the Nampo inkstone production function was designated as the Intangible Cultural Property No. 6 of South Chungcheong Province.

Laver, which is called Haeui (衣) or Haitai (sea 苔) because it is like a rock suit on the beach, has a higher amount of digestion and absorption of nutrients than agricultural and livestock products, and is loved by many people's tables because it is easy to cook and tastes good. Laver, called 甘苔 and blue 苔, is widely distributed in the North Pacific Ocean. Laver was eaten in Alaska, anthropologists say. Indians received the salt needed for their human body from laver because they did not like to salt their food. The history of laver has also been very long in Korea, and the cultivation of laver in Korea began in the "Gyeongsangdoji", which was used in the 1420s from the mid-Joseon Dynasty, according to the oral tradition of Hadong, Gyeongsang Province, and about 280 years ago, an old woman ate laver while collecting clams in the Seomjingang River fishing area, and it was surprisingly delicious, so there is a story that the cultivation of laver began when she put bamboo in the water and artificially planted laver. In addition, Jeong Moon-ki recorded in a book titled "Seafood of Joseon", that the history of laver in Joseon originated from the discovery of laver in the phrase Bangryeom (防廉) in Wando, Jeollanam-do two hundred years ago, making and cultivated it. It is presumed to have been cultivated before that time, as it was recorded in as an indigenous product of Taein-do, Gwangyang-gun, Jeolla-do. In the 1600s, bamboo and oak branches were placed on tidal flats to grow laver attached to the branches. In the 1800s, a raft style was developed in which the feet were woven toward the bamboo side to fix one side to the floor and the other side to float on the water. In the 1920s, a flotation style was developed, which improved the flotation style, and this method is still used today to control laver to receive sunlight only for a certain period of time every day. Daecheon is also a representative seaweed production area in Korea, producing and selling a huge amount of laver a year.
