Turkey Tail mushroom extract and quality of life for dogs with cancer

Posted on by

Our every day work is a mission to bring hope and healing into the world. We know the science behind what we do, but it’s the “why” part that gets to the deeper purpose and meaning of our work. When we ask what good we can do with our time and talents, we are answered by your heartfelt letters. 

Our almost 12 year old golden girl, Serenity, was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma of the spleen on Nov. 20, 2018. I was told that we only had a few days left, that is was aggressive, and there was nothing we could do. However, through some research and desperation I came across a study from Penn State in which they had used Turkey Tail mushroom extract on dogs with the same cancer as Serenity’s. After further searching I came across your farm and Turkey Tail product. Fast forward to today and we just received our 2nd order of Turkey Tail extract. We’ve been putting it in Serenity’s food twice a day. She is maintaining, has a great appetite, wants to play and run, and goes on walks several times a day. So, we are feeling thankful that we found your product as well as extremely blessed to still have our Serenity with us and living what we would call a good quality of life. We thought you might enjoy hearing our experience/story.
Sincerely,
Rhonda & Bruce Arney

Serenity’s story is a very common one for us, each with a unique character and name forever etched on the hearts of families who care for them. What we often find with customers who use our Turkey Tail mushroom dual extract for their dogs is improved quality of life and life beyond expectation (months to a year longer than prognosis). The results shared by people fighting cancer are even more remarkable (read reviews).

Turkey Tail mushrooms aren’t a cure for cancer, but your experiences with our product over the past few years have helped validate the growing body of science behind it and opened our eyes to the power of nature to help us rise to any health challenge.

Full spectrum CBD hemp salve for topical use

We are so happy to introduce our farm’s first full spectrum extract CBD hemp topical salve! Each 1 oz ultraviolet glass jar contains all organic sweet almond oil, calendula infused extra virgin olive oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil extracted from sunflower seeds, frankincense and sweet orange essential oils in natural beeswax and 1000 mg full spectrum extract CBD hemp oil.

Most of what we make starts as a natural remedy for ourselves. When our farm started growing hemp organically in 2014, this is one of the products I couldn’t wait to make. As someone who suffers from life-long psoriasis, I understand the desire for a natural healing that works following misdiagnosis and failed recommendations.

I use our 1000mg full spectrum CBD topical salve almost everyday. After months of formulating and testing, we now make it for you with love in our FDA registered and state permitted manufacturing facility in Woodbury.

Here are some links on topical uses of CBD:

Where to find our full spectrum CBD salve: You can purchase our farm’s CBD hemp salve through our online store or at our retail stores listed below and other stores listed here. If you would like to carry our CBD products in your store, sign up for a wholesale account here.

GRAND OPENING: Half Hill Farm opens Wellness Emporium in Woodbury

Half Hill Farm’s new location at 110 West High Street is now open to the public. The Wellness Emporium is next door to DTC and features kombucha, tonics and extracts made with love on site as well as other natural health and wellness products.

Grand Opening: The public is invited to enjoy free samples of komchuca and meet the owners and staff at a grand opening ribbon-cutting of the Wellness Emporium with the Cannon County Chamber of Commerce Friday Nov. 9, 2018 at 10 am.

It means a lot to us to have a permanent home here in Woodbury. We want to thank Tommy and Linda Malone for this opportunity. We wouldn’t be here without the opportunity to grow our business at the Arts Center over the past three years and for them thinking outside the box with us and letting us share the space to make that possible. It feels like forever ago that we were a 6 foot table of organic vegetables at the farmers market next door!

Earlier this year we partnered with Manchester’s Scot Smotherman to expand retail with the Wellness Emporium, a second store location in the heart of Bell Buckle, TN. We truly believed if it failed we could always offer services installing taps and walk-in coolers!

With Bell Buckle doing well, growing demand quickly led to the need for bigger manufacturing space. We were running out of product and turning away a lot of wholesale requests. High Street was the right place at the right time.

High Street: Half Hill Farm is expanding our craft fermented food and beverage manufacturing in the back part of the High Street location off the square. This includes kombucha and kefir, popular probiotic fermented beverages we lightly flavor with organic herbs and juices and bottle as a fizzy soda alternative. We will also continue expanding extracts and hemp oil products to include infused food and beverage and partner with MTSU’s Fermentation Science program for shared learning and resource opportunities.

We are proud of the work our team does to bring better health and well being to our community. Come visit us!

The Wellness Emporium is open seven days a week with several flavors of Half Hill Farm’s kombucha on tap and available by the cup, bottle or growler refills. Follow us on Facebook.

Stories of healing: how CBD hemp oil has changed lives in Tennessee

Posted on by

In the time since industrial hemp was legalized in Tennessee, over 1,000 Tennesseans have died from opioid use. The problem is so bad all over the country that it has been declared a national emergency by the federal government.

Some politicians funded by pharmaceutical contributions – like Tennessee’s Rep. Marsha Blackburn – have made the problem worse by removing the DEA’s authority to stop the flow of opioids into our communities. Now that the public knows which politicians are getting paid to keep the pills flowing, these same politicians are misusing state agencies as cover to focus the public’s attention instead on the purported dangers of hemp.

While some politicians use our tax dollars on behalf of pharmaceutical companies to convince us God’s creation is the problem, the fact remains that there have been zero deaths from the use of CBD extracts from industrial hemp in Tennessee. You can thank God for that, but there is something else you can do to protect our access to this natural gift.

Help us share stories of healing: We’ve seen veterans, farmers, pastors, police officers, teachers, family and people of all walks of life find healing using CBD. How has CBD affected your health? Please share your story here in comments and give a voice to hope and healing across the state of Tennessee!

UPDATE 10-12-18: Our friends at Green Door Gourmet in Nashville have been busy over the past few weeks harvesting over 70 lbs. of organic muscadine for us, so we’ve kept it on tap – looks like at least another solid week!

Half Hill Farm’s full spectrum extract CBD hemp oil

Our farm has witnessed first hand from customers the healing power of cannabis. We’ve seen veterans get off years of pain pills. We’ve seen parents buried under a decade of opiod management come off their drugs and wake up to a family at home. We’ve seen people come off powerful anti-inflammatory drugs. We’ve seen people with fibromyalgia or other chronic pain finally find the relief they’ve been seeking all their life.

We’ve seen lives changed forever using CBD as an alternative natural remedy, and we believe we are seeing the beginning of a revolution in health care.

At the same time, we’ve seen elected officials foment confusion over legal use of industrial hemp and politicians intentionally create a policy driven national emergency that kills three Tennesseans a day - all to keep their opioid and private prison industry patrons fat and happy.

Making and bringing healing hemp products to market has always been on the horizon for our farm. Half Hill Farm was the first certified organic grower of industrial hemp in the state of Tennessee. We helped change state law to bring the promising health benefits of CBD to the people. We are now on the manufacturing side proudly producing quality CBD hemp oil extract blends in 500mg and 1,000mg formulas.

Half Hill Farm uses organically grown domestic industrial hemp from Kentucky that goes through CO2 extraction and then is formulated and blended in our FDA registered facility in Woodbury, Tennessee. We do not sell private labeled product. Our CBD hemp oil products contain up to 0.3% THC. Each batch is tested by third-party independent labs to ensure quality and compliance.
