Rootbeer Bitters: our new flavor with American roots

Posted on by

Our latest herbal creation takes a distinct American flavor all the way back to its indigenous roots. Root beer was popularized in the 1800s as a sugary carbonated adaption of Native American root teas often made with sassafras, wintergreen, and different roots, bark and berries.

Root teas were used as medicine by Native Americans for everything from headaches to upset stomachs, some of the first remedies offered to sick colonists.

Half Hill Farm’s Rootbeer Bitters is made with all organic whole sarsaparilla, star anise, winter green, orange zest, birch bark, licorice root, fennel, wild cherry bark, ginger, cinnamon, and burdock root.

Just like its popular sister Dandelion Bitters, its flavor is made to calm and soothe an upset nation once again – available now in 2 oz and 6 oz bottles at the following locations:

DANDELION BITTERS: Our farm’s popular Dandelion Bitters is now available in a larger 6oz bottle!

Bitter flavor: Good digestion is at the heart of better health and well being, and it all starts with taste. Bitter flavor receptors begin on the back of the tongue and populate the entire digestive tract. Bitter flavors help awaken your body’s natural digestive processes by stimulating the liver to produce bile, the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes and the stomach to produce important acids. Stimulation of bitter receptors helps digest fat, reduces absorption of toxins, and helps the gut better absorb nutrients.

Half Hill Farm’s Dandelion Bitters is made with love in Woodbury, Tennessee with all certified organic dandelion leaf and root, orange peel, fennel seed, ginger and cardamom. Get a 2oz bottle with a dropper top or our new 6oz pour at the following locations:

This Valentine’s Day we’re sharing the love with a huge price drop on all our farm’s CBD hemp products! As the hemp industry matures and processing and hemp prices fall, we’re passing the savings on to customers as we promised while still using all the same quality ingredients and processes you expect from us.

Half Hill Farm is a natural health & wellness product maker founded in 2012 and was the first certified organic farm to grow hemp in Tennessee. We are now a licensed hemp grower, processor and permitted manufacturer producing quality full spectrum extract CBD hemp oil blends in 500mg, 1000mg, and 2500mg formulas and a 1000mg full spectrum CBD hemp topical salve as well as 500mg, 1000mg, and 2500mg 0% THC CBD oils.

Half Hill Farm partners with former tobacco farm to grow hemp

Half Hill Farm is now partnered with a former tobacco grower to produce premium indoor grown hemp flower. The new 5,000 square feet indoor grow space at Boze Farms in Carthage, TN should be fully operational later this year.

The indoor grow will provide bulk wholesale flower to stores and manufacturers including Half Hill Farm’s Wellness Emporium retail stores across the state. The new climate controlled facility will also supply their new CO2 extraction lab in Woodbury to ensure in-house quality controls from start to finished product.

“We know retailers and consumers have a lot of options on the market,” said Half Hill Farm owner Vince Oropesa. “That’s why we’re focused on providing a premium value with quality growing and processing that can scale to meet demand.”

Many hemp farmers and processors in Tennessee rely on solvent extraction that can process mass quantities of hemp at a time using ethanol or butane. Half Hill Farm’s new extraction and testing lab will use higher quality supercritical CO2 extraction. The slower process uses a few pounds of hemp at a time and will help ensure only the best hemp is extracted producing a better quality product option for consumers and manufacturers.

“We know we can’t CO2 extract everything,” said owner Scot Smotherman who heads up the partnership. “But there’s no shortage of good quality ethanol extraction service options for larger volume grows.”

Half Hill Farm was the first USDA certified organic farm in Tennessee to grow industrial hemp. We are now a licensed hemp grower, processor and permitted food manufacturer producing quality CO2 extracted CBD hemp oil blends in 500mg, 1000mg, and 2500mg formulas and a 1000mg full spectrum CBD hemp topical salve.

More than 2,900 grower licenses were issued to Tennessee farms by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture this year. For perspective, neighboring Kentucky is the nation’s third largest grower of hemp, and they issued 1,000 grower licenses this year.

The year round indoor grow and the ability to scale into several hundred thousand square feet elsewhere on the farm was a critical component in Half Hill Farm partnering with Boze Farm.

“Farming has taken a real beating over the past few years, “ said Joe Darren Boze. “We’re hoping hemp helps turns it around.”

Jimmy Joe Boze, Joe’s father, started growing hemp when his tobacco contract was suddenly pulled. He still proudly makes pre-rolls from last year’s harvest and humbly says he did it to see how it will go. While he’s hopeful, and sees how it helps people, he’s wary and still describes this year as ‘poking around to see what works.’

“This ain’t my first rodeo,” Jimmy Joe added with a wink and hint of good old farmer’s been-there-done-that attitude. “Let’s see what the boys can do with it.”
