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

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.

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.

Want to retail our products in your store? Sign up for a wholesale account here. You can purchase our farm’s CBD Hemp Oil and other CBD products through our online store or at Wellness Emporium of Woodbury, TN (110 W High Street. Woodbury, TN 37190) or the Wellness Emporium of Bell Buckle, TN (13 Webb Rd. E, Bell Buckle, TN 37020).

Half Hill Farm expands to new Woodbury location

(Woodbury, TN) – Half Hill Farm is moving into the building next to DTC on High Street in Woodbury. The kombucha and extract maker purchased the 3,600 square feet building with plans to expand manufacturing and retail.

The High Street location will feature a kombucha tap and tasting room with growler refills, products made by the farm, hand crafted gifts and products that promote better health and well being.

“We are so excited to keep growing in Woodbury,” said co-owner Christian Grantham. “We’re grateful the Arts Center gave our farm an opportunity to grow and for the community helping us find a home right off the square.”

Half Hill Farm is currently in the third year of a shared lease at the Arts Center of Cannon County where they make and bottle kombucha, botanical extracts, apple cider vinegar tonics, tinctures, teas and more. They will officially open on High Street when the lease with the Arts Center is up at the end of the year.

“Customers can still get our kombucha on tap at the Arts Center all year,” said co-owner Vince Oropesa. Arts Center location visitors can also try Half Hill Farm’s new herbal tea-based energy shots and other products coming out later this year.

Stop by I’ll Be Back at 110 W. High Street all the month of May for great deals on Amish made goods and retail displays!

Since opening retail and manufacturing at the Arts Center in 2016, Half Hill Farm launched several new products proudly made here in Woodbury. The most popular is kombucha, a fermented, fizzy health beverage available in different flavors by the bottle, growler or keg.

Half Hill Farm opened a second retail store in Bell Buckle, TN (Wellness Emporium) earlier this year. The company partnered with Manchester native Scot Smotherman to help make the expansion happen. Smotherman will manage Half Hill Farm’s business development and growth.

You can find Half Hill Farm’s products at their stores in Woodbury and Bell Buckle, Harvest Local Foods in Manchester and The Turnip Truck in Nashville.
