The Blackberry Kombucha is back! This is our second year making this farm-foraged taste of Summer, and this year is better than ever with a huge local harvest of blackberries from our neighbor Thomas Howell.
Stop in and get a cup or growler on tap while it lasts at Wellness Emporium of Woodbury, TN (110 W High Street. Woodbury, TN 37190) and the Wellness Emporium of Bell Buckle, TN (13 Webb Rd. E, Bell Buckle, TN 37020).
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.

Yes, you can give CBD to your dog or cat! Dogs and cats have the same cannabinoid receptors as humans in their brain and nervous system. That’s why we give CBD to our two 12 year old dogs (one is pictured above) and 18 and 15 years old cats.
Our critter friends deserve the same natural relief from pain and inflammation as we do. The fact our pets respond so well to CBD is a big reason our farm now carries Pet Releaf Edibites CBD pet treats at both Half Hill Farm stores: Wellness Emporium of Woodbury, TN (110 W High Street Woodbury, TN 37190) and Wellness Emporium of Bell Buckle, TN (13 Webb Rd. E Bell Buckle, TN 37020) – open seven days a week!
Get Pet Releaf Edibites for small dogs: $19.99 – large dogs: $25.99
Pet Releaf is currently the nation’s only organic CBD pet treat that uses its own proprietary organic hemp strain. Pet Releaf’s small breed formula comes in 1.5mg CBD pieces and 3mg CBD pieces for large breeds and in two flavors: Peanut Butter Banana and Blueberry Cranberry. You can supplement the treats with drops if your critter friend needs more and you don’t want to give them too many treats.
Here are some of the health benefits of CBD for dogs and cats:
How much CBD should I give my dog or cat? Every brand has a different dosage suggestion for pets, but there is a general range in these products from 0.5 mg per 20 lbs (low dosage) to 1 mg per 10 lbs (closer to human dosage). Smaller dogs may respond differently and may require smaller dosages at first. Here are Pet Releaf’s suggested serving sizes based on weight.
We give our small dogs 5 mg when they need it and plan on doing 2 mg per day as they get older. Consult your veterinarian with any concerns or questions about using CBD with pets..
Here are a few good articles about giving your pets CBD:

Our farm’s journey with the power of mushrooms started with a family illness and continues to bring healing to many friends and customers. That’s why we’re pleased to announce the addition of Cordyceps Militaris to our farm’s line of mushroom extracts!
Cordyceps are a dietary therapeutic mushroom that’s been used for centuries to improve the immune system and boost energy levels. Cordyceps were first used in the mountains of Tibet thousands of years ago as a remedy for fatigue and recovery from illness. The mushroom grows naturally on a caterpillar at elevations of 12,000 feet above sea level in China and throughout the world.
The addition of Cordyceps comes after years of listening to and observing the needs of customers who regularly use our mushroom extracts for better health and well being. Half Hill Farm also makes Red Reishi, Chaga, Turkey Tail and Lion’s Mane mushroom extracts.
Benefits of Cordyceps Mushroom extracts*:
Studies show many benefits to using codyceps mushroom extracts including a reduction of inflammation and oxidative stress, the leading causes of most disease. This makes cordyceps, along with chaga mushrooms, a good anti-aging and recovery supplement.
Athletes use cordyceps for recovery and performance as studies show the mushroom’s adenosine levels help increase the body’s supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is a primary source of energy during physical activity. Cordyceps also increase the body’s natural production of nitric oxide optimizing oxygen absorption and improving lung and liver function.
Cordyceps militaris produces cordycepin, a bioactive compound with antitumor activity in various cancers. The mushroom’s polysaccharides help support patients in the treatment of cancers and also contains 18 essential amino acids, vitamins E, K, B1, B2 and B12, sterols and antioxidants superoxide dismutase and glutathione.
You can purchase our farm’s Cordyceps Mushroom Extract online or at our store in Woodbury and the Wellness Emporium of Bell Buckle.

(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.
Thursday was a life-long dream come true as we brought our first honey bee hive onto the farm. That’s Vince carefully placing them with Scot Smotherman, a new partner with our farm. Scot’s great-uncle is bee keeper Dr. Ed Perryman of Shelbyville who taught him and countless people across the state how to keep and care for these amazing insects. We are so grateful for Scot sharing his knowledge and getting us this path.
This first colony is a hive of Carniolan bees. With all the rain and cold snaps, we wondered if they’d make it. A day or two later the sun came out, and they got oriented and went to work!
We know it’s a lot of work and commitment, but our goal is to collect as an inspected honey house to make our farm’s first organic hemp-infused CBD honey and share some extra healing love from Woodbury!
Stop by our stores Saturday April 14 in Woodbury, TN (map) or in Bell Buckle (a registered Bee City USA participant) at the Wellness Emporium (map) and pick up a free organic sunflower from Half Hill Farm!
Each sunflower that made it through the Spring frost will grow between 7-12 feet tall and was inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi to network your garden with a little Earth magic. This is our third year sharing our sunflowers as part of our farm’s commitment to spreading sanctuary for native solitary and honey bees. Our sunflowers are available with every purchase while they last.
Save the bees – diversity is key: You may not realize it, but there are several varieties of native bees that each have their own specialty when it comes to pollinating the landscape. Planting a variety of flowering plants is the best way to attract them, and hosting them in bee condos is a great way to encourage them to come back year after year. Solitary bee condos are also a great way to educate children and neighbors to respect the fragility and diversity of bees without the worries or hassle of keeping a hive of honey bees.
Discover the diversity of native bees:
| 1. Macropis nuda. 2. Agapostemon texanus. US sweat bee 3. Peponapis pruinosa. Squash & gourd bees 4. Bombus impatiens. The Impatient Bumble Bee 5. Osmia lignaria. The Blue Orchard Bee 6.
