Meet the Founders
Caroline Glover and Ryan Cannon are a husband and wife duo from middle Tennessee, and they are passionate about the power of plants. Caroline graduated from Belmont University with a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science. She formed a love for growing food and herbs as she traveled around the country working on various farms. She learned the art of steam distillation while working on a lavender farm and has wanted to create products from plants ever since! Ryan has experience in the cannabis retail and growing industry, and he took it upon himself to study and become an expert in botanical extraction. We combined our passions for plants and alchemy and created Hermetic Botanical Extraction Labs (HBEL).
HBEL will be a manufacturing partner to a vast network that connectsnatural product companies and farmers across the US. We can see the potential for a domestic, sustainable, and holistic network of businesses that create products from seed to shelf.
Investors Welcome
Certainly, a venture like this requires significant seed capital to begin. We are currently in pursuit of capital by any means; loans, accelerators, investors, and friends & family. We are ensuring consistent business from the start by already lining up eager customers and suppliers from all throughout the southeastern part of the country. Our ultimate goal is to create a more domestic and circular economy that doesn’t have to rely on imports that uplifts farmers and partners in the process. Reach out to Caroline if you want to get in on the ground floor!
