A STORY 10 YEARS iN THE MAKiNG.

We are super proud to have created Hilbilby FiRE TONiC™ 10 years ago. What started as a home remedy to bolster the gut health of our 4 boys, has turned into more than we could’ve ever wished for.

iNSPiRED BY TRADiTiON

Seeking natural ways to boost immunity, improve digestion and bolster overall wellness, we delved into the world of fermentation and tincturing drawing inspiration from traditional folk remedies.

Our kitchen soon became an experi-fermentation zone, where we fermented & tinctured just about everything we could get our hands on.

RAW UNPROCESSED REAL FOOD iNGREDiENTS

We underwent a meticulous selection process and many trial batches in order to tap into the healing properties of the naturally powerful herbs and spices already growing in our kitchen garden. 

We settled on a blend of 24 real-food ingredients, each chosen for its health benefits, flavour and synergistic healing properties. We consider this recipe to be liquid gold, and as such it has remained unchanged for 10 years and counting.

We knew we were on to something with our highly evolved version of Hippocrates 2,500 year old elixir known Oxymel.

GROWTH

FiRE TONiC™ was originally steeped in 25Lt glass demijohns in our home kitchen.

SHARiNG THE BENEFiTS

Having nailed the recipe we started to share our FiRE TONiC™ with friends and family. The positive feedback was overwhelming, everyone loved the taste and experienced noticeable health improvements with regular use.

Encouraged by the "you could sell this in a shop" response, we decided to "spread the fire" and scale our little project into a stand alone family business, with a plan to get FiRE TONiC™ to the masses for all to enjoy.

BUiLDING A COMMUNiTY

Our vision for Hilbilby Cultured Food goes beyond just selling a product. We are excited to be part of a community of like-minded growers, stores, distributors and end customers who value health, wellness, and sustainable living.

We'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone who has been part of our journey.

Our philosophy continues to be rooted in traditional remedies, and geared towards optimum health & vitality. We are still very much aligned with Hippocrates "Let Food be thy Medicine and let Medicine be thy Food".

LEGACY

Whilst much has changed in the last 10 years, our FiRE TONiC™ recipe & price have remained the same.

We hope that well beyond our time, FiRE TONiC™ will stand as a symbol of our passion for naturally attained wellness.

Long may it be a pantry staple for those who value its many benefits.
