a certified organic apple cider vinegar-based, sparkling farmer’s tonic: a refreshing take on a traditional fold recipe.

Lightly sweet with 5g sugar, Haymaker delivers a bracing, thirst-quenching sip with real character.
Consciously crafted, unique, and bold:
Haymaker is born to stand out in the field.

I am recalibration, sharp and clever.
A zesty little reset disguised as a drink.

Bright citrus snaps you awake,
while ginger leans in and says, ‘Stay sharp’.

Bold, crisp, and relatable enough to pull it all off.

Harvest N0. 016:

Traditional count of herbs in apothecary blends

I am curiosity, the wild card.

Satisfying, tart, and enough to keep you guessing.

The plot twist your taste buds didn’t see coming.

Bold, bright, a little mischievous.

Harvest N0. 021:

Summer solstice the year’s brightest day

I am invigoration with a grin.

Bold, sun-soaked flavor that kicks the door open.

A tropical quencher, bright and unapologetic.

Pure, playful adrenaline in a can.

Harvest N0. 037:

Peak summer harvest temperature

I am reflection, deep and slow.

The taste of a late-summer stretch,
when the day exhales and the night hasn’t yet begun.

Not a rush, but a pause,
like a reverie you don’t want to end.
