Healing, Community, and Flavor
Broth with a Purpose
For Melissa Smith, a passion for health, healing, and connection has inspired a thriving business that serves the South Shore community. As the co-founder and creator of HALE Bone Broth, Melissa has crafted a product that nourishes not just the body, but the soul. HALE Bone Broth is made with 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised beef and organic vegetables and spices, and it’s a small-batch, grain-free product designed to heal from the inside out.
When Life Hands You Bones
HALE Bone Broth’s foundation is based on personal experience and compassion. After losing her mother to cancer, Melissa was searching for a way to prioritize the importance of living a healthy, quality life. In her search for natural ways to heal and nourish her body, she discovered bone broth. But when she couldn’t find a product that met her standards, she took matters into her own hands.
“I feel like bone broth found me,” Melissa says. “I needed something to replenish my body, something with the right nutrients and minerals to support a healthy lifestyle. When I couldn’t find it, I started making my own, and my family and friends loved it.”
The Magic Is in the Broth
Melissa’s strong personal ambition quickly translated into a motivated business. Today, HALE Bone Broth has expanded to four delicious flavor offerings, each rich in 19 essential amino acids, collagen, and nutrients that support digestive health, immunity, and brain function. From the gut to the brain, muscles, and ligaments, HALE Bone Broth delivers whole-body benefits with every sip.
Found at farmers’ markets across the South Shore and Cape Cod, HALE Bone Broth is also available for local delivery and convenient monthly subscriptions. Its robust flavor and healing properties make it a staple for health-conscious locals.
A Sip Above the Rest
In the health industry, what sets HALE Bone Broth apart is its dedication to quality and community. Melissa’s team carefully sources each ingredient, with traceable origins and a commitment to flavor that keeps customers coming back for more. “It’s not just about creating a great product,” Melissa shares. “It’s about making something that truly heals and enhances people’s lives.”
Building Bonds Through Broth
Community is an essential part of Melissa’s business model and the support of the South Shore has been integral to HALE’s growth. In the local farmers’ market scene, HALE Bone Broth has become a cornerstone, and Melissa has even organized her own events to provide spaces for small businesses to thrive. This past holiday season, she hosted a festive shopping event at Hanover Crossing to bring together vendors and customers in celebration of local entrepreneurship.
Beyond markets, HALE Bone Broth gives back in meaningful ways. The business supports local charities such as Marisa’s Mission and the Abby Mac Foundation, donates to South Shore schools, and contributes to initiatives that uplift the community.
Fueling Female Entrepreneurs
Melissa’s entrepreneurial ambitions go beyond bone broth: She co-founded the Girl Gang Association with Susan Davis of SHD Marketing, which creates a powerful network for women entrepreneurs. Through the association, women in business gain access to resources, industry expertise, and an empowering community of like-minded entrepreneurs. .
Stirring Up Big Dreams
The future of HALE Bone Broth looks bright and promising. Over the next three to five years, Melissa has ambitious goals that include expanding into retail stores and shipping products nationwide. Her vision is simple yet powerful: to bring the healing benefits of bone broth to more people while staying true to the South Shore roots that inspired her journey.
“The South Shore is where I grew up,” Melissa says. “It’s special to me, and I want to continue to make it a great place for families, communities, and small businesses to thrive.”
