Chris Honen, aka Broth Man
Chris is a dad of 3 and proud veteran who served in the Navy. Chris has almost 25 years in the restaurant business. He has a strong operational background but has always held the belief that the customer experience is the number one priority. His passion for health and wellness came to him during a full lifestyle change. He struggled with gluten intolerances, fatigue and joint/muscle aches. That’s when broth was introduced to him by his wife, Melissa. He was the perfect test candidate to see if broth could help. The rest is history.
Melissa’s Story
HALE Bone Broth, was born out of necessity. I discovered the value of bone broth and couldn’t find quality bone broth anywhere, and I mean anywhere. So I decided to make my own and my friends and family all loved it.
I found bone broth about 3 years ago, but I feel like bone broth found me. I had just said goodbye to my mother, who lost her 2-year battle with cancer, at the young age of 60. I found myself reflecting on her life, what was important in life and just how short our time on this planet is. Through watching her battle with an awful disease, I realized how truly important health is when it comes to living a quality life.
I have always had a passion for health and fitness, but I was missing how it contributed to my overall well-being. I was looking for a way to help me recover and refuel from the day-to-day wear and tear physically, but really what I needed was a way to enhance my life with the right nutrients and minerals to support a healthy lifestyle. I realized I was missing the element of healing and replenishing my body. The answer for me was bone broth.
