Hiwassee Products

What Hiwassee Products does

Hiwassee Products is a privately held US manufacturer of specialized equipment for regenerative agriculture, headquartered in Madisonville, Tennessee on the campus of the former Hiwassee College. The company designs, fabricates, and sells continuous-flow compost extraction systems, continuous-flow vermicomposting systems, and portable soil microscopy labs, with a hardware portfolio of 71 SKUs spanning entry-level to commercial units. The core technology is a patent-pending stepped auger combined with a water-jet extraction system that produces biology-rich liquid compost extracts at throughputs ranging from 250 gallons per hour (X100) to 1,000 gallons per hour (X350), with interchangeable mesh screens, adjustable auger speed, optional booster pumps, and timer-ready solenoids for automated batch processing. The VermiFlow continuous-flow-through vermicomposting system enables worm-casting production without disturbing worms, and the hPACK mobile lab provides field-portable soil microscopy for verifying biological farming practices. Grozome Plant Probiotics (OMRI-listed, BioComplete-certified compost) provides a consumable input sold alongside the equipment.

Core offering

Hiwassee Products designs and manufactures continuous-flow compost extractors (X100–X350, plus CE-marked European variants) that use a patent-pending stepped-auger and water-jet system to produce liquid biological extracts. The company also sells the VermiFlow continuous-flow-through vermicomposting system, the hPACK mobile soil-biology laboratory, and Grozome Plant Probiotics as a vertically integrated suite for regenerative agriculture practitioners.

Product overview

Hiwassee Products offers equipment solutions for regenerating soil biology, organized into three main product lines: (1) Compost Extraction Equipment (X100/X150/X250/X350 and e-series extractors producing 250-1,000 GPH of biology-rich compost extract); (2) Composting Equipment (VermiFlow continuous flow vermicomposting system); and (3) hPack Mobile Lab Solutions (portable soil microscopy kits with microscopes, cameras, and staining supplies). The portfolio also includes accessories (booster pumps, cordless drive, hoses, mesh screens) and Grozome Plant Probiotics compost supplies. The X-series extractors use a patented stepped-auger water-jet extraction system with interchangeable mesh screens, while the hPack labs enable farmers to verify biological farming effectiveness through microscopy. The company also serves European markets through CE-marked e-series models distributed via authorized dealers.
