Melts Mission Hill HASHMAKER PROFILE

Mission Hill Melts is a Maine-based duo cranking out some serious heat via their small-batch solventless concentrates. While Adam and Hana have been working together since 2020, Adam started the brand back in 2015 out of an apartment in the Mission Hill district of Boston.

The operation mostly focused on flower-pressed hash until 2017, when a friend’s work at 710 Labs exposed Adam to the wonderful world of water hash.

He decided to freeze his entire harvest for washing, went out and got all the equipment, and the rest was history. From that moment on, finding the most flavorful terps to press became a pure obsession.

After years of making hash edibles in college, Hana reconnected with Adam and became one half of Mission Hill Melts in 2020. Her first job was running water lines to fill up the reservoir before wash days, but she started squishing shortly after as the brand continued to grow. “I started squishing to take some work off Adam’s already very full plate and really loved the process, so I commandeered the job for myself and now squish the majority of rosin we process,” she mentions.

Despite moving towards their own single-source garden very soon, Adam and Hana have built their business working with a select few high-end Cannabis farms in Maine – turning their incredible resin into even more spectacular full-melt hash and rosin.

Aloha Apothecary is not only one of the first cultivators they worked with, but also one that produces many of the recently-hyped cultivars this couple offers in dabbable form. Some notable genetics from this garden include

Blue Durian, Bahama Bussdown and POG Juice 2.0. Elm Cultivation follows right in line, presenting unique options for both hash and flower like Bahama Berry and Paradiso. Another is Cold River Cultivation, whose Guava Icee ended up being their Legends of Hashish and Ego Clash Invitational entries for 2022.

“Last year, Cold River trusted us with his entire outdoor crop and it was one of our favorite collaborations of the year,” Adam shares. “With a major focus on regenerative farming practices and living soil, Cold River’s sungrown Cannabis produced some extremely delicious rosin. Some of our favorites were the Guava Icee, Watermelon Z and Sour Garlic Cookies.”

Personally, some of my favorite hash I’ve consumed comes from this team – which also frequently features gear from Masonic and pheno-hunting work of MTSFarms out of Pennsylvania. One of my can’t-miss strains has got to be the StrawGreaseWilly – a cross of Strawberries & Cream, Grease Monkey and Wilson – with all the right funky-fruit notes. If I was stranded on a deserted island and only got to choose one terp to bring with me, this just might be my pick.
