Hackamore.com is my domain.

Hackamore Hydroponics was Memphis, Tennessee's first hydroponic supplier and grew from my interest in peppers and home food production. I discovered hydroponics and had hobby systems for several years, but in those pre-internet days I had to drive to Nashville for parts and supplies! So instead of that I brought Memphis, Tennessee it's first local hydro source, Hackamore Hydroponics.

These days there's Sun City Hydroponics and with a storefront, a decent inventory, helpful staff, etc. they're the best local choice for hydroponic supplies. I no longer sell hydro stuff, though recently I've found a source for reasonably priced greenhouses for the serious home gardner and I may start handling those.

But why is it named after a rope bridle? Because my father, L.F. Matthews  had Hackamore Ranch near Holly Springs, Mississippi where he was one of the first US Importers of Chianina* cattle from Italy.

Here's a link to the American Chianina Association.

*Chianina cattle are generally regarded as the largest breed of cattle in the world.
