Hacienda Wilde has been twelve years in the making.

What started as a deep dive into health, wellness, and clean living kept leading us back to one place: water. All the creams, potions, and supplements in the world mean very little if what we're putting into our bodies — starting with the water we drink — is working against us. Chemicals and sediment hiding in tap water. “Organic” produce still coated in oil-based pesticides that won't rinse off no matter how hard you scrub. So much goes undetected, and so much of it is fixable.

How It Started

It started simply: we got a water report, and we were floored by what was actually in ours. Then we leveled up — a friend's house, a filtration system, a Kangen machine capable of producing water anywhere from 2.5pH to 11.5pH, each setting suited to something different: 11.5 for stripping wax and residue off produce, 6.0pH beauty water that makes curly hair spring to life with nothing but water, and everything in between.

When 2020 hit and people were lined up around city blocks fighting over bottled water, we bit the bullet and bought our first filtration and Kangen system. Clean, pure, properly remineralized water — and we haven't had to think twice about it since.

What We Learned

As avid travelers, we also discovered something most people don't know: Kangen machines are FDA-registered medical devices, which means their water can be declared as medically necessary at airport security — letting us carry far more than the standard liquid limit onto flights, properly hydrated, without paying $8–$10 for a bottle of water at the gate.
