We create the highest quality organic CBD products to improve the quality of life for our customers.
We grow and refine USDA certified organic CBD products of the highest quality on our family owned farm in the Virginia Chesapeake Bay watershed. Very few CBD products on the market are USDA certified organic and as hemp cleans soils of toxins, only organic products can assure the user of purity.
We farm hemp sustainably and organically with no pesticides or insecticides, with the guidance of a master horticulturist with over 30 years of farming experience.
The hemp is hand seeded, cultivated and harvested at optimum bloom. It’s processed on site in a state of the art extraction facility meeting USDA organic extraction requirements. We control the process from seed to bottle and all products are independently tested by a third party laboratory.
A portion of our sales are pledged to support the environment.
2020 was our 2nd year and we’re excited for many more to come!
