Got a medical condition and want to see what scientists say about CBD? Click the link below and read up on it.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive component of cannabis, CBD is non-intoxicating and does not produce a "high."
CBD is primarily used for its potential therapeutic effects. Some of the benefits of using CBD found through scientific research include:
Pain relief: It is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help with chronic pain management.
Anxiety and stress reduction: Some studies suggest CBD may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress.
Improved sleep: It is often used to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
Epilepsy and seizures: The FDA has approved a CBD-based medication (Epidiolex) to treat certain types of epilepsy, especially in children.
Neuroprotective effects: There's emerging research that suggests CBD could have potential benefits for conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
CBD is available in various forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, and even vapes. However, the effectiveness and safety of CBD products can vary, and it's essential to consult a healthcare provider before starting CBD for medical purposes.
Because every individual’s health situation is unique, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before using CBD, particularly if you're on any prescribed medications. Your doctor can assess potential interactions and advise you on the safest course of action based on your specific health needs.
Our farm is located in Gloucester Virginia.
Gloucester boasts a rich farming history that dates back to the early colonial days. Known for its fertile soil and proximity to the York River, the area has long been a hub for agriculture, particularly tobacco, corn, and livestock. Generations of farmers have worked the land, passing down knowledge and traditions that have shaped the community.
Today, Gloucester's deep agricultural roots remain a vital part of its identity, with a growing interest in sustainable and diversified farming practices, including the cultivation of hemp. The town’s farming legacy continues to thrive, blending history with innovation.

River Organics was founded in 2018 following the passing of the Virginia Hemp Bill. With a deep passion for sustainable farming and a commitment to promoting wellness through natural products, this farm quickly became a beacon for locally-grown hemp in the region.
As one of the first farms in the area to cultivate hemp post-legislation, we have dedicated ourselves to producing high-quality, organic hemp products, including CBD oils, tinctures, and topicals. From seed to harvest, our team focuses on eco-friendly practices, ensuring that every product reflects the care and attention to detail that is characteristic of small, family-run farms.
Under the leadership of our founder, the farm has cultivated a reputation for quality and integrity. Our owner is passionate about empowering women in agriculture and creating a supportive, community-driven environment.
As a small business with a big heart, we are committed to sustainability, community engagement, and offering natural, plant-based solutions to enhance the health and well-being of our customers.
Yes! We extract our CBD ourselves through Organic Cane Ethanol extraction- a method that benefits the environment. The process allows for the ethanol to be almost entirely recovered and reused, reducing waste, conserving resources, and minimizing environmental impact. This approach saves both time and money, while also being more eco-friendly.
Supporting Facts:
Ethanol Extraction: Organic Cane Ethanol extraction is a popular method for CBD extraction as it is considered safe, effective, and environmentally friendly.
Reusability of Ethanol: Ethanol is a renewable resource that can be recycled during the extraction process, reducing waste and resource consumption.
Environmental Impact: By reusing ethanol, the process minimizes environmental impact compared to methods that dispose of solvents after use, contributing to sustainability..
