CBD-Rich Genetics January 29, 2020 – Posted in: Blog, Uncategorized

The key to producing a high-quality hemp crop starts with plant genetics. There are many different varieties, or strains, of Hemp.

And some types of Hemp produce higher concentrations of CBD or cannabidiol than others. Our CBD-rich Hemp genetics were hand-selected for their High-CBD and terpene-rich profile. That means our Hemp produces higher amounts of CBD in…

Harvesting the Hemp crop is just as important, if not more, than every other factor that goes into the ultimate quality of CBD including genetics and environment.

Seed to Shelf January 26, 2020 – Posted in: Blog

After harvest and cryogenic freezing, we use organic ethanol distillation to separate the unwanted plant waxes and other materials from the desirable Hemp compounds.
