The hemp plant is one of the best phytoremediators on the planet. That’s a fancy way of saying that whatever toxins, pesticides, and heavy metals are present in the soil can be readily drawn up through the roots and into the vascular system of the hemp plant. And once the hemp plants are processed into CBD oil, those toxins can end up in your CBD tincture. Therefore, it is important to look for the USDA certified organic seal on any full-spectrum CBD oil products that you purchase, as the seal assures that the hemp plants were grown on farms that do not contain harmful toxins in the soil.

Store CBD tinctures in a cupboard, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep the bottle closed tightly when not in use to reduce exposure to air and avoid contaminants.

We choose Vermont grown hemp for many reasons. First and foremost, we know the farmers, we’ve worked the field with them, we trust the integrity of their methods and we know they will be the best stewards for the hemp genetics we have developed. We partner with farmers who have achieved USDA Organic certification, ensuring the hemp we concentrate into oil is free of pesticides and toxic fertilizers. By supporting our local economy, we help build stability and longevity for the hemp market in our home state, in turn securing a local supply chain and reducing the cost of production.
