area, created the illusion of a never-ending, green sea of hemp. Surprisingly, while I expected the aroma of the farm to be quite pungent, the gentle herbaceous wafts of the plant only arrived following a gentle breeze and were exceptionally pleasant. The farm smelled fresh and clean, yet undeniably distinct. As the day went on, and Cody continued to educate us on his methods of farming and harvesting such high levels of CBD, I felt at ease knowing we were sourcing our CBD from such a natural and rich source of hemp. We learned that depending on the field, Cody would employ different tactics in order to harvest the highest yield of CBD from his plant and he had to be very adaptable with his farming methods. From our point of view, Cody was running a tight ship and had perfected the way in which his plant is grown and harvested. However, according to Cody, he is always learning and developing his farming practices and techniques in order to continuously improve and produce such a high quality product. On the visit to Oregon, we had the pleasure of meeting Freddie, who facilitates the extraction of the CBD. I have worked with Freddie for many years and we have a close personal relationship. Freddie works meticulously with Cody to ensure the time involved from the plant being harvested to the time it is extracted at his facility, is kept to an absolute minimum. What makes our CBD so special is that we don’t use any harsh chemicals or solvents to create our oil. Cody and Freddie have created a synergy whereby the plant is taken from the farm to the extraction facility, and delivered to our customers with such efficiency that “crop to store” end product contains very high levels of CBD, and undetectable levels of THC—all while maintaining a completely organic process. It’s so important to us that we can trace every point in our supply chain no matter what product we launch. When it comes to CBD Oil, I feel at ease knowing that behind our product line is a family taking the greatest care of their farm—and ultimately—our product line. Extraordinary Health ™ • Vol 38 25
