CBD – You Get What You Pay For…

As Big Corporations move into the CBD marketplace with massive investments, prices are dropping as hemp becomes a commodity. Consumers can now buy CBD anywhere, at most gas stations and grocery stores. However, the quality and price of CBD products vary tremendously. Critically, the effectiveness of cheap brands is not even close to that of premium products. Consumers should know how hemp was grown and extracted when choosing their brand of CBD. At NEK Hemp, we have chosen to grow our hemp organically, extract CBD using the cleanest and most thorough method, and third party test our batches to verify potency and safety.

Because we have chosen the best methods (not the cheapest), we know that our products taste better, are more bioavailable, and more effective than cheaper brands. By using the highest quality ingredients, best extraction technologies, and formulation practices, we are able to deliver a consistent product that our customers can rely on. NEK Hemp products are more expensive than typical gas station CBD, but the artisanal quality and the fact that the profits go to a sustainable family farm and not corporate shareholders makes all the difference.

Cheap CBD is rarely organic, is extracted with inferior methods, and is often not third-party tested or insured. Organic growing and processing methods are sustainable and ensure a clean product. Pesticides and heavy metals are absorbed by hemp, so where and how you grow is essential. Ethanol and Lipid extraction are far less effective extraction methods than supercritical CO2, resulting in products with lower potency, poor shelf life, and bitter taste. Sadly, many cheap CBD products do not verify the potency with impartial testing, so you really don’t know what you are consuming. Be wary of trusting any brand without the actual proof that you are getting what you paid for.

Even in Vermont, there are big companies trying to squeeze out the small farmers. Ask yourself if you want the Hemp Industry to go the way of the Dairy Industry. Do you want a few very large corporate suppliers or a wide variety of smaller craft producers? With the success of Vermont’s cheese, maple, beer, and spirits, the answer is clear. Support local craft businesses that put quality first. You get what you pay for.

A Chiropractor’s Experience With CBD, WOW!

“25 years of working with thousands of patients had taken a toll on my hands, wrists and elbows”, said Dr. Gina Carucci, owner of Carucci Chiropractic and Holistic Health Center located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. https://drcarucci.com/

“I tried several CBD products from California and Colorado companies.  Nothing helped.  I was considering significantly reducing my practice hours”.

As a last-ditch effort, Dr. Carucci gave her hands a rest by taking a four-week sabbatical during which she traveled to a region of Vermont called the Northeast Kingdom.

Unfortunately, the sabbatical was not a relieving vacation. After nearly four-weeks of rest, her hands still had a considerable amount of discomfort.

Then, as luck would have it, she had a “Relief Event.” And of all places, it was at a Vermont Maple Syrup Festival.  On the final day of her sabbatical, she dragged herself out to the festival in the rain and happened upon a chance meeting.

A small family farm called Northeast Kingdom Hemp (NEK Hemp) was also at the Maple Syrup Festival.  After a conversation with the NEK Hemp folks, Dr. Carucci purchased NEK Hemp’s 500 mg CBD balm and worked it into her hands prior to her return trip home.

“My drive home from the festival was different – it was a bit less after just one application.”

Dr. Carucci started applying the balm 3 times a day.  After two weeks, her hands were 80% better.

“Then my level plateaued,” said Dr. Carucci.  “80% less was significant but I wondered what would happen if I added a tincture to the protocol.”

Dr. Carucci began using a CBD tincture.  Placing drops of golden CBD oil under her tongue daily has returned her hands, wrists and elbows to 95 – 100%!

Dr. Carucci was so impressed by the effects of CBD that she now carries NEK Hemp’s CBD product line in her office, and  her patients rely on NEK Hemp’s CBD products.

Before recommending a product to her patients, Dr. Carucci insists on thoroughly researching it.  In this case, she traveled back to Vermont to see NEK Hemp’s family farm for herself.

She found a small family farm dedicated to sustainable organic production but with the advanced technical capabilities for producing top-quality CBD oils and products.

“They are committed to the earth and committed to quality.  They follow sustainable farming practices that protect the land while producing pure gold from the sun, earth and seed”– said Dr. Carucci.

“While visiting NEK Hemp’s farm, I found they have a high-tech lab to ensure purity and potency in the extraction and manufacture of their products.  The rest of the operation looks and feels like a family farm, with a wonderful log cabin and office that is very welcoming and inviting to the community.”

“This small family operation has made a significant investment where they follow rigorous operating procedures based on federal regulation.  Additionally, they have achieved the USDA Organic seal, and they place a QR code on each product.  This code verifies the independent lab analysis of the product to validate its purity and potency.”

But perhaps the most important thing she found was the people who love what they do and put quality and integrity above everything.

As Dr Carucci said. “This is Vermont.  A wonderful, down to earth family farm committed to quality in the products they produce because they care about the community they serve!”

We HAD a hyper-anxious Dog! Not anymore…!

“Dexter was frantic.  He was bouncing between my lap and my husband’s lap.  He clawed at the floor – he was trying to get under the dashboard,” Dee explained.

Dee, her husband, their three-year-old and poor Dexter were on what should have been a seven-hour trip to Vermont to have Thanksgiving with family.  Dexter was so upset that it had taken eleven hours to complete the first three hours of driving.

“We finally gave up and went back to New Jersey and had Thanksgiving with our neighbors.”

Dee doesn’t know why these panic attacks started when Dexter was seven years old.   He was fine on a five-day drive to Oregon a couple of years before, but now Dexter constantly panted and drooled when riding in the car.

He also started getting so anxious during thunderstorms that he would scratch the walls and make so much noise that it would wake up their toddler.

“Our veterinarian didn’t recommend CBD oils.”  The vet prescribed a few different medications that made Dexter groggy.  “We weren’t happy about how they affected him.”

The CBD Solution

“We didn’t know about CBD oils for dogs, but when my aunt suggested it, we decided to give it a try.”

Before their next trip to Vermont, Dee put seven drops of Northeast Kingdom Hemp Healthy Pet on Dexter’s treats.

“It was a completely different traveling experience.  Dexter was calm and happy.  He lay and slept on the back seat.  Every now and then, he got up and looked out the window.  He wasn’t sedated.  He was just relaxed and comfortable.”

Since then, Dexter manages thunderstorms without stress too.   A few Healthy Pets CBD oil drops on his treats when the weather looks threatening spares Dexter from a distressing experience.

It’s not uncommon for pets to have anxiety from car rides, thunder, separation from owners, and many other causes.  Northeast Kingdom Hemp’s Healthy Pets CBD oil can get them through it and greatly improve quality-of-life for the pets and their owners.

Why Northeast Kingdom Hemp?

“We found Northeast Kingdom Hemp and checked it out.  They’re organic, and they test so you know the amount of CBD.  We feel good about giving it to Dexter.  It’s something we can trust.”

What is the Healthiest FULL SPECTRUM HEMP OIL?

What is Full Spectrum CBD?

Full spectrum CBD Oils contain the hemp plant’s original terpenes and other types of cannabinoids, including cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), and less than 0.3% THC.  Oils with the full spectrum of these compounds are healthier due to the different cannabinoids working together synergistically.

Terpenes that create hemp’s flavors and aromas have health benefits (including promoting relaxation, calm and sleep).  These compounds are crucial to the range of beneficial action that hemp extract has on the human body.

The Healthiest CBD oils are made using cultivation and production methods that grow, preserve, and capture more of these natural hemp components.

Not All CBD Oils are the Same

The term full spectrum is loosely defined.  Many CBD oil products that are called full spectrum are not as healthy as others.  Cost cutting and labor saving practices causes reduced terpene and cannabinoid levels in the final product.

Cultivation, processing and extraction methods all impact the healthiness of the resulting CBD oil.

How Hemp is Grown Matters

Organic cultivation with adequate space for each plant produces hemp that is free from contaminants and rich in healthy compounds.

Because hemp is a bio-acumulator, meaning that compounds in the environment concentrate in the plant, no pesticides or herbicides can be used, ever.  Even organic pesticides can be unhealthy.

CBD oils producers that source hemp from external suppliers don’t control the growing conditions of the hemp they use. 

Small family farms like Northeast Kingdom Hemp know exactly how all their hemp is grown.  By caring for each plant by hand, and with cold winters eliminating almost all pests naturally, they can be sure that the hemp for their full spectrum oils grows free from contaminants and is rich with healthy hemp compounds.

Harvesting and Processing Matters

The delicate trichome hairs that cover hemp leaves and flowers are like tiny factories producing resins of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that give each hemp strain its unique character.

Abrasive industrial scale harvesting and processing may strip trichomes and resins from the plants.  Large producers may use industrial dryers that dry hemp so quickly that the highly volatile terpenes also evaporate in the dryer.

Even natural drying in the low humidity air of western states like Arizona, Colorado, or California can cause loss of terpenes because the hemp dries too fast.

The Deveraux Family of Northeast Kingdom Hemp

Operating on a smaller scale, hand harvesting keeps the delicate trichomes and resins that coat hemp plants intact.  Natural drying by hanging hemp plants in cooler higher humidity Eastern air provides optimum drying rates for preserving terpenes.  These methods take a lot more work but are essential for producing the Healthiest full spectrum CBD oils.

Extraction is Critical 

Extraction must efficiently preserve and capture the full spectrum of healthy hemp compounds while rejecting undesired components.  CO2 extraction is the best chemical-free technique, but flow rates in high-volume processing may blow terpenes through the system without capturing them.

Alcohol extractions leave chlorophylls in the extract giving a taste like a freshly mowed lawn.  Subsequent steps to remove chlorophylls can degrade or drive off terpenes.

Small batch CO2 extraction with multiple collection chambers and precise control provides the best chemical-free capture of cannabinoid and terpene oils and removal of undesired waxes and chlorophyll.

Though it may only be possible to process a single pound of hemp per hour using this technique, it produces the richest full spectrum oil with the most complete capture of cannabinoids and terpenes.

This time consuming process may not fit the business model for large scale manufacturers, but it’s the way to make full spectrum CBD oils that are teeming with healthy hemp compounds.

THE LARGEST CBD BRANDS “ARE NOT” USDA ORGANIC CERTIFIED! WHY NOT?

Why is the USDA Organic seal important?  You buy CBD oil for your health so it makes sense that you want to make sure it is pure.

The USDA Organic seal provides assurance that your CBD is free of pesticides, herbicides, and other unwanted chemicals.  

So, why are the largest CBD brands “not” USDA Organic certified?  The big brands each have annual revenues in the tens of millions of dollars, with the largest exceeding one hundred million dollars.

Is there enough USDA Organic hemp?

It would be more expensive for the largest CBD brands to source the large quantities of hemp they buy from USDA Organic certified suppliers.  By buying their hemp from non-certified suppliers, they increase their profits.  Since so much non-certified hemp supplies the market, supplies of true USDA Organic hemp are limited.  

The supply of USDA Organic certified hemp is not a problem for Northeast Kingdom (NEK) Hemp.   They grow all their own hemp right on their USDA Organic certified family farm, so they know exactly how it’s grown.  No worries about sourcing hemp from suppliers who may cut corners.

In fact, NEK does the entire process from organic soil to bottling organic oil right on their farm.  This is how they know every step is done right to produce the highest purity oils.

Hemp is a bio-acumulator, meaning that compounds in the environment concentrate in the plant.  Any pesticides or herbicides used by non-certified suppliers of the largest CBD brands accumulates in the hemp plants. This is why Northeast Kingdom Hemp does not use any pesticides or herbicides.  NEVER ANY – EVER.

When the largest CBD oil producers source hemp from external suppliers, they don’t control the growing conditions of the hemp they use.  Any pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals in the growing environment can be concentrated in oils produced and be harmful to your body.

It makes sense that you want CBD oils that are pure.  Northeast Kingdom Hemp doesn’t have the large marketing budget of the big brands, but they know how to produce the Healthiest CBD oils.  

The Healthiest CBD oils are USDA Organic Certified.  All hemp oils Northeast Kingdom Hemp makes are fully USDA Organic. 

How does Northeast Kingdom Hemp do it?

Because Northeast Kingdom Hemp is located in the northern part of Vermont, they have a unique advantage over industrial hemp farms.  In northern Vermont, the long cold winters eliminate almost all pests naturally.  There are so few pests that Northeast Kingdom Hemp can prevent problems with aphids by using ladybugs. 

Industrial scale hemp farms are forced to use pesticides and herbicides to protect their crops.  That’s why they can’t get USDA Organic Certification.

Northeast Kingdom Hemp never uses any pesticides or herbicides, not even organic ones.  Even organic pesticides and herbicides can be unhealthy. 

By caring for each plant by hand, Northeast Kingdom Hemp can be sure that their hemp grows free from contaminants and is rich with healthy hemp compounds.  It’s all part of making the healthiest, purist CBD oils. 

When selecting CBD products, make sure you’re getting the Healthiest.  That means finding a source that puts quality first in every step of the process.

How your CBD is grown, processed, and extracted affects how it works in your body.

Small family farms like Northeast Kingdom Hemp don’t compromise quality for profit.  They only make the Healthiest CBD oils.  Use a source you can trust.
