Farm

A new, viable crop for the Midwest.

Soil

01 / 16

Pre-Planting Soil Testing

Every field is regularly tested for harmful chemicals and heavy metals before the crop is planted.

Dig Deeper

Hemp is a bioaccumulator. That means it pulls anything in the soil up into the plant itself. It is so critical to have ‘clean’ dirt because any impurities can make it into the hemp extracts you consume.

Fun fact: hemp is commonly planted in brownfields to purify the soil. Those toxins are accumulated in the plant. Thus, the importance of clean soil when growing for human consumption.

Greenhouse to Field

Our hemp seeds begin in a greenhouse where they grow for five weeks before being hand planted in our fields.

Vegetative Growth

As days get longer, hemp plants are in a vegetative growth cycle where the plant uses its energy to get as big as possible.

Dig Deeper

Unlike corn and soybeans, which each have male and female reproductive parts, hemp plants are either male or female. Female plants grow the flowers and produce the valuable hemp extracts (called cannabinoids). After the summer solstice, we must walk each row and remove any male plants that could pollinate our crop.

Fun fact: About one in every 5,500 of our plants is a male.

Inspected, Then Harvested

State regulators inspect and test our crop for THC content before harvest. Once approved, we cut and remove each plant by hand.

Slowly Cured

We hang dry our harvested plants, apply gentle heat and remove humidity to naturally cure the hemp.

Hemp Flower Milling

Hemp flowers are removed from the plant and milled to a smaller size. The milled flower is called ‘hemp biomass’.

Purify

We purify the natural extracts in the plant.

Extraction

We load the hemp biomass from our farms into our extraction booths to separate the naturally occurring hemp oils from the plant material. The result is an approximately 60% pure ‘crude hemp extract’.

Dig Deeper

Extraction happens in our own booths at our facility. No third-party processors, no mystery hemp — the biomass never leaves our chain of custody.

Filtration & Decarboxylation

The crude hemp oil is filtered to remove naturally occurring fats, lipids, and plant waxes from the oil. Then, the filtered crude is ‘decarboxylated’ — the process of heating the filtered hemp extract to remove an ‘-OH’ molecule.

Dig Deeper

Decarboxylation is heating hemp extract to knock a small chemical tag (a carboxyl group) off the raw cannabinoids, which escapes as carbon dioxide and converts the inactive acid forms (THCA, CBDA) into the active ones (THC, CBD). It’s the same thing an oven does to cannabis in a brownie — the reason you can’t get high from raw plant but can from a baked one.

09 / 16

Distillation

The filtered, decarbed crude is run through distillation equipment that (similar to bourbon) removes the ‘head’ and ‘tail’ fractions to create a product called ‘full spectrum distillate’. This product is between 90-95% pure cannabinoids and looks like honey.

10 / 16

Chromatography

We run our purified hemp extracts through a process called chromatography. This machine acts as a sorting machine, separating each cannabinoid (e.g., CBD and THC) by their molecular weight. We prefer chromatography because it separates natural hemp extracts, rather than converting them from a different molecule.

Dig Deeper

Many THC extracts on the market are converted from 100% pure CBD into ~90% pure Delta-9 THC by using harsh acids. This is a quicker and cheaper process, but the synthetic THC lacks toxicology data for that unconverted or semi-converted 10%. For us, that is a non-starter.

Sonication

Cannabinoid oil doesn’t naturally mix with water. Ultrasonic processing reduces particle size and pairs the hemp particles with proprietary, beverage-grade emulsifier to stabilize the oil in water.

Dig Deeper

This process separates the typical feeling from ‘gummies’ or other edibles from beverages. It’s commonly cited in academic research that by reducing particle size, this accelerates absorption in your body — giving consumers an onset effect similar to alcohol and easier to manage overconsumption.
