Greetings
Did you know October is our birthday month? This month we’re celebrating two years in business. It’s been our pleasure to be your hemp farmers and supply you with consistent, high quality CBD products. Here in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, we are embracing the first flush of cooler weather. Wet, cloudy days and earlier sunsets mean more time spent warm and dry indoors. Park picnics have been replaced with kitchen hangouts, riverbanks have been traded for coffee houses, and pumpkins line the market booths where strawberries used to be. What’s your favorite autumn routine?

Harvest
This seasonal shift came at the perfect time for us. We’ve been in full fledged harvest mode in recent weeks. Go time. The September field glistened with sticky, heavy-armed hemp plants awaiting their CBD destiny, and we were able to bring in both our fields before any heavy rains began (largely thanks to our early-flowering hemp varieties from Oregon CBD).
There’s a good deal of planning that goes into hemp harvest; it requires more than strong-backed bodies and good attitudes. There are several steps between field and final product, and each needs to be properly timed and managed. There’s transporting, drying, stemming, curing, debudding, chipping, and packing that all happens simultaneously around the farm in an elaborate dance that smells lightly of lemon or skunk, depending who you ask.
Soon we’ll be planting cover crops and bedding down our fields to rest and recover for the winter. They may look dormant, but they’ll be fixing nutrients in the soil and becoming even more robust and diverse before the whole party begins again next spring.
Switching to glass
In an effort to continually improve as we grow, we are making the transition to glass packaging for our entire product line. The Rubbit salves are now packaged in amber glass jars, which are reusable and recyclable, not to mention pleasing to the eye. Expect to see these new jars in your packages throughout the coming months as we exhaust the last of our current inventory. Same product, same price, new packaging. We hope you’re as happy with the switch as we are!
Discontinuing Half Ounce
We are also discontinuing the half ounce size for our products, in an effort to simplify our offerings and best meet the needs of our customers. The one and two ounce sizes are more economical and require less packaging for the same amount of CBD goodness. We thank you for your understanding.
Great market season
Farmer’s market season is winding down, and we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many shoppers, vendors, and new friends who frequented our booth throughout the season. What a pleasure. We attribute a large portion of our success to the support we’ve received in the local community.
If you joined us at the farmer’s market, please stay connected! We’ve created a special coupon code just for market shoppers to use during the off season: MARKET10 at checkout will save you 10% on your first order of $50+ at our web store.
We can still be found at the PSU market through December, and we will return to the Beaverton and Shemanski markets this Spring.

Holidays Ahead
We hesitate to be the folks hanging twinkly lights while there are still barbecues and sandals waiting to be put away, but it begs to be said: holiday season is fast approaching! Who are you shopping for? A mother or father, perhaps a partner, family member, or coworker? All natural, Oregon grown CBD products are a memorable and meaningful gift for the people and pets in your life.
Dad’s arthritis could use Rubbit 500. Your fitness-conscious coworker might appreciate Drops tincture. Have a hardworking spouse? Give the gift of all-natural pain relief (bonus points if it comes with a shoulder rub!) Out of state? No problem. We’ll ship their gift right to their mailbox.
Or perhaps you’d benefit from beginning a CBD oil regimen now, before the seasonal stresses of long lines, travel days, and loudspeakers playing Jingle Bells around the clock. We know CBD has helped save our sanity more than once!
