We Love What We Do

We’re a family of scientists and farmers who grow organic hemp. Our top priority is producing premium cannabis with environmental resiliency. From soil to oil, all of our products are handcrafted here. We’re single-source, vertically-integrated, and solventless (our extraction process is free of all chemicals).

Family Tree Hemp Co. is our labor of love. Our uniqueness comes from our all-natural approach and the House Blend we’ve created (read more below), along with our history, practices and our land.

Our organic sun grown botanicals grow hillside with water fed by Sheldon Springs. In the late 1800s, Sheldon, Vermont was the leading water resort of the United States based on the healing minerals contained in the Springs here.

We commit to quality control each step of our process — from cultivation techniques and regenerative farming to small-batch manufacturing and independent lab-testing throughout

All of these efforts allows us to make truly special, clean, and effective CBD.

From Start to Finish

Our Process

Stage 1 :: Phenotype Hunt

Family Tree Hemp Co. carefully selects mother plants for each variety based on the most desirable attributes of that genetic. We plant clones of this female phenotype for consistency and to prevent pollen from male plants.

Stage 2 :: No Till Farming

Family Tree Farm land is certified organic. Our methods are regenerative, no-till, and science-driven. We use only certified organic inputs and IPM/biodynamic practices to protect our crops. We grow craft hemp indoors in a sterile environment to offer high-quality, fresh products all year.

Stage 3 :: Harvest

Curing is a slow delicate process that takes us weeks and requires sustained care. We do a slow stem cure to develop tasty buds. The extra care to maintain proper humidity and temperature for the buds flavor and moisture levels helps us to turn potentially harsh buds into smooth and delicious smoke. We separate the craft tops and shoulders as smokables from the smaller buds we use for processing.

Stage 4 :: Our Extraction Method

We use only gentle heat and pressure to extract our premium craft CBD and THC concentrates. They’re free of all solvents!
The most common method of extraction utilizes hydrocarbons (CO2, butane or propane) as a solvent to separate plant oil from other plant matter.
There are no chemicals used in solventless extraction. This produces cleaner, higher-quality concentrate. The cannabinoids, flavonoids, phytonutrients and other beneficial compounds included in our concentrates are proven to increase the benefits of each mg of CBD or THC.

Stage 5 :: Our House Blend

2. * Our House Blend
We use multiple types of intentionally chosen cannabis and hemp in our products. We carefully choose cultivars for a proprietary blend of uniquely concentrated rosin (flower and sift) that we call our HOUSE BLEND. Our HOUSE BLEND (of select flower and sift rosins) is the basis of our entire product lines- we have one for THC and a separate blend for THC. Both consistently premium HOUSE BLENDs are full of cannabinoids and offer unique and diverse terpene profiles that maximize the effectiveness of each mg of CBD or THC.

Stage 6 :: Our Packaging

Family Tree Hemp Co. carefully selects all food grade packaging, that is recyclable, with child safety measures for ingestible products..

Family Tree Cannabis Co. bases all packaging on Vermont CCB guidelines and environmental resiliency.

Our Farm + Our Story

Ben’s parents settled in Vermont from Brooklyn in the 1960s, seeking a quieter life. They built their home here, now Family Tree. Ben grew up on the farm and learned about commercial growing.

Jane and Ben are life partners and best friends. They spent their early days together producing yoga events and music festivals on this property. They married on the front lawn and shared homebirth here. A few years later Family Tree Hemp Company was born on the land too… the story is still being written.

Our Team

Who We Are and What We Believe

Nationwide there aren’t many organic, solventless, CBD companies. We’re happy to be among them. The products we make respect the planet and our consumers. Our certified organic CBD rosin (the concentrate which infuses our product line) is singly sourced from our certified organic hemp farm.

Family Tree is vertically integrated so that we can manage all aspects of our operation. We nurture our plants as we do our children, who may be small but are a large part of the team.

We carefully harvest, dry, stem cure, mechanically extract, and process our material in-house. Each product (except the gummies which are made in a certified commercial kitchen for cannabis) are carefully crafted here.

All of our production batches are uniquely ID’d to allow complete traceability of raw material to finished good.

We’re scientifically experienced cannabis cultivators with backgrounds in manufacturing engineering, brand and marketing development and holistic health.
