 I guess I'll start now. So I'll start again. My name is Matt from Loose Farm Wellness. We are an artisanal wellness company from Stockbridge, Vermont. We do everything by hand from seed all the way to finished product so you know exactly what you're getting with us. So show of hands, does everyone know what CBD is in here? Yeah? So half and half? All right. So we'll just do a quick little thing from the beginning, CBD. It's everywhere now. You're seeing it in gas stations and coffee shops and restaurants and pharmacies, every place you're seeing it. And what CBD is, it's actually called cannabidiol and it is part of the hemp plant. Just like THC, you have CBD, it's called cannabinoids and they're finding that the hemp plant now has over 110 different cannabinoids that are known right now and they're finding more every day. So there's a lot of different things going on in that plant and CBD is one that people have been using to fight seizure disorders, to help with sleep insomnia, anxiety. We're finding a lot of our customers are using it in so many different ways for so many different things. So a little background on that is really thinking about it, I believe it was Charlotte's Web. It's another CBD company from out west that brought it to full attention. I believe he made his first extract for seizure disorder and it worked very well and this was going back about 15 years or so. So a lot back then, it was a whole different world, it was illegal. So parents were getting arrested for trying to give their kids CBD because it was a Schedule 1 drug at the time. Now it is not. As of this June, it was off the Schedule 1 list, decriminalized so it is legal product. So what we do at Loose Farm, we started off in 2015, we bought the Loose Farm which is on top of, it's a 200 acre farm in Stockbridge, Vermont. So the Loose family has owned the farm for over 200 years. It's an old homestead, beautiful property and the Pimentels, Joe and Rebecca who are the owners now, are the first non Loose family members to own the property. That being said, Loose is very excited that we opened it back up as an agricultural farm. For a while it wasn't being used at all and if you see the farm, it's beautiful. We have tons of open fields and I believe in the beginning 200 years ago it started off as a hop farm. So Vermont was one of the premier hop states back 200 years ago before things got artisanal in the hop category. So yes, we are a family ran farm, there's about 18 of us in the entire company. We do everything from seed to harvesting all by hand. Actually, let me start right from the beginning here, so we'll start with the story. So the 200 farm, so ancient recipe creators, so what they decided to do with our CVD is to use old recipes in a natural way to bring it to the point that it is now. We started off by making honey. We use Champlain Valley apiaries honey, well I'm getting ahead of myself, hold on. So in 2016 we did a partnership with a couple universities, they approached us to grow hemp for them to do medical studies with. So we grew about 150, 200 CVD plants and after we had harvested and everything, they split half of the crop with us. So we had 75 plants that we weren't sure what exactly to do with. So Becca being in business before making rubs and bombs, she just started thinking about what we could put it in and we thought honey. So because we found a recipe where you would use a lipid extraction which is using a fat like coconut oil and you extract the oils from the plant with that and what we were doing in the farm kitchen, we were blending it right into the honey there. So we weren't sure what was going to happen but when they started giving it out to all the neighbors, I was one of them and people, they were getting results back. People were like, holy cow, that, I feel great, this stuff actually works. So they were like, wow, I think we're onto something here, but it was so crude. It was like a green sludge going into the honey, so it wasn't really appealing and there were so many different things that were, so many different things that were, I'm trying to say, so many different things that were, yeah, sorry about that, about, there was no consistency with it. So there was a lot of issues with temperature and amount of product going in. There was nothing measured, so we had to come down with a more consistent way of doing it. So they started looking in, so basically when we started we were doing lipid extraction which is using a fat to extract, heated it up and using the fat to extract the oils from the flour and then we started looking and there's two others, there's an ethanol extraction which uses ethanol to extract it, another heated process and then there's supercritical CO2 extraction which is what we use now, I'll go into that later. So once they started giving it out to the neighbors and getting all this information back they're like, all right, we're going to start doing it, we're going to do it, we're going to do it the right way because they are organic farmers for 10 years prior to growing hemp, so they have an agricultural background. So with that they set out to find an extractor and we found one in this guy named Eric who works up in Waterbury, I'm sorry Montpelier in Catus is our extraction method and he was very willing to extract it for us, it's a very expensive way of doing it so they're like, all right, well we're going to have to grow more, if we're going to do this we started off with those 150 plants, the next year we were up to 400 plants and the ball started rolling and here we come, Loose Farm, we kept the name of Loose Farm because there's so much history in the entire state of Vermont with the Loose family. You'll see Loose Road here, actually you'll see Loose Road in like four or five different areas of the state and they're all basically the same family. So they've been around for a while so we wanted to keep that history with the product because it's a beautiful story. So we went with Loose Farm and we started figuring out different ways, you know, Becca was into rubs and bombs and so we did the honey and then once we figured out we were doing the CO2 extraction we had a very pure, a very clean extract, mother oil is what we use, I mean it's a hemp extract, really there's not a lot of terminology, it's still a fairly new idea, CBD so there wasn't a lot of terminology so we call it hemp extract or mother oil because this is what we use in all our products. So we have the extract now so there was our honey was our first one, the extract was number two and then she started messing around with bombs so we do body bomb, a couple different rubs and you know the ball kept rolling, people were getting back great information from all our customers of what they were using it for and how it was helping them in their daily life so it all just kept rolling. So now here we are today and the reason they are, it's a sustainably agricultural farm because we also put back into the ground so our farm also has goats, chickens, geese, horses and all that gets put back into the ground it's used to renew the ground every year we're using that and we also do a cover crop with our plants so we have clover, calendula, sunflower all right into the land with the hemp plants so it's giving back to the ground what the hemp is taking out. So now we'll just go right to our process so now I'm going to just talk a little bit about how we get our oil, I kind of did briefly I'll go in a little deeper now so genetics we'll start with so we get our seeds straight from the source the man who we use a one strain called the boxativa and it comes from Colorado there's the geneticist that has created this seed it's a high CBD low THC because there is THC in our product we're a full spectrum product you're getting everything from the plant but it's non-psychoactive it's at a 0.3% so points you know I mean it's it's a low percent the seed so those seeds come from Colorado we started this year with 16,000 seeds and we let them grow they grow for about 10 weeks and when they get to a certain level you can tell they're either going to be a male or a female so you check you go through and you sext every plant you see if they're going to be males because you only want females out in the field females are what make that beautiful flower when the men all the all the male plants all they think about are making seeds so it kind of goes hand in hand with life so you have the ladies that once we have all our plants sexted as females they get sent out into the fields and this year we got 8,000 plants just over 8,000 plants that were female we work with nine farms in total including ours that grow for us so what we do is we get them all started they're all sexted on our property and then when they're ready to get put in the ground the people who are the farms that are with us come and pick them up and take them to their farm get them in the ground and take care of them from that point on why we do that we find we call it the loose farm collective that with small plots of plants get more attention than if we put 8,000 plants in our fields which we have the room to do they would not get the attention that they needed thus not making a very high quality flower it would be quality but not high quality defining with the smaller land plots that we're getting a better quality flower from that and we're also helping out all the local farms to really keep that agricultural lifestyle going as a nice little side stash for everything because every farm we have you know one one farmer is a beef farmer another farmer does just flowers and so this is all a little side project for them but they have apertures to do and it's helping them keeping their real projects going so we're kind of giving back to the community as well and bringing other people involved so our cultivation so everything is growing outdoors in the ground on our farms and like I said we do a cover crop in between all of our spot all of our plants so there's calendula clover sunflowers I mean you name it there's there's just so many different flowers and I mean I I'm not really I don't know a lot about flowers but it's really pretty and I know they're all giving something back to the ground there and so once they get to a certain level usually about see we get them in the ground around June about two and a half weeks ago we started harvesting and now that's the long process because we do it all by hand there's no machines at work there people including myself are out in the fields we take the the big fan leaves off and we trim it branch by branch and we bring it down to the farm where we use some clippers to take off all the major leaves so we're just left with the flower and they get home to dry and you know all this like I said all this is done by hand so we feel that by using touching the plant so much and and hands on with it it's giving it better quality because it is getting the attention that needs we dry it in containers to right where we the right moisture content that we need for it once we have that moisture contact it's stripped from the from the branches and we only use the flower and the reason that why we only use the flower we could use the leaves and the stems but we feel that that would dilute the the potency of our flower because the flower is where you're getting everything from the leaves the stem they all have some form of CBD in there but it's not not as potent so to get rid of all that and just use the flower we're getting the best quality product that we can so it leads us to our extraction so we use the super critical extraction which is a very expensive way to extract but it also gives you the most consistency and throughout the year so you there's once you once we use one strain and we have the supercritical CO2 our our flavor and quality is consistent throughout the entire year so how this supercritical CO2 extraction works so we bring it in and so terpenes are another form of cannabinoids that are in the plant that's what the flavor the smell comes from it's all from the terpenes and it's very volatile so any kind of heat attitude will burn that right off so what we what they do in the lab what Eric does is he extracts the terpenes from the plant first so they're contained in a in a container safe to get put back in later and we fill a strong container with uh i believe it's i believe it's six pounds of flour in this container and what it does is you you pack it full and you drop the temperature in there and you slowly add the CO2 in so when the CO2 goes in even though it's in a gas form when the temperature drops the molecules of that get so close together that it acts like a water and it'll pull the oils from the the flower so once it starts pulling it goes into a receptor where the pressure is a little bit lighter so as the oil comes down the CO2 is released and brought back up and pulled back around to the original container to be used again and so then you're left with our oil which is then emptied into another container and sent to us to package however we see fit and so then we come to our production which takes place in Bethel Vermont we have a kitchen in Bethel Vermont and uh there we do everything we make uh well we don't make the honey we get our honey from Champlain Valley apiaries so it is a local honey um but we we do all the mixing in there so we take uh say for instance for our warming rub which is an arnica base rub we take the arnica the lemon the ginger and then the CBD as well we put it we have these special containers we pour it in and like I said it's all done by hand why I say it's artisional because we are taking very good time and quality on crafting these products uh it is a food processing kitchen so we are up to code the Vermont Department of Health has certified us so uh and the person who runs the kitchen is certified as well so when you know regulations will be coming soon enough and when that does we are set in place to she's got this ship running super tight her name is Lauren she's awesome what's up Lauren uh so once you know we get all our products made we go for testing and we do third party testing so we send um all our products out we do in-house testing as well uh we send our products out and uh get tested for certain whatever levels make sure there's no pesticides or heavy metals in there or make sure that the THC level is at the legal limit because you have if it's over legal limit it cannot be used so this is the most important part and when you're asking questions always make sure if you're buying CBD that they have third party testing so the answers aren't skewed at all from you know personal use or personal testing I should say um and we also do a COA on every oil that comes to us before we get it we have a certificate of authenticity that has all everything that is in that oil the CBD levels THC levels the CBN CBG all the different cannabinoids that are in there come on this list and it tells you what percentage so you know exactly what you're getting and that is available just you know it's um all our um containers are lot coded so if say you bought a honey that had lot 76 on there well you know you would call up and say yes I have a honey from lot 76 can I get the certificate of authenticity on what I'm taking and then we'd be able to we have that to provide to you um if if you're using a product and they won't give you a certificate of authenticity I'd give it a second look you know um so testing is super super important and so then come to the customer testimonials um you know I can't say you know we we do not say our product is going to help you but what our product has done for other people is pretty amazing um you know I have a very super stressful stressful job which often leads to knots in my shoulders and even my collarbone the pain can be uh debilitating sorry at times uh this has been a lifesaver I use it when I get up in the morning and before I go to bed at night I bring it to work and use it in there uh if my day becomes overwhelming it's amazing and I highly recommend it um just like Barbara here at the bottom skied 111 days this past winter I myself am an avid skier and if I didn't have our warming rub for a little uh pain in my knee that I have um I never would have skied as much as I did it really helped me to along make my ski days longer so um we are having uh great feedback I've never I haven't had much uh feedback in the negative I can't even think of any feedback that I've had in the negative about our product um but yeah it's uh um one thing that I totally skipped that I should probably talk about is how the cvd affects how it works in our body why um why are we our people feeling relief anxiety relief pain relief from this so in our body we have the system that has only been found I think it was probably around the mid 90s when they discovered it they were looking into why cannabis has effects on on people and they found the system which they entitled it the endocannabinoid system so it's a system inside your body that is uh it's basically present in everyone's body and it helps to keep the homeostasis of your body so I look at it at like goldilocks you know you don't want your porridge too hot you don't want it too cold you want it just right and what the cvd does is it helps to keep that um uh that balance in your body level so the endocannabinoid system is hooked to it's got sensors all over it took to your digestive system it took to your brain everything and what it does is um just you know it really wants to keep your body in balance if you know inflammation it tries to get that inflammation fixed so all the receptors in there so what the cvd does is it kind of just helps keep that focused on keeping your body aligned I find I mean it helps with um well one one testimony that I have is of my own is my son my son's five years old and he's been taking this product for two years for seizure disorder and uh he had he was diagnosed when he was three um we were at Dartmouth so the doctor said to us you know we have two options for you to um for medicine for him and they both were scary to say the least you know there's the side effects where one was autism one was liver failure and to give a three-year-old something that may cause his liver to failure fail is wasn't in our card so I said to the doctor you know our friends just started a cvd company we'd really like to give this your shot first and um he said to us he's like well I can't tell you to give it to him and I can't tell you not to give it to him he's like the only thing I could tell you it won't hurt him so give it a shot if he hasn't his next seizure we'll get him on medicine he's been two years now seizure free without any medicine so that's my personal you know feeling why you know I trust trust this product and um really it's it's an amazing it's amazing thing to me because the reason I joined this company was that reason by itself um the fact that I I've got this joy now from you know not having to worry for the last two years about my son is is great I want other people to feel the same way so I'm out here trying to push our product trying to get people to be open to cvd um I always say uh it's not a it's not a magic bullet it's not going to fix everything it might not fix anything but it is worth a shot and um you know I'm uh I really think if you're taking this internally I highly suggest talking with a doctor about it because with other medications that you might be taking you don't know how it'll react because there really isn't too much uh information out there about that so you do want a doctor that would be on board with this I mean I know again from personal experience my mother is on blood thinners and um what one article I read said that uh cvd can also make blood thinners work better so you wouldn't need a high dosage but you really have to regulate that with your doctor but personally I don't trust my mother's doctor so I said I said to him I'm like I don't want her she doesn't take it internally she uses the rub for her arthritis which is giving her plenty of relief and um you know but you really do you need to have a doctor that will um will be on board with you and and help you to dial in the right amounts of everything that you should take so um we answer before I go over some of our products I would love to see if there's any questions that you could do yes I'm really interested in so if you're using the rub you can get like like yesterday put on a tiger tiger bomb tiger bomb yes and I think it's a heat reaction or something that distracts you from your discomfort but I don't actually um I does it enter your bloodstream I guess it's a question well um your skin is your biggest receptor on your body so it does enter through your skin not um not to a strong point I mean when you're putting on a rub it's getting more localized so if you're using on your hands you're going to feel it in your hands it's not going to be a whole body thing you're going to feel it where you're putting it on um you know a lot of the rub since we do like our body balm is a great moisturizer rub so people use it sore elbows and you know they'll it'll moisturizer elbows as well as give them a little um a little uh help on with some pain um I find the you know being more localized you could really I mean I don't think it's going to get into your bloodstream it might a little bit but nothing nothing like taking it internally putting a couple drops under your tongue and getting into your system that way localizing you're just localizing the spot that you're looking really to get relief yes I just appreciated repeated the questions oh absolutely absolutely my other question is I was just reading about um histamine intolerance and um one of the things I read you know I'm having posting was talking about full spread spectrum versus isolate and it's her opinion that full spectrum aren't is it good if you have do you have any I don't think it's pretty uh so it's your question right um so her question was uh um difference between isolate and full spectrum hemp and uh you said a histamine apparently she thinks that actually if you have a histamine intolerance it can cause anxiety but she's saying that TBD or if you mean I think this is very specific to me but if you have a histamine intolerance spectrum well I you know I the the histamine thing I have no clue on that I I definitely can't answer that I can't explain the difference between like an isolate and the full spectrum so um so CBD is just one part of the hemp plan so full spectrum you're getting all 110 so you know there may be something in there that uh that may react that way because you are getting a more broad spectrum of of cannabinoids and terpenes than you are with the isolate the isolate so it was like CBD is just an isolate here it's like a guy with a guitar okay and then if you're looking at the uh full spectrum it's a full band borns and all so you know the sound is bigger it's better but you're still and you're still enjoying that singing guitar because it's it's good music but that full band is a whole different experience so you are getting more and that's the one thing with full spectrum uh all of those different terpenes and and cannabinoids that are in there it you know it very well could I don't have the the research on that but I would like to look that up just to see absolutely yes is this for arthritis was the question um it can be we have a lot of people that use this for arthritis my mother like I said is one of them she has terrible arthritis in her hands and our warming rub and our cooling rub have both worked with her very well uh our warming rub has got is an arnica based rub so it's got arnica lemon ginger plus our CBD so you are getting a double whammy with that arnica and then the calendula is a good skin toning uh flower so uh between that and the peppermint that's in there that gives that kind of cooling effect has worked both for my mother and for many of our customers have I talked about price I'm not yet but I do have I have sheets and everything for you so you could check it all out I'll make sure everyone walks with a pamphlet on our our products and the pamphlet on the farm as well so you have some something to reference yes are the products available in any stores locally yes locally um for sure there yeah right around here we have it at chef's market down in downtown uh Randolph um going down I mean we're just in Bethel so the Bethel sandwich shop uh going into killington there's places I mean we're all over the place but we could you could also buy online as well and we do ship everywhere in the United States so there are many ways to to get it yes you mentioned or sleep how is that adjusted and on their side of it um well uh my a lot of people do use it for sleep uh the ashwagandha honey we have uh two honeys that we do we do our regular honey which is just the Champlain Valley aviaries honey and we also have this ashwagandha honey which is uses a powdered root of the ashwagandha plant which is the ashwagandha is known for um helping with sleeplessness and anxiety as well so a lot of people put that in a cup of tea with a teaspoon of honey and that helps calm them down uh side effects every everybody's body is different so to know what exact kind of side effects there could be I mean when I take it I have no side effects I just I mean I'm drinking it right now so I always like a little honey in my tea um but yeah the side effects that's really a personal thing I I can't really talk about what side effects there are on it but I know my wife sleeps very well when she has a cup of the ashwagandha tea so my family is a very big practitioner of our products so I use them a lot when I'm talking to people just because that is my personal experience with it and and it's nothing positive so um but like I said the that's the honey is usually what I see people using the most for that yes there is always a potential there's always a potential conflict that's why I always say you must it's if you are taking medication I highly highly suggest talking to your doctor and and being on board with him as well to monitor things um like so there's not a lot of um I mean there is a lot of things happening now with uh studies on medications um they really haven't been put too many that are published right now but uh I I mean I'm not going to take that risk and say oh yeah there's not going to nothing's going to happen like I know something could happen with any kind of medication that you're taking if you're adding a different substance that you don't know so highly suggest talking to a doctor about it for sure yes the flower yeah um so yeah actually we actually have someone right now who um who approached us about three weeks ago wanting all the stems that we have to make paper so right now we're just giving it to him and to see what he could do because I mean right now this is a this is a really really amazing time for um for hemp products and in different ways of using it because really the hemp plant for years has been used for for building materials and and paper and twine and everything and now I think people are starting to see the potential of what could happen you know like to make paper how many acres of trees do you need to make one set of paper and then and then you have to let that grow back whereas you could get double the amount in half the growing season and a third of the growing season with the hemp so there's a lot of things that are happening you know industrial hemp if you notice I mean driving around the state there are hemp fields everywhere far and wide far and wide and most a lot of those are going towards building materials right now they're doing a hemp creep so there's really not a lot of waste with that and everything that we don't give him like because we're you know we're limping everything all the stocks are still in the ground those get mowed that those get mowed back into the ground for next season it just another amendment to the to the ground for us too yes and then that's that's the thing that processing is there's not that many process so the question was where are people uh processing their hemp um lucky for us we have a process you know we had someone from for three years now and he is 100 our processor there's there's about three or four processors now in the state and what people are finding with with all the hemp that's out there is they don't know what to do with it you know they put it in the ground and figuring well they're going to do something with it but to process it is a big ordeal and most of the processors are full so some people are going out of state um and some people I don't even know I have people coming up to me all the time at demo saying hey I've got 500 plants of hemp in the ground do you want them we're like no no thank you we'll use our own so um you are finding that uh you know people are having a hard time figuring out what to do with it when it's done and yes um yeah they can um they could do like one or two frosts um nothing too serious but um like I said we're still harvesting right now we've had about three frosts on the farm small frosts they have they weren't too bad but they won't those are very hardy plants so one or two frosts I don't think we'll we'll harm them but I mean any frost is tough on a plant but um they could survive yes sir double blind what taste test studies oh studies um that I'm not 100% sure and I know we haven't done we are doing one study of our own on um uh uh blood tests on um so we have one uh one sales rep who she's uh she's a she's an angel she doesn't drink she doesn't smoke she doesn't do anything out of the on the edge and so she took double the recommended dosage for 30 days and went for a cdl test uh blood test and she showed up negative on that so I mean we are doing some of our own testing now she's doing a 90-day follicle test to see if it'll test for thc levels which so far there has not been any so that's one of the testings we've done is that but we do we do test the oil our soil gets tested and then we also do the third party testing too for our product anything else yes um you mentioned beginning that in the extraction process the troops are taken out and added back in is only the cdb extracted or you mentioned cdm and so everything right uh everything is extracted so do you view your product as full spectrum 100% yes yeah we are a full spectrum product okay yeah but like I said and and there are the trace amounts but so far we've had you know double the recommended dosages for 30 days and it came clean on a thc test so you know it's even though it's full spectrum you're not getting that you know positive testing there's a story the news not your product another product in the state yeah a man just a rub and um he took a blood test for a um a job and we found out he was thc and so he failed that test I you know and if he says he's just using a rub I I have a hard time believing he wasn't he wasn't using the devil's lettuce I mean that's just my personal opinion you know like I mean if you're using something externally for to get into your blood system like that I mean unless he's using a straight thc rub that's yeah I don't you know if if he said he was using our product I would oh well I know I know but if he said he was I wouldn't I would I would fight that to the end that but you know it's it's it's a possibility I don't see that I I mean I can't see that happening using a rub but who knows weird things have happened anything else for question ones or yes there well you know here's the one thing about the cvd world right now it's like the wild west um there's a lot of places out there that I mean there is no regulation right now on cvd that should be coming in 2020 they said there's a lot of regulations coming out which is good for us because it'll make the cream rise and it'll weed out a lot of part of the pump will weed out some of the other companies there um but yeah I'm uh I'm sorry I lost the question as I was going strength yeah so um so you know we we do have different strength bottles but they're just different the strength is the same it's just different amounts in each bottle so you know and that stays consistent through the year and you would see that with our coas um you you would see that you know it's the same level straight across the board when you're doing other forms of extraction uh either the lipid extraction or an ethanol extraction there can be variations in strength too um because it's not as controlled any other questions well uh let me see um let me go over some of our products um as well so since we're here I'll go over our line so obviously the first one we have is the honey and which is our the honey is uh Champlain Valley apiaries honey infused with our cvd the full spectrum so there's 360 milligrams in this which we always recommend starting low and slow you know it takes time for the cvd to build up and you know you don't need to start high if you think oh I need more I'm in a lot of pain or I have so much anxiety and you want to start just you know start low and see if that works for you if it works for you awesome then you could stay low so 10 milligrams is the dosage that we say in here and um that's about 36 teaspoons so well each teaspoon is 10 milligrams there's 36 teaspoons in here so this is um one of my favorite products and then we also have the ashwagandha honey as well which is the same honey but we use the ashwagandha root in there and ashwagandha root is been known as well for um helping with sleeplessness anxiety so this is what most people use if they're looking for a little bit better rests people will tend to lean more towards this for that and then um our extracts we have our this is our um our mother oil the extract so it's a beautiful nice golden color and that's like the kind of the color you want to see in this you know green like it's there's some stuff that looks just really bad but this is like beautiful color and 0.25 milliliters so this is marked all the way down the 0.25 milliliters is bottom line here it's right about right about there you can see it is a dosage right there so that's 12 and a half milligrams of CBD so would that be like what you have given your son for yes so what we were doing is um um for the first year it was about 50 milligrams a week 10 milligrams a day um in some he likes elderberry syrup so we would put it in there and he would just drink the elderberry syrup we're down about 20 milligrams a week so um so 10 um 10 in the beginning and then if he's getting like uh uh you know some of the stuff that he has would would be brought on by uh fevers or lights um so if we're you know we um a music fan as well so taking him to some concerts you know he's given a little extra dosage of it or if he's starting to get a fever if he's not feeling well we'll give him a little bit extra but right now we're kind of weaned him down for that as well um the same thing goes for animals too um a lot of people like this the extract for their pets it they tell us that it really uh it helps with separation anxiety or you know 4th of July fireworks uh catamount pet supply in Rutland is probably one of our biggest um wholesalers because you know people love their animals and all these products are safe for dogs um I use the honey with my dog because he has like a lot of allergies he's a golden he's get all the goopy eyes but being a local honey as well I mix that in with his food um it helps with his allergies so he doesn't get all the goopy eyes and stuff so it can't be used for animals just as well as humans Do you know how much she's gave at 10? I've never stressed up yet. Yeah um I don't I don't know I mean there's so I listen to I get a lot of my information there's a CBD talk podcast all right and she talks to a lot of venture veterinarians and it's full of information she'll much better than I could explain um yeah that that's the CBD talk podcast um she goes in she uh with uh dogs cats she has veterinarians from all over the country and it's really full of information so I would highly check that out so and then also going on our products again we have our balm like this is our oil so this is a straight coconut oil um and our infused CBD um our body balm has sunflower oil cocoa butter beeswax coconut oil and then the hemp extract and vitamin E oil so this is the stuff that is really good for moisturizing and some people do get a lot of relief from that and then we have my favorite the warming rub this is the uh this is what got me personally through ski season um I have a little tendonitis in my knee so before I go out I would always put that on and just you know in about 20 minutes I feel good and my my day would extend and then afterwards before I go to bed I'd rub it on again and you know it definitely helped me for paying on my knee for sure so I noticed you didn't mention the prices of anything oh I've got all the prices right here yeah here I'll let me pass these out thank you you got it yeah so and also what I'll hand out for you guys too is a little information on the farm this is a little full that has our extraction method from start to finish in there a little bit about the collective which is our nine farms that that grow for us and then well it is external so skin right um yeah I would definitely be a little bit cautious about that um like I I said my mom's taking me internally with her blood thinner no if you if you don't have a doctor on board I would not suggest using it yes yes everything is listed and we try to keep it simple usually no more than five ingredients in one of our in one of our products but and also just to let you guys know as well this crop for 2019 that we just um that we just harvested is also Vermont certified organic so it took us three years to get to that point but we are this year's crop is certified organic too so there has been no pesticides or anything used on these plants lots of ladybugs yes no no um we we start fresh seeds every year we get from the person that we get the seeds from he he puts aside those seeds for us every year we like to get them from the source so we know they're on the up and up because you know there could be cross pollination that happens so we don't want to use seeds that I mean yeah we could make the seeds and they're probably the same seeds but I'd rather go to the source um yeah yes um yeah you you know he does a couple straight this is his strain he came up with this strain the box of tiva uh b e o x and then sativa anybody else have any questions or anything or as we could go right on to sampling right now yes sir um you're you're usually looking at a 50 percent rate of male to females um we were right around 51 percent this year so um it's it's not the cheapest but it is the best quality um the first year we had a couple different um you know 2015 we had a couple different areas with a couple different varieties of seeds set up to see what um worked best in the Vermont atmosphere you know in the ground um so we found that the box of tiva gave us the best flower with the conditions in Vermont so that's why we stuck with that and then also is a great consistency too anybody else yes um in my experience doctors really don't know much and especially if they're related to Gifford they don't say anything that they know we discovered is um related to the best um so how you know we should talk to our doctors of course but in my experience I know they do more than they do right so do you have any advice on how any of us can help or that the people want more to bring it up to up to up to speed up right um you know I to be honest I think really um just talking to them about it and showing showing the concern you have about it or not the concern but the current concern for them not knowing you know um I think that I think with the more people that are bringing CBD into doctors offices with questions the more doctors are going to want to know what's going on you know sure and there are studies out there and WebMD I'm sure has plenty of studies um there are some there are um the USA well I don't know if it's I can't think of the name of the company but there are a ton of studies out there that are doing work right now and you could find them online um you could and usually if you push it don't put in like CBD put in cannabidiol and and you'll see a whole slew of reports and documents of um that people are are working on right now I really it's it's up to them to to do the research but you know they have to kind of get that little push to to to get to that point yes oh great awesome summer summer on board yeah make them oh yeah exactly that's a lot of them are just like just go for it why not but you know what though they they really do the the doctors are starting to do more research because this is becoming an everyday thing for everybody and and I think the less medication that that people have to take you know if this is what helps them to take less medication then by all means um the doctors need to look at it um yes right and that's that's all with the study going in on the endocannabinoid system that all has that's like the cv1 and cv2 receptors in your body I believe the cv1 receptor is you're not doing no no we're not doing the studies we yeah we don't have I mean we're a mom and pop company right now we're we're work you know we'll we'll let the the doctors and who know what well yes yeah everything you know that's out there all the research since that's being done that's what that's what we go by and I mean that's really what anyone can go by unless you have the money to put up you know there are probably I guarantee out in Colorado there's a couple of cvd companies that are putting time and effort into research for sure and I mean that's just something that you'd have to look online and see who is doing it and and how they are doing it anybody else right well I appreciate you listening to me rant for a little bit here I do have if anyone is interested in trying any samples of anything I'm going to stick around here for a while and we could talk a little bit up close and like I said if you want to try anything I'm here to let you try all right thank you absolutely thank you so much
