Now that weâve explored the history of hemp and the challenges in hemp farming, itâs important to discuss whatâs behind the Meristem Farms label. Our label represents hard work in agriculture, the ingredients we put in our products, the history of cannabis and the work our family has put into bringing these products to your home.
Each season, our farm partners plant our proprietary, Vermont-bred, cannabidiol- and terpene-rich varieties. Farming hemp is a relatively straightforward agricultural endeavor akin to traditional farming practices and a great entry point to sustainable, climate smart agriculture. Â
As Meristem Farms grows and enters new lives, we care about staying rooted, remembering why we started it all and why we wake up every day feeling hopeful and excited to create new products. Our love for the industry goes beyond just cannabis â itâs about the impact, the history, and the changes that mindful products can bring into our society.
Coconut oil has a devoted following for its all-over, multifunctional use inside and outside of the body. For some, it is the ultimate skin moisturizer and post-sun treatment. Â

In recent years, the popularity of hemp flower â and its best-known molecular compound, cannabidiol (CBD) â has increased significantly, making it a household item that many people enjoy when in search of relief from stress, inflammation and anxiety. But despite its popularity, confusion reigns as many don't understand that hemp is âmore than a molecule,â with a range of benefits much broader than CBD alone, or how hemp differs from marijuana (more on this term below), and the differences that come from how hemp is consumed.
"One potential way to make quitting easier and more fun is by switching to pre-made cannabis joints (pre-rolls) that are rich in cannabidiol (CBD), marijuanaâs secondary active ingredient. In a small 2013 study,1 CBD users cut cigarette intake by 40%."
As a community, members of the cannabis industry (especially white ones like us) must unite against the systemic racism and rampant police brutality that have resulted in the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner and far too many others.
