Now that we’ve explored the history of hemp and the challenges in hemp farming, it’s important to discuss what’s 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.

"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), marijuana’s secondary active ingredient. In a small 2013 study,¹ CBD users cut cigarette intake by 40%."
