The Research Keeps Growing and So Does Our Belief in Hemp

If you’ve been following Whole Circle Farms on Facebook and Instagram lately, you may have noticed a theme: research. Lots and lots of research.

After all these years of growing hemp, making CBD products, navigating regulations, and hearing countless stories from our customers, we continue to be amazed by how much scientific interest there is in this plant.

And the research keeps coming.

Recently, we’ve been sharing studies and research looking at CBD, hemp, and cannabinoids from many different angles:

This Is Why We Keep Sharing the Science

CBD isn’t simply a trend that appeared a few years ago. The cannabis plant has been around for thousands of years. Scientists around the world continue to study cannabinoids and the body’s endocannabinoid system, asking important questions about pain, inflammation, sleep, stress, neurological health, recovery, and much more.

Some findings are encouraging. Others are preliminary and need larger, better-controlled studies. That is exactly how good science works.

And we think people deserve to know that this research is happening.

For Us, It’s Also Personal

We know exactly where the hemp in our products came from.

Our farm. Our soil. Our certified organic ground.

We grew it here at Whole Circle Farms in Oregon, and we have taken enormous pride in producing high-quality hemp and turning it into products we feel good about offering to our customers.

That matters to us.

We also know how many obstacles this industry has faced: changing regulations, increasing costs, additional licensing requirements, and continuing efforts that could remove many hemp derived products from the marketplace.

And yet, while the regulatory debate continues, so does the research.

That is why we will keep sharing it.

We encourage you to follow our Facebook and Instagram pages, read the studies we post, ask questions, and learn along with us. We’ll continue highlighting new research as it becomes available. Not because every study provides a final answer, but because together they are helping us understand this remarkable plant.

Hemp deserves good science.
Consumers deserve good information.
And you deserve to know what’s in the products you choose.

Thank you for continuing to support Whole Circle Farms and locally grown, Oregon hemp.

With gratitude,
