Sustainable Hemp
At Whole Circle Farms we believe that the term sustainable is used to characterize a product or to assume good stewardship of the land.
We can assure you that we want to live and farm in an environment that we can contribute to producing, protecting, and encouraging the perpetuity of our farm, and our community. The benefits of farming organically are endless. We often note that in the "olden days” all the food was produced organically. It was the norm of farming. Then as pesticides and herbicides became popular, so did oil based commercial fertilizer, and of lately GMO's to our food system. This has allowed the organic industry to offer an alternative and became our way of life.
When we returned to Oregon in 2014 after farming in California for 21 years we explored many crops to invest in. We met with several farmers and the Oregon small farms extension and absorbed as much information as we could gather. We went to the Farmers markets, explored crops, growing seasons, water usage, and diseases. We wanted a sustainable crop and in 2015 Oregon was on the cusp of approving industrial hemp and issuing licenses. We were nervous, hesitant, and virtually ignorant of the pleasant intricacies of the magical cannabis plant. We researched endlessly and became excited by the healing properties of hemp. This plant seemed too good to be true, so we jumped in head-first and planted our first crop in 2016.

Suzy Lindgren2022-03-04I have struggled with insomnia and other chronic health conditions for over a decade. Rochelle, Peter and the Whole Circle Farms family are so knowledgeable and passionate about their CBD products, and they should be! Their different products have helped me so much in so many ways and are the best on the market, in my opinion. I love that their their beautiful farm is certified Kind and certified organic. I believe as they do that the quality of the soil and environment is crucial to growing the highest quality herbal medicine. Be sure to try the teas, salves, and neck wrap as well as the mints. You will be glad you did!
L Dennis2022-03-04My husband and I have used 2 of Whole Circle Farm products and greatly appreciate them. When my arthritis flares I use the drops under my tongue and both of us use the stick form for specific areas. It rolls up like a stick deodorant and is so easy to apply. And it is helpful! Give it a try.
Best of Vapor2022-03-03Rochelle and Peter Koch truly are the best in the business! No other products out on the market even begin to compare with Whole Circle Farm’s. When it comes to certified organic hemp flower, you will not find a wider selection on the internet of strains. Not to mention, they offer the best prices. Aside from that, I really do believe that they have the best QUALITY products on the market. Rochelle and Peter Koch are the most honest, transparent, and kindest individuals I personally have ever met in this industry and I will only spend my money with them. They put a face to the brand and proudly stand behind their products. On their Instagram page, they literally post pictures of the organic certifiers driving up onto their property to certify their products organic - free of pesticides and toxic chemicals. You can’t get more transparent than that! Their products have had such a positive, transformative impact on my life and I will support their business for as long as I’m alive! We love you guys, and we’re so thankful for everything you do!

Nicole Hardin2022-02-24Whole Circle Farms puts a lot of thought and love into their farm and goods. You can tell that even from a sample. I got a couple of samples from them recently and I absolutely love their CBD gel. It felt amazing going on, smelled amazing, and worked well! I’d highly recommend their products!!
