A recent New York Times article was published about the origin of www.ProjectCBD.org.  This is a site we have visited countless times over the course of the last four years. It is where we send others in search of information and research about CBD.  We have always felt like we could trust the information on […]

Humans have an incredible variety of skin types, but one thing we have in common is the desire for a healthy complexion. CBD Facial Oil can help us all look our best. Of course, we should all be skeptical of claims that a product has “anti-aging” properties. Still, there are reasons to believe that CBD […]

We hear this concern and sympathize with the sentiment. As a working-class family farm in rural Vermont, we appreciate a good bargain as much as anyone. On the surface, it may seem that CBD production is simple (just grow a weed), but that is far from the case. The best means of growing, extracting, processing, […]

“NEK Hemp CBD oils let me ski for hours and then get up the next day and do it all over again. When I was training for the Olympics I was often skiing, running, biking, and in the gym for 3 or 4 hours a day with lots of high-intensity sessions and other hard workouts […]

The time for CBD to enter the sporting world is upon us. Most pro sports leagues are relaxing rules for cannabis by raising the threshold of allowed THC. The NHL no longer even punishes players for a “failed” test. With MLB following suit and both NBA and NFL negotiating new collective bargaining agreements, 2020 could […]

At NEK Hemp, we love winter sports and have been adventuring in Vermont’s snowy mountains and forests since we were kids.

At NEK Hemp, we encourage our customers to start low and slowly increase the dosage. We recommend this approach not because too much CBD will harm you (like […]

Many travelers have asked whether they can take CBD on planes. NEK Hemp products are all federally compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill and therefore are legal to carry in airports and on planes.

Hemp growers got a Halloween Trick or Treat when the USDA released new regulations on October 31st.

As Big Corporations move into the CBD marketplace with massive investments, prices are dropping as hemp becomes a commodity. Consumers can now buy CBD anywhere, at most gas stations and grocery stores. However, the quality and price of CBD products vary tremendously. Critically, the effectiveness of cheap brands is not even close to that of […]

Since we started growing hemp three summers ago, we have only used organic methods in the fields.  But even years before that, our family farm was managed sustainably.  We are stewards of the land and intend to keep farming for generations.  There are many important aspects of our organic practices.  We test our soil then […]

Artisanal hemp growers strive for small-batch, hand-tended, carefully cured, high-quality flower. In other words, hemp farmers looking to sell craft flower need to have a close relationship with every plant. This hands-on process starts at the cloning or seeding stage, through the transplanting phase, fertilizing, watering, pruning, inspecting, harvesting, curing, storing, and finally hand trimming. […]

When NEK Hemp grew their first crop a few summers ago, there was hope for big profits. However, the market for high-quality hemp proved to be more complicated. Hemp biomass must be processed into CBD oil, and the capacity in New England was much less than needed to serve Vermont farmers. After much consideration, NEK […]

Many customers ask us what makes our Full Spectrum CBD rich products better than those without THC. The answer is very simple, trace levels of THC serve a critical function in the entourage effect.

Coffee and CBD are a perfect match, as they bring out the best in each other. Coffee boosts alertness, energy, and metabolism, which is why most Americans consume the beverage as part of their daily routine.

Horses like people have an Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The receptor system interacts with cannabinoids, such as CBD, to maintain overall homeostasis within the body.

Consumers looking for the most effective remedy should stay away from CBD isolate or Hemp oil with THC mitigation aka broad spectrum. THC in small doses is not bad for you, nor does it get you high, but it does have medical benefits. So ignore the prohibitionists who deploy fear mongering and appeals to reefer […]

According to The Week, America has CBD Mania. The popularity is booming, but a 2017 University of Pennsylvania study examined CBD […]

There are many options to extract components from hemp. The three most common are Butane, Ethanol, and Supercritical CO2 Extraction. We easily ruled out Butane due to the number of explosions and the toxic residue in the the final product. We can not endorse a process and product that pose significant health risks. We also […]

It is hard to believe that today is Thanksgiving, although looking outside it looks more like Christmas here in the Northeast Kingdom.  Nearly a year has gone by since we introduced our very first, Vermont grown by Vermont’s Own, CBD product.  We are so thankful for the family, friends, healthcare providers and retail partners who […]

We started giving our ten year old golden retriever, Digger, CBD oil several months ago, in hopes that it would help with his aches and pains.  It wasn’t long before we noticed an improvement in his ability to get up and get moving in the mornings.  His coat also seemed to improve.  We found several […]

People often ask if they should start with our CBD lotion for pain relief, or one of our CBD tinctures.  Typically I suggest that if you are looking to purchase one product, start with a sublingual tincture in order to get CBD into your system, so that it can start working toward homeostasis in your […]

Another question that we get asked often is,  “How much CBD should I take?”  Like most other questions surrounding CBD, this one doesn’t have a simple, one-size-fits-all answer.  If you start by looking at the label on a particular brand of CBD product you may, or may not, find any answer at all!  Remember that […]

At Saturday’s SKI-BD event at […]
