We know that when people think intergenerational farm, they probably don’t think CBD. Which is exactly why we decided to add the sticky, majestic hemp plant to our fields in 2019. We wanted to create a CBD product that supports a diverse farm ecosystem and that our neighbors can trust, which means transparency from seed to final bottle or jar. After building our robust hemp business from the ground up, we decided to dedicate ourselves to growing heirloom grain and getting it stone-milled into nourishing flour to offer to our community.

Fiddler’s Green is named after Chris’ grandfather (Ben’s great-grandfather) who started care taking the land in 1946. It’s an old navy reference, but we like it because it brings a sense of music. 

In music a harmony has parts and those parts create something that is felt not only heard. On our farm we work across generations tending plants and animals that create a supportive ecosystem – bees pollinate the flowers whose roots feed the soil microbes who bring nutrients to our hemp plants, wheat, rye, and medicinal herbs.

Our products too are layered like a melody, using lavender and mint and rose, not only for their glorious scents, but also because of the healing properties they add to the power of CBD. Plants like arnica and comfrey lend nutritive elements that target common wellness concerns. 

You won’t find artificial coloring in our gummies (their colors come from plant-based hues of beets) or high-fructose corn syrup. What you will find is CBD extracted from the flowers of organically grown hemp plants at standard therapeutic levels, as well as ethically sourced ingredients like Fair Trade shea butter and organic essential oils in our hand-crafted salves and soaks.
