Nature is alive, without corners.
Nature rarely has corners! Nature meanders, spirals, curves like a river, branches like the veins in a leaf, or in us.
Just as nature doesn’t cut corners, we don’t either. It all starts at the farm, Mt. Folly, where we grow organic hemp, organic corn, rye, sunflowers, wheat and soybeans, along with pasture-raised cattle, pigs and goats.
The CBD and full-spectrum cannabinoids are distilled from the plant with the cleanest process, CO2 extraction. Our chocolates and caramels are made in partnership with local chocolatier, in business for more than 100 years!
Mt. Folly is the place where in 1984, no-antibiotic, no-growth hormone beef was invented, now Laura’s Lean Beef. Here, we raise the grain for Regeneration Distillery, whose popular whiskey brand, Boone’s Settlement Rye Whiskey, is grown on land once owned by Daniel Boone. It’s farm to bottle whiskey, aged in our tobacco barns, and only sold in Kentucky (sorry out of towners).
Our grain and hemp are USDA-certified organic. First, this means we use no pesticides, herbicides, or commercial fertilizer, which is either mined, or produced using mostly Russian natural gas. As a regenerative organic farm, we grow our fertility first, with nitrogen-fixing cover crops such as vetch, Austrian winter peas, and crimson clover.
Our soils are made even more healthy by integrating livestock with our crop ground, spreading compost, and most recently biochar, the terra preta (black earth) first discovered in the Amazon basin.
Indeed, in an American Farmland Trust study, Mt. Folly was found to have the most soil life compared to other farms in the national study.
Hemp is One of Nature’s Crown Jewels
As we age, low-grade inflammation throughout the body becomes a major contributor for a wide range of diseases and conditions including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, cancer, and other autoimmune diseases.
The brain diseases include Alzheimer’s, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson’s, and the autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis and Crohn’s disease.
Studies published by the National Institutes of Health and others show at that full-spectrum CBD provides anti-inflammatory benefits. The hypothesis is that CBD acts on several signaling pathways, suppressing inflammatory cytokines and reducing leukocyte counts.
While the research is relatively new and ongoing, full-spectrum CBD has proven to be well tolerated. Because it contains a small about of THC, it can cause people who take it to fail a drug test. But rest assured that our current products will not make you “stoned.”
Because of this, Mt. Folly is contracting to have the THC removed from its extract. This product will be on the market in January, 2026.
