They Specialize In CBD Wellness Products
Penny Kephart manages an acre of hemp, which fits the 1,000 plants necessary to qualify as a licensed grower in Kentucky. Every June, she plants a cultivar known as Stormy Daniels using a 1948 Farmall with a tobacco setter. Harvest takes place once the crop is 4 to 5 ft. tall and has produced amber-colored tassels. Each plant is cut at the base and then hung in her grandfather’s old tobacco barn to dry.
    To comply with regulations, Kephart Acres must contact the state at least 30 days before harvest. The state takes samples to ensure there is no more than 0.3 percent THC and reports the findings within 2 weeks. Each season’s batch is third-party tested for potency and traces of heavy metals and pesticides. This lack of THC means that Kephart Acres products are legal in all 50 states, won’t get you “high,” and aren’t habit-forming.
    The oil is then processed by a USDA-certified facility out of North Carolina. All of the hemp is extracted through a simple, preservative-free lipid system extraction process designed to maintain 99 percent of the plant’s purity and potency. The final product contains natural terpenes like myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, and limonene.
    The resulting oil is used in a variety of wellness products, including D9, Delta-9, full spectrum gummies, CBD body butter, CBD oils suitable for pets and people, hemp soap, body scrubs, hand-poured candles, and more. The farm’s pet-friendly natural CBD oil is blended with wild Alaskan salmon oil. Pricing ranges from $8 to $75, and orders can be shipped across the U.S.
