Having been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic respiratory disease, Moresco was personally invested in finding healthy, homegrown products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moresco says they have intentionally kept the operation small to maintain a high-quality product while ensuring full transparency. Creating CBD oil in small batches at their licensed certified Fort Collins headquarters allows for full traceability and a complete understanding of the genetics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the reasons we extract and formulate in small batches is for quality control,\u201d Moresco explained. \u201cWe can dial in every variable and factor, from our strains and terpene profiles, to our rosin and end products. This creates an extract that has the most efficacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/farmhousehempdog.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53589\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>What also sets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmhousehemp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Farmhouse Hemp<\/a> apart is their all-natural extraction method, which utilizes low\u00a0heat and pressure, as opposed to the industry standard of ethanol and CO2.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Choosing the Rosin Route<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Prior to starting Farmhouse Hemp, Moresco had spent years extracting <a href=\"\/what-is-thc\/\">THC<\/a> from cannabis in\u00a0Colorado. He witnessed first-hand the dirty side of solvent-based extraction and the harmful\u00a0chemicals that can go into it.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"\/?s=rosin+tech\">rosin tech<\/a> extraction method, on the other hand, is completely solventless, and as Moresco\u00a0says, is \u201chands-down one of the safest extraction methods.\u201d By keeping chemicals out, rosin tech makes for a cleaner, healthier product that Farmhouse believes is more effective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith rosin, we can retain everything,\u201d Moresco said, adding that at Farmhouse Hemp, they are\u00a0firm believers in the <a href=\"\/understanding-entourage-effect-cannabis\/\">entourage effect<\/a> \u2013 a synergistic effect in which the many components that\u00a0make up the plant produce a stronger effect on the body combined than alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to keep this the way Mother Nature intended it to be. If we are going to be this vertically integrated company, we need to make sure it\u2019s as close to the whole plant as we can get,\u201d said Farmhouse\u2019s Marketing Director, Jake George.<\/p>\n<p>CO2 and ethanol used in other extraction methods can degrade the oil in terpene and\u00a0cannabinoid retention. With CO2, extracts can contain levels of carbonic acid which can alter the flavor, making it more bitter. George also touches on the sustainability factor of rosin, commenting that it is one of the most sustainable extraction methods on the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have hazardous waste afterward,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the waste we do have can then be 100 percent composted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The compostable waste George refers to is also known as the rosin chip \u2013 what\u2019s left over after\u00a0squishing 60 grams of hemp under a rosin press. Any remaining CBD left in the rosin chip is steam distilled and used to formulate their pet drops. Farmhouse Hemp then takes the rosin chip and explores whether it can still be useful for things like feeding goats and chickens before composting it.<\/p>\n<p>With all the benefits of using the rosin extraction method, one might wonder why more companies aren\u2019t doing it.<\/p>\n<p>But Moresco explains that it\u2019s labor-intensive, and not as economical. He estimates that less\u00a0than one percent of the industry is implementing rosin extraction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompanies looking to make a quick buck will never do rosin because it takes time and money,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/farmhousehempsalve.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53591\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBecause we are vertically integrated and doing everything ourselves, we can cut a tremendous amount of costs by cutting out the middleman,\u201d Moresco said, giving another reason he chooses to keep the operation small. \u201cWe can provide a really high-quality CBD product at a competitive price.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Closing the Transparency Gap<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Farmhouse Hemp\u2019s dedication to maintaining control over all factors of production is driven by\u00a0their underlying goal to close the transparency gap in the cannabis industry. They are able to\u00a0use everything they grow \u2013 no outsourcing is needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted every batch to have full transparency and full traceability,\u201d Moresco said. Before starting Farmhouse Hemp, Moresco says finding testing information for CBD products was extremely difficult, and companies weren\u2019t talking about where their products were grown or what practices they were using.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince hemp picks up everything in the soil, knowing that your hemp is grown on organic soil in a safe place becomes important information,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With a firm belief in the power of transparency, Farmhouse Hemp implements rigorous testing at every single step of the process and will gladly tell consumers about everything in their products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s what they strive for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a difficult industry for consumers to navigate, so for us, it\u2019s about education,\u201d George said. \u201cWe can\u2019t overstate how that is seldom seen in the industry. The onus is on the consumer, so you really have to operate with corporate responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>View the company\u2019s full line of CBD products at<a href=\"http:\/\/farmhousehemp.com\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> farmhousehemp.com<\/a>.
