With the approval of the 2018 Farm Bill, Cannabreeze is leading the way in providing local, organic, non-GMO industrial hemp products in Northern VA. Jeff Boogaard of Breezy Meadow Farms is growing, harvesting, and processing tinctures, creams, juices, and edibles with the benefits of full-spectrum hemp oil containing CBD (Cannabinoids). CBD is thought to help with general stress and tension in the muscles, reduce anxiety, and aid in the treatment of illnesses such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and PTSD, with no side effects. Like fatty acids, CBD has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, which may help relieve the tension that many people carry from stress, as well as promote recovery from exercise. Jeff tells us about his operation, his products, and about what it is like to produce hemp in the state of Virgnia.
