Green Compass founders, Meredith & Sterling Cook, were looking for a trustworthy source of CBD for themselves and their children, so they decided to become that trustworthy source. They partnered with 6th generation farmers, obtained one the first licenses in the NC Hemp Pilot Program, and spent years meticulously cultivating a mother hemp plant with the most beneficial ratio of CBD. Green Compass originally sold only to medical professionals, and began selling to the general public through professional practices and sales "advocates" in February 2019. GC products are sold through independent advocates and can only be sold in businesses who's owners are GC advocates and sell to clients who use their services by appointment (Doctors, Physical Therapists, Trainers, Massage Therapists, Pet Service providers, Salons/Spas, Nutritionists, etc.) Green Compass is the only vertically-integrated direct sales CBD company, meaning they control every step of the process, from planting, to harvesting, processing, bottling, and selling; "Seed-to-Sale" control. The vast majority of CBD products are "white-labeled" (companies who typically buy a low-cost CBD, and put their label on bottles) These pop-up brands have little-to-no regard for quality, and no control over the growing/processing/bottling process! Most pop-up CBD brands on the market source their oil from mass suppliers and China (which is notoriously lacking in regulations to protect consumers)! CBD "value" shoppers have no idea what's actually in the bottles they buy.... is it even CBD? Each bottle of Green Compass CBD has a batch labeling QR code that links the batch in the bottle to a third-party testing report available for every batch of CBD sold. QR code labeling on our bottles that links directly to the batch in the bottle! Many companies now selling CBD are not CBD Companies! They are companies who want to sell CBD products so they find a source of oil to put their label on and wha-lah... they sell CBD too! Essential Oil Companies and other Direct Sales Companies are all now "on the band wagon" offering CBD products too. These companies do not have a commitment to quality and offer CBD products to not miss a sale in this growing CBD market that's exploding! Green Compass is a "CBD-only" company with a commitment to offering organic CBD direct to customers who demand high-quality products from a trusted source. Green Compass hemp is organically grown. In order to be certified organic, the farm has to grow organically for 10 years. Green Compass has always grown hemp organically and Green Compass farms are USDA "Certified Organic". Green Compass uses the hemp flower and young leaves only to produce CBD extracts used in all their products. Other companies use seed, stalk, stem, and flower... hemp seeds and hemp oil contain NO CBD. Green Compass produces CBD extract combined with MCT oil for optimum delivery. (CBD extract should be mixed with a fat for optimum absorption into our cells). Green Compass Natural is CBD extract in MCT Oil. Flavored products use essential oils for flavoring with no additional ingredients. Green Compass CBD oil is clear to pale gold in color. Flower and hemp leaf processing refines the CBD extract to take out any unnecessary plant residue or impurities. Our CBD is "cold extracted" through Supercritical Co2 processing, the gold standard in the industry. Other companies may use chemical solvents or heat processing which damages essential oils in the hemp plants...ultimately affecting the chemical and physical properties of the CBD extracts used for producing mass-market CBD oil products. Green Compass products are produced and shipped by Green Compass direct to buying consumers and also sold through Professionals who offer products in their practices and Advocates who sell through their Green Compass websites. Since Green Compass does not sell CBD oils to other companies, that "middle-man" pricing mark-up is eliminated and high-quality CBD at an affordable price is made available to consumers. Green Compass CBD is priced comparably to other reputable CBD brands. Customers can benefit by a 20% "Preferred Customer" discount when they set up a monthly recurring order. "You get what you pay for"...if a consumer is shopping for CBD products and see options for half the price, these products most likely are not CBD, or at the very least not quality CBD. Poor quality CBD will not generate intended health improvements or perhaps none at all. All CBD is not created equally so where CBD is concerned, price can be a reflection of a quality! Green Compass stands behind their products with a 30-day money back guarantee, the ability for Preferred Customers to modify their monthly shipment with no contract commitment, and has an courteous and prompt Customer Service Department!
