Charlotte’s Web Achieves Organic Certification

The USDA Organic Seal will now appear on select full-spectrum hemp extract tinctures offered by the company.

Full-spectrum hemp extract company Charlotte’s Web has achieved USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Organic certification at its corporate farm acreage and its 137,000 square foot manufacturing and R&D facility in Louisville, CO. Several of its product lines will now carry the USDA Organic Seal.
 
Charlotte’s Web certified organic tincture products are now available online or at retail stores in Mint Chocolate, Orange Blossom, and Lemon Twist flavors, or in unflavored Olive Oil in 10, 30, or 100 mL sizes. These 12 products, available in 17mg or 60 mg concentrations of plant-based cannabinoids, carry the USDA Organic seal on the label, and contain antioxidants, phytocannabinoids including CBD, terpenes, and other plant compounds.
 
“Farming is governed by a natural law based on give and take, and we have learned the more we give to our soil through organic and regenerative practices, the more we get back,” Ray Sitorius, director of Farming Operations, said. “Earning organic certification validates our land stewardship and Charlotte’s Web’s ongoing commitment to farm in balance with nature and our living soil.”
 
In compliance with federal regulations for certified organic practices, and with the company’s quality and safety standards, these products are produced without GMOs, and are made from hemp grown in U.S. hemp farms with no synthetic pesticides or herbicides. To protect soil quality, Charlotte’s Web farmers use cover crops and crop rotation, and in order to achieve certification, the company maintained USDA certified organic practices on its farm over a three-year inspection period with on-farm inspections by a USDA-accredited certification agency before formal approval.
 
“As a certified B corporation, we hold ourselves accountable to continual improvement from our organic hemp farms to our manufacturing facilities to the retail shelf,” Deanie Elsner, Charlotte’s Web CEO, said. “Organic certification is one more reason Charlotte’s Web is the world’s most trusted hemp extract.”
