About Us - Carmichaels Farmer Grown

Quality for over 227 years.

Since 1797, our family has proudly cultivated the land in North Carolina, passing down our legacy of crafting top-notch farm products. Now, we are thrilled to offer you the opportunity to experience the fruits of our labor firsthand.

With the rise of industrialized farming, consumers have become disconnected from the origins of their farm products. Our mission is to facilitate a meaningful connection between people and the individuals and locations behind the products they use.

Where are you from?

Do you ever wonder about the origins of the products you buy? Many brands simply act as middlemen, sourcing their products from various suppliers without being able to provide transparency about their origins. Unlike these commercial products, we are committed to ensuring that you know exactly where your products come from.

Do you know who grew the hemp in the last product you purchased? Do you know where it was grown?

What our competitors sell.

Based on industry research and market analysis, approximately 80-85% of CBD products currently available on the market are white label products. This staggeringly high percentage reflects the low barriers to entry and cost-effectiveness of the white label business model in the CBD industry.

White label CBD products are a widespread business model in the hemp and cannabis industry, allowing companies to sell CBD products without actually manufacturing them. In this approach, vendors partner with large-scale contract manufacturers who produce generic CBD products that can be easily branded and customized. These manufacturers create a base range of products like tinctures, gummies, topicals, and capsules, which are essentially identical across multiple brands. Vendors simply select pre-existing product formulations from the manufacturer’s catalog, choose their desired packaging design, and add their company logo and branding. The manufacturer then handles production, filling, labeling, and sometimes even shipping the products directly to the vendor’s customers.

This model allows entrepreneurs to enter the CBD market quickly and with minimal upfront investment in manufacturing infrastructure. The overwhelming majority of online CBD retailers, small supplement companies, and even some larger wellness brands rely on white label manufacturing. This means that most consumers purchasing CBD products are actually buying very similar, if not identical, formulations that have simply been rebranded with different packaging and marketing.

Here are the key negatives associated with white label CBD hemp supply:

1. Inconsistent Quality and Potency White label manufacturers often prioritize cost over quality, leading to significant variations in hemp sourcing. Different suppliers may have dramatically different cultivation practices, resulting in CBD extracts with inconsistent cannabinoid profiles, varying levels of contaminants, and unpredictable potency. This inconsistency means that the same white label product can have markedly different effects or quality between production batches.

2. Lack of Transparency Most white label manufacturers deliberately obscure their hemp sourcing, making it difficult for consumers to trace the origin of their CBD products. Many brands cannot (or will not) provide detailed information about: Specific farms where hemp was grown Exact cultivation methods Full pesticide and heavy metal test results Complete extraction processes Potential Contamination Risks With multiple suppliers and large-scale production, there’s increased risk of: Pesticide contamination Heavy metal presence Potential cross-contamination during bulk processing Inconsistent third-party testing protocols Higher likelihood of introducing foreign substances during extraction Environmental and Sustainability Concerns

3. White label manufacturers frequently prioritize cost-cutting over sustainable practices. This can lead to: Environmentally damaging hemp cultivation methods Higher carbon footprint from transportation of hemp across multiple locations Less attention to soil health and regenerative agricultural practices Potential exploitation of smaller hemp farmers through bulk purchasing Ethical and Agricultural Challenges

4. The white label model often: Reduces individual farmer compensation Creates a commodity-driven approach to hemp production Minimizes the unique characteristics of specific hemp genetics Encourages monocropping and less diverse agricultural practices

5. Regulatory Compliance Risks With multiple hemp suppliers, there’s increased complexity in maintaining consistent: THC level compliance State and federal regulatory standards Accurate labeling and product representation Documentation of hemp origin and processing

Our hemp is grown on our farm in North Carolina.

What we sell.

Our Farmer-made CBD products offer superior quality and transparency compared to white label alternatives. By cultivating and processing hemp directly on our farm, we maintain complete control over every stage of production, from seed selection to final extraction. Unlike white label products, which are often mass-produced in generic facilities with minimal oversight, our farmer-made CBD ensures higher standards of cultivation, using sustainable farming practices, carefully selected genetics, and sustainable growing techniques. As a small-scale producer, we can meticulously monitor soil quality, avoid harmful pesticides, and personally oversee the entire manufacturing process, resulting in a more pure, potent, and traceable product. Additionally, our farmer-made CBD supports local agriculture and provides consumers with a more authentic, artisanal product that reflects the dedication and expertise of our family rather than the impersonal, bulk-manufacturing approach of white label brands.
