Carolina Hemp Company Review

Written by Cathy Rozyczko — Edited by Jason Brett on February 9, 2021

Meet Asheville’s favorite CBD hemp brand! Carolina Hemp Company is full of that small-town charm the South is known for. Although they make just a couple of retail CBD products themselves, their commitment to quality and sustainability is unwavering. This commitment is also reflected in the third-party CBD brands they have chosen to work with. We hope that this fresh-feeling company with a bright future can update their site with test results soon.

Carolina Hemp Company is totally ensconced in the Asheville, North Carolina community. The team helps out with local charities and even has their own trolley — the Hemp Xpress! Now that’s a first. They’ve been around since 2014 as the charming town’s signature hemp company. Carolina Hemp Company has a hemp corner store in Asheville, multiple brick-and-mortar locations in the Southeast, and of course, their online store.

Online, Carolina Hemp Company sells their CBD products as well as many from third-party vendors. For the sake of this review, we’ll only discuss the cannabidiol put out by Carolina Hemp Company, which includes:

• Carolina Hemp Flower (CBD flower)
• Carolina Hemp Naturals (CBD oil)

The brand’s hemp flower is grown sustainably on nearby farms, and you can tell the company is genuinely invested in keeping things as local as they can. Carolina Hemp Company solely uses the hemp flower in their CBD oil, not the stalks and stems. The hemp flower usually is the most potent part of the plant, holding the most cannabinoids and terpenes comparatively.

Carolina Hemp Company extracts their CBD oil with ethanol, so they qualify for our Quality Badge. Their CBD flower and CBD tinctures for people and pets are the honest, simple, straightforward cannabidiol products the brand is known for.

The only negative thing we see about Carolina Hemp Company is their lack of test results for consumers to view online. Since they do pretty well in most of our categories, this could really put them on the map.

Plus, if you’re a CBD vendor these days, no matter how small or big you are, you better have some sort of tests available online. Consumers are becoming increasingly more informed (that’s why we’re here).

Bottom Line – Carolina Hemp Company has a great brand and loyal following, but we’d like to see them post their potency and contaminants tests online for their CBD oil and flower.
