Hemp is a budding industry. The Farm Bill federally legalized the hemp plant in 2018, since then, the production + use of hemp derived products (think: CBD and Delta-8) has skyrocketed — with 33% of American adults having used CBD once or more.

Thanks to Midlands-based Indigo Ridge Hemp, Soda Citizens can get high-quality, organic, and locally-made CBD products.

The process

Indigo Ridge sees the product from farm to shelf. All hemp used in its products is grown and sustainably farmed in SC, on one of the only USDA organic hemp farms in the state.

The products are then quality tested by independent, third-party labs.

The products

Indigo Ridge products contain less than 0.3% THC (meaning they're non-psychoactive) and are vegan, non-GMO, and cruelty free.
