Organic Green Roots is a small organic hemp farm near Portland, Oregon, inspired by a personal experience in 2016.
Hi. My Name is Potato.
My pug, Potato, (13 years old at the time) suddenly began having grand mal cluster seizures. The initial seizures increased in frequency and within a day he was having a seizure every 2 hours. The vet suggested I give him strong pharmaceuticals (with some scary side effects). These drugs needed 2 weeks before full results could be obtained. I was aware of the success children were experiencing with CBD and epilepsy and the low side effects, so I decided to start with a Full Spectrum CBD tincture first to see how potato would respond.
The next day I gave Potato a few drops of a hemp flower tincture with a high CBD, low THC ratio. After the first dose, his seizures slowed down in frequency and within 24 hours he was seizure free! I continued to give him the hemp tincture every 12 hours and within a week, he recovered all of his lost abilities (an effect of the seizures), he gained a puppy like energy and his long time front leg limp disappeared!
After several months of buying the hemp tincture for Potato, I became interested in growing my own hemp. I really wanted to help other people and pets receive the benefits of hemp. I harnessed my background in business, horticulture, natural medicine (and hard work) and in the spring of 2017, the first seed was planted and Organic Green Roots Hemp Farm began!
Potato lived to be almost 19 years old! He took 5-10mg of our Full Spectrum hemp oil 1-2x a day.
In honor of Potato, we released the same formula he took for over 5 years as a new, full spectrum tincture called, GOOD DOG.
We love you Potato! ♥
What's in a Name
Organic Green Roots embodies a personal connection to both the hemp plant and sustainable agriculture. Our name reflects our three core principles:
Organic represents our commitment to cultivating hemp through natural methods and sourcing organic ingredients whenever possible. We believe what doesn't go into our products is just as important as what does.
Green is a nod to the vibrant plant at the heart of everything we do. In cannabis culture, "green" has always been an affectionate term for the plant itself - celebrating its remarkable properties and potential.
Roots carries dual meaning - honoring my personal background in horticulture where I developed a deep understanding of plant cultivation from an early age, while also symbolizing our company's foundation in sustainable, earth-friendly practices.
Through small-batch cultivation and careful formulation, we create products that maintain the plant's natural integrity from soil to shelf. This isn't just a business - it's the culmination of a lifelong relationship with plants and a belief in their ability to enhance wellbeing when respected and properly prepared.
No machines are used in the harvesting process. We hand harvest 100% of our crop and dry slowly to preserve terpene content, resulting in an extremely flavorful and highly beneficial dried flower. After harvest, we store all of our inventory in a climate controlled clean space away from light. Trimmed and cured flower is further preserved using modified atmospheric packaging methods. This keeps our hemp flowers in a zero oxygen, zero light environment at 62% humidity for best quality.
ALL of our extracts come from our trimmed hemp flower - we do not use biomass.
For years we primarily sold dried hemp flower - but now we offer a full product line of tinctures, teas, topicals and more using our hemp extracts.
Our hemp extracts are unique to our farm. They are pure and potent with a diverse spectrum of healing compounds.
Our body's contain receptors that fit hemp compounds like a lock and key. We invite you to see what hemp can unlock for you!
Thank you for supporting my small business!
