“What’s CO₂ extraction, and why does it matter?”

If you’ve ever strolled by our table at the farmer’s market, you know folks love to ask me how our products are made. One of the top questions I get is about CO₂ extraction — what it is, why we use it, and what makes it different from other methods. 🌿👩‍🌾

Let’s break it down together!

🌬️ What is CO₂ extraction?

At its core, CO₂ extraction uses carbon dioxide (yep, the same stuff we breathe out) to gently pull out all the beneficial compounds from hemp plants. The cool part? By adjusting the temperature and pressure, we can be super precise about what we capture — like CBD, terpenes, and other natural plant compounds — while leaving behind things we don’t want.

Think of it as the “cleanest squeeze” possible — like pressing fresh juice, but for hemp. 🥤🌱

🚫 How is it different from other methods?

Some companies use harsh solvents (like ethanol or butane) to extract CBD. While effective, those methods can leave behind unwanted residues if not handled carefully.

CO₂, on the other hand, is clean, safe, and leaves no trace. It’s food-grade, eco-friendly, and has been used for years in things like decaf coffee and essential oils.

🌟 Why we only use CO₂-extracted hemp

Here at Healing Green Farms, we want our products to be as pure and safe as possible — no shortcuts, no questionable chemicals. Using CO₂ extraction ensures that everything you’re getting in your bottle is exactly what should be there: the best of the plant, with nothing extra.

For us, it’s not just about following the “gold standard” — it’s about peace of mind, for us and for you. 💚
