My CBD Journey

Our CBD journey began approximately 4 years ago.  Alex had been in the flooring industry for most of his adult life as a store owner and also as an installer.  Needless to say, he has bad knees, a bad back, and a painful neck.  Fortunately, we were watching one of our son's baseball games in 2017, and happened to sit next to a gentleman who also had been in the industry.  As they started swapping stories the man asked Alex if he had ever tried CBD and even went out to his vehicle to offer a sample.  Once we got home, we started doing all kinds of research and Alex decided to give it a try.  Part of our research involved finding a reputable, transparent company to purchase products from.  We found that company and Alex began using CBD tincture.  Needless to say, he started experiencing significant pain relief.  This came at a cost; we were paying over $100 for a 500 mg. tincture.   A year later, I started experiencing knee pain in my right knee.  I have always been an active person and figured I was developing some normal arthritis as I entered my 50s.  I started using CBD and it also helped my knee pain, but I also noticed some other great benefits.  The anxiety and sleep problems I often experienced started diminishing as well.  So began my CBD journey, and a regular $200+ monthly expenditure for us.  In 2019, Michigan started the pilot program for hemp farming and CBD production.  We had farmland we were not using so we applied to the program and got accepted.  Hence, the birth of Shoreline Hemp Farm and Stony Lake Naturals!  Our goal was to grow organic hemp and make premium CBD products at prices our friends and families could afford.  We didn't know how it would go, but it turns out there are many, many people looking for the benefits CBD can offer and Stony Lake Naturals has made it affordable for them to use.  I share our journey because a typical question for us is, "How did you get started at this?"  CBD worked for us and we hope it works for you!
