Since 2013
Our Story
Real CBD, made by people who actually use it.
13 years and counting.
How it started
It started in a basement in Rockford, Michigan
In 2013, Jeff Gallagher bought his first batch of hemp product and set up shop in the basement of a rented duplex in Rockford, Michigan. He had no idea how he was going to pay for what he’d just ordered. He knew one thing: he wanted to help people feel better, the natural way.
Back then most people had never heard of CBD. There was no playbook. The goal was simple, help at least 5 people a month discover what hemp could do for them. That number grew. Made By Hemp grew with it.
What we stand for
No synthetics. No loophole THC. No shortcuts.
Somewhere along the way, the hemp industry lost the plot. When the market cratered, a lot of companies chased synthetic cannabinoids and high-dose THC products hiding behind a legal loophole. A 40mg THC gummy is not wellness. It’s marijuana-lite. We could have chased that money. We didn’t. 13 years in, we still make the same kind of clean, honestly-labeled hemp products we started with.
Our promise
Everything earns its place
We make our own Made By Hemp and Tasty Hemp Oil products, and we hand-pick a short list of trusted brands to carry alongside them. Nothing gets on the shelf by accident.
We vet it
Most of what we carry, we sought out ourselves. Is the hemp sourced and tested properly? Are the ingredients clean and honest? Is it actually worth your money? If the answer is no, it doesn’t make the cut.
We test it
Hemp extract is not known for tasting great. Before anything joins the store, our team tries it ourselves: flavor, strength, and how well it actually works.
We lab it
Everything is third-party lab tested to confirm what’s on the label is what’s in the bottle. No exceptions. See the lab results.
You steer it
Your reviews decide what stays. We read every one. If a product doesn’t hold up, we drop it.
Where we are now
Still here. Still fighting.
We’re not going to pretend the last few years were easy. We had a peak, then a hard fall. Today we’re leaner and more focused than we’ve ever been, narrowing in on the products our customers love most and the people who actually use them.
