Jessica Bates of Moon Mother Hemp, Co.

A few months ago, before life as we knew it stopped, Moon Mother Hemp sent The Canna Mom Show a few samples of their full spectrum, certified organic CBD products and Joyce loves them! The face serum and topicals are both silky and smell great and are “Joyce’s Favorite Thing” on this week’s show. Today’s guest is Jessica Bates, founder of Moon Mother Hemp from Louisville, Colorado. She has been in and out of the cannabis and hemp industry for most of her adult life, and has been a practicing herbalist since she was twenty-six. Jessica developed her first line of products using medical and therapeutic herbs, but when her clients started asking she put CBD into her herbal products she reluctantly agreed, despite her family connections to cannabis. Then in 2018 Jessica encouraged her cannabis growing husband to invest in hemp farming and her CBD product line, Moon Mother Hemp, was launched. Now her beauty products are sold in Urban Outfitters, Organic Markets and through her on-line store for Moon Mother Hemp located in Boulder Colorado. The ladies catch up and talk about mothering in the age of COVID-19, hemp farming and the future of cannabis after the pandemic.
