Who is Green Mountain CBD?
Who is Green Mountain CBD?
We started as Green Mountain CBD and changed our name toSunsoil in early 2019. With this name change, you can expect the same exact product formulas, pricing, farming practices, extraction method, and people behind the company as you did under our former name. The recent change only impacted our name and logo.Transitioning to our new name and logo allows us to trademark Sunsoil as a brand, which helps to protect our product and customers.
What method of extraction do you use?
What method of extraction do you use?
We developed a simple infusion method using only hemp and organic coconut oil. Whole-plant infusion involves minimal processing of our hemp plants in contrast to other popular methods, such as CO2 or ethanol extraction.
We steep the dried hemp in coconut oil, heat and press it. This method does the best job of capturing the full range of beneficial compounds found naturally in the hemp plant.
Why are your prices lower than other CBD brands?
Why are your prices lower than other CBD brands?
We don't just focus on making the best possible CBD oil, we do it as efficiently as possible.
Unlike most companies, we do everything ourselves: we breed our seeds, we farm our hemp, and we make CBD oil on-site. Owning the full process allows us to monitor quality and save cost at every step.
Our unique, whole-plant infusion method of making CBD oil is also critical. It allows us to make a naturally rich CBD oil for a fraction of the cost. Infusion is naturally cost-efficient relative to methods that other CBD oil producers use (such as CO2 extraction).
Finally, simplicity is key. We focus on making a few great products, and doing it efficiently. Our mission is to make high-quality CBD oil that is affordable and accessible. We currently price our products at a flat rate of 5 cents per milligram of CBD, and plan to continually bring our prices down over time.

How much CBD should I take?
How much CBD should I take?
Every person's experience with CBD will differ. We recommend starting with a 20mg serving of CBD, and waiting a couple hours before taking any more, paying close attention to how you feel/what you notice. In general, it's important to find the "routine" that works for your body and needs. By routine, we refer to the serving size, frequency of use and product format.
Effects are not always immediate, as it can take a couple weeks of consistent use before you begin to notice benefits. Some folks take a couple servings per day, only once per day, or only as needed. It's not uncommon to take more (or less!) than a 20mg serving of CBD, or to use more than one product format.

LIPID INFUSION FOR EXTRACTION
We use lipid infusion because its simplicity preserves the purity and integrity of our plants. Lipids are naturally occurring molecules that form a group of compounds (fatty acids) and are insoluble in water. Common substances like coconut oil and olive oil are considered lipids. Lipid infusion is a straightforward, toxin-free process that uses heat and pressure to capture the full spectrum of our USDA certified organic hemp plants and their cannabinoids, terpenes and additional phytocompounds. Lipid infusion enables us to make high-quality, whole-plant hemp extract that is minimally processed and efficient – two qualities that help feed the core of Sunsoil’s mission.
