Why BATCH Products Are Different

At BATCH we like to mix things up. With a background in manufacturing for other brands we launched BATCH in 2020. Our in-house formula specialists craft only the most effective formulas. This is how we do it.

BATCH Background - From Roommates To Entrepreneurs

Founded by three lifelong friends, BATCH CBD was a passion project turned business venture. Co-founders Dennis, Griff, and Andy grew up in the greater Milwaukee area and went on to attend the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where they fostered their entrepreneurial spirit (ask us about Greek Street Food Truck).

From there, their passion to serve the community evolved into the CBD brand you know and love today.

Their background in chemistry and the legalization of hemp in Wisconsin was a springboard for crafting the best-in-class formulas BATCH offers today.

Step 1 - It All Starts On The Farm

Neillsville, WI is our fertile grow location. It’s a rural town nestled next to the Black River, rolling hills, and home to generations of farmers.

Rollin and his family have been farming in Neillsville, WI for three generations!

Umpqua is our hardy hemp strain. It has a stellar cannabinoid and terpene profile, making it the perfect choice for a full-spectrum hemp product. 

Step 2 - Extraction Time

In small batches, we take our Umpqua hemp and extract the CBD oil by soaking it into a cold ethanol bath. This process selectively extracts the beneficial compounds in the hemp plant.

+ Food Grade Ethanol Bath

+ Centrifuge & Decarboxylation Process

+ Raw or Crude Hemp Extract Produced

Step 3 - Formulas By Experts

Our CBD specialists and certified chemists formulate every blend you see at BATCH. Each blend was rigorously developed through hundreds of iterations to find the most effective recipe. 

Once our CBD extract is ready, we blend it with organic carrier oils and terpene blends. These are the tasteful and effective CBD oils you know and love.

This is where the magic happens.

Step 4 - Internal Testing

To make sure our blends are up to snuff, we first create an internal test report. This ensures that our products are full of rich cannabinoids.

+ Federally Compliant - less than 0.3% THC

+ Full Potency - what the label says is what you're getting

+ Full Cannabinoid Profile - minor cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, and CBC are present in all of our Full-Spectrum blends

Step 5 - Finished Products

Once the formulas are tested and good to go, we bring the CBD product to completion. We fill and label our bottles with an eye for detail. Each container has a tamper evident device for your safety.

+ Glass tincture packaging

+ Ethically sourced hemp

+ Product boxes made from locally sourced hemp paper

+ Sustainable Kraft Mailers

Step 6 - Third Party Tests

Once manufactured, we send BATCH products off to third party labs for further testing. Here’s where we test for contamination and validate our internal tests. It is critical to perform these tests as hemp is a bioaccumulator.

+ Confirm internal potency tests

x No Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury 

x Free of 60+ different pesticides

x Free of 20+ harmful solvents

x No mycotoxins, microbials, and bacteria

The Entourage Effect

This has nothing to do with the tv show (maybe in other circles, but not this one)! But it has everything to do with how a cannabinoid’s effects and benefits change when presented with other cannabinoids/compounds. 

The Entourage Effect is a term for the synergistic benefit derived from all compounds found in the hemp plant. CBD is just one beneficial cannabinoid, but paired with THC, minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and other hemp compounds, a greater therapeutic benefit is achieved than any one compound in isolation.

CBD, THC, minor cannabinoids, and even some terpenes all interact with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Your ECS regulates a wide range of biological processes (sleep, appetite, memory, immune function, pain response to name a few). By pairing CBD with other compounds that interact with the ECS, it increases the effectiveness of CBD. 

Dr. Ethan Russo is a leader in medicinal cannabis research and has shared multiple papers supporting the Entourage Effect. Many users have experienced little to no benefit from CBD isolate products, but have been helped greatly by full-spectrum products due to the Entourage Effect.

A 2020 study also found that cannabinoids and terpenes have a combined entourage effect, which may also have an impact on the treatment of mood disorders. It also suggests that terpenes may be a beneficial addition to overall cannabis-based effects. 

Where Can I Buy BATCH Products?

You can purchase our CBD oil products by checking out our “Shop” tab on our website. We have a variety of CBD oil tinctures for those looking for help with sleep, clarity, or just calming down after a long day. 

Will CBD Get Me High?

No. Our CBD oil will not get you high. This is because our products have trace concentrations of THC, less than the legally required 0.3%. This means that you can enjoy the effects of CBD without feeling high or euphoric as with a higher THC product. 

We also test our BATCH blend internally and use third-party testing to ensure you safely enjoy your CBD experience. 

When Should I Try CBD?

CBD is generally well tolerated for daily use. You can always start with a smaller dose (half a gummy or half the dropper amount for a tincture) and then work up to a higher one.

Many users take CBD in the morning before work to ease into the day while others take it before bed to get a good night’s sleep.

There are essentially two categories of CBD products: topicals and tinctures. Tinctures are the most popular CBD product. Topical products range from roll-ons and lotions to salves and balms. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. 

For most customers, we would recommend a 500 mg CBD Tincture to start.

How Does CBD Work?

A buzzword online and a commonly misunderstood compound, Cannabidiol or “CBD” is only one of 113+ cannabinoids found inside the hemp plant. This is what makes our hemp a cut above the rest.

CBD interacts with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which is responsible for regulating things like sleep, pain, stress, hunger, and more. 

We have naturally occurring cannabinoids in our bodies, and CBD is a phyto-cannabinoid ("phyto" meaning from plants) that helps support that system that's already in place.

BATCH BRIEF - Everyone has one of these! Even our pets do, which is why dogs and cats can benefit from our CBD too. 

What CBD Product Should I Try?

Tinctures

If you’re looking for a faster-acting form of CBD, with the freedom to manipulate or increase your dose in milligrams, this might be the right product for you.

Topicals

Used on the body for localized support, people choose topicals for their benefits without ingesting the CBD. This method is best with repeated use. 

Gummies

These are often a good option for people who dislike the taste of CBD, or who prefer it to be pre-dosed.

Softgels

These are great for avoiding the “planty” taste while ingesting the benefits of CBD and for those looking to pre-dose their CBD.
