Our Story
Mellowroot is a seed-to-product hemp company started in 2017 by Brad Thacker. Brad earned a BS in Chemistry at UC Santa Barbara and an MS in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Arizona. After graduation, he worked as a research chemist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden Colorado.
Mellowroot hemp is cultivated using permaculture principles – enriching the soil and nourishing the crops in a chemical-free, holistic environment.
Mellowroot has an extraction lab for producing hemp oil and an analytical lab for determining the cannabinoid concentrations in the hemp plants and products. This enables Mellowroot to control every step of the process - cultivating, processing, and analyzing the products, with a focus on producing high quality, toxin-free medicinal hemp that is accurately formulated.
Mellowroot is based in Paonia, Colorado. Mellowroot products are whole plant extracts that provide the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes. No artificial chemicals or fertilizers are used to grow the plants or make the products.
