Grove, Inc. manufactures its own organic hemp CBD in its own in-house facility for products offered to wholesalers. It provides CBD gummies, CBD crude oil, CBD distillate, private label CBD edibles, private label CBD tinctures, and private label hemp gummies.
Grove's innovative and large-scale production facility is TruNano Labs. The facility aims to discover innovative consumption methods, high-volume tincture lines, high-potency products, and a large-scale gummy depositor.
Grove's CBD distillates aren't a pure form of cannabidiol and do contain a low content level of THC, which can produce mind-altering effects.
The company aims to create a cost-effective process that cuts out the need for a middleman in the manufacture and distribution of CBD products.
