Veritas Farms uses integrated pest management, which saves it from using pesticides.
Southern Colorado's sunshine and open spaces make it prime for agriculture, and the region has jumped on the hemp and CBD bandwagons.

With deals to put CBD lotions and balms in Kroger and CVS stores across the country, Veritas was proud to show how much it has grown.
