Lake Country Growers (LCG) originated from a shared vision between co-founders Rebecca and Moe, inspired by the 2018 farm bill and their personal encounters with the healing properties of hemp. Their goal was straightforward; establish a CBD company that not only provides notch CBD products but also acts as a reliable source of education for the community. 


Leveraging Rebecca's talent for fostering growth in many areas—gardens, families and businesses—and Moe's dedication to the cause,  LCG aims to demystify CBD and hemp while highlighting the importance of holistic wellness.  The narrative of LCG goes beyond launching a CBD enterprise; it showcases two women paving the way in an evolving wellness sector, driven by education, quality and a genuine belief in hemp’s benefits.

Navigating Challenges & Building a Hemp + CBD Company 

During Lake Country Growers' early stages, Rebecca and Moe encountered many obstacles as they stepped into the hemp and CBD landscape.  Establishing LCG involved maneuvring through a web of regulations, such as the need to revamp their website multiple times within a short span due to evolving platform rules. 


Additionally, they had to deal with the uncertainties of banking relationships where accounts could be closed abruptly due to the nature of their business. This added another layer of difficulty. These limitations extended to advertising on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Google – making it challenging to promote their business effectively.


In spite of these hurdles, Rebecca and Moe’s resilience served as the foundation of LCG. Their unwavering commitment to complying with all requirements and even surpassing them demonstrated their dedication to building a reliable CBD company. 


Their journey through the uncharted territories of the CBD market tested their determination but ultimately led to a more robust and adaptable organization. Succeeding in this regulated industry demanded not only resilience but also a strong belief in their mission to educate and offer high-quality CBD products!

A Pivotal Moment: Transforming Pressure into Opportunity

A significant moment for Lake Country Growers arrived unexpectedly, this was the moment when the company went from being a side project to becoming the focus for co-founders Rebecca and Moe. The turning point came when they received news that their current company (where they both worked) would be shutting down. This gave them only a month to shift their focus to LCG. With the need to make things work, this high-pressure situation completely altered the path of LCG. 


The challenge of losing their jobs became the driving force behind LCG’s progress and evolution. Instead of letting the pressure break them, Rebecca and Moe used it as a catalyst for creativity, driving LCG forward with determination. This moment of crisis turned into an opportunity, showcasing the resilience and adaptability that underpins LCGs success story.


Setting itself apart in the CBD market, Lake Country Growers stands out through its dedication to outstanding customer service, top-notch product quality and ongoing innovation. Rebecca and Moe have built a business that goes beyond selling items; they aim to provide an informative experience for each customer starting from the initial contact until they receive a gold foil package at their doorstep.

The True Reason We Started LCG – Customer Success Stories

One of the most important aspects of their work is witnessing the tangible impact hemp has on their customers. One particular anecdote that comes to mind is about a friend's 14-year son who grappled with intense anxiety and panic episodes. Conventional medications weren't working due to worries about their impact on his developing brain.


Upon starting a routine of LCG’s 30mg CBD gummies, with an occasional 50mg gummy on more difficult days, his academic performance saw an uptick. His social interactions brightened and he managed to overcome his anxiety. This narrative along with others underscores the power of LCG products and emphasizes the significance of their mission!


For Rebecca and Moe, these instances of customer triumphs and feedback are what make all the hurdles worthwhile. They capture the essence of LCGs influence in the CBD community by not only showcasing the advantages of their products but also highlighting the connection and dedication that define their brand.
