A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WELLNESS
At Prospect Farms we believe wellness is rooted in trust and authenticity, so from our farming practices to the ingredients included in each of our products, we have nothing to hide. Quality Full-Spectrum CBD starts as a seed, not on the shelf. That is why we genetically select each and every seed that goes into our nutrient-rich soil in Prospect, Maine. We follow strict organic farming practices including the use of regenerative cover crops to ensure a healthy, natural environment for each and every hemp plant. We hand-harvest, slow dry, and carefully process the hemp plants all on our farm to ensure the quality preservation of true full spectrum CBD. Transparency isn’t a buzzword, it’s an ideology we live by daily.
TESTED, TRUSTED & TRANSPARENT
Rigorous quality control is required in every aspect of the supply chain. We are the farm. We are the processor. We are the manufacturing support to bring to market truly clean, green skincare. Because of this, we are among the few who are able to meticulously validate each and every step from Seed to Store. Through peer-leading, 3rd party, ISO-accredited labs, we use leading-edge technology to test each and every batch to ensure your products are receiving the highest standard of care and validation.
LAB ANALYSIS
TRULY transparent means we test upwards of 14 times across a broad spectrum of lab analysis to support TRUE quality. We ensure your product is free from mycotoxins, heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, bacterial contaminants, pesticides, and residual solvents (volatile organic compounds). Truly clean means non-detectable and transcends industry norms to establish a new quality standard for the industry.

The client sample was analyzed for plant-based cannabinoids by Liquid Chromatography (LC). The collected data was compared to data collected for certified reference standards at known concentrations.
68783-CN

Ratio of Total CBD to THC 31.3:1
Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) = 0.007 wt%
Max THC (and Max CBD) are calculated values for total cannabinoids after heating, assuming complete decarboxylation of the acid to the neutral form. It is calculated based on the weight loss of the acid group during decarboxylation: Max THC = (0.877 x THCA) + THC. This calculation does not include other cannabinoid isomers (eg. D8-THC  and exo-THC). ND = None detected above the limits of detection (LOD), which is half of LOQ.

TP: Terpenes Profile [WI-10-27] Analyst: LC Test Date: 4/17/2021

Client sample analysis was performed using full evaporative technique (FET) headspace sample delivery and gas chromatographic (GC) compound separation. A combination of flame ionization detection (FID) and/or mass spectrometric (MS) detection with mass spectral confirmation against the National Institute of Standards and Technology  (NIST) Mass Spectral Database, Revision 2017 were used. Chromatographic and/or mass spectral data were processed by quantitatively comparing the analytical peak areas against calibration curves prepared from certified reference standards.

Ratio of Total CBD to THC 32.9:1
Max THC (and Max CBD) are calculated values for total cannabinoids after heating, assuming complete decarboxylation of the acid to the neutral form. It is calculated based on  the weight loss of the acid group during decarboxylation: MAX THC = (0.877 x THCA) + THC. This calculation does not include other cannabinoid isomers (eg. D8-THC  and exo-THC). ND=None detected above the limits of detection (LOD), which is one-third of the Limit of Quantification (LOQ). For values reported as “<LOQ”, the estimated value is included in the calculated Total.
