Sunset Lake CBD

Tucked away in Vermont’s Champlain Islands, Sunset Lake’s beginnings are rooted in Vermont dairy. The farm with which we share our name, Sunset Lake Farm, produces milk and cream for Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream and is a long-standing member farm of their Caring Dairy program.

In 2018, Sam Bellavance saw an opportunity to diversify his family’s farm with its first hemp crop.

The next year, Bellavance approached Alex Frey, who’d previously grown medicinal cannabis in California, and together they planted their first CBD hemp crop in the Spring of 2019. Not long after, the two were joined by Bellavance’s childhood friend, Cy Kupersmith. Pursuing an MBA at the time, Kupersmith split his time between studying and helping Bellavance create Sunset Lake CBD in August 2019.
