Upstate Elevator Supply Co.

Upstate Elevator Supply Co. sells full-spectrum CBD oils, softgels, topicals, gummies, and THC-infused seltzers made from Vermont-grown hemp. Prices run mid-range: 30-count 25 mg CBD gummies are $39, 1,800 mg tinctures are $99, and 4-packs of 5 mg THC drinks are $24. Products are sold through the brand’s own e-commerce site and in about 400 independent pharmacies, co-ops, and specialty grocers across the Northeast. The company owns the entire seed-to-shelf chain: organic hemp is cultivated on its 140-acre farm in Middlebury, Vermont, extracted on-site with supercritical CO₂, and bottled within 24 hours to preserve minor cannabinoids. Every SKU carries a scannable QR code linking to the Vermont state-certified lab report; the THC seltzers are zero-calorie, vegan, and use nano-emulsified hemp extract for onset in 10–15 minutes. These practices have made the “Vermont Craft CBD” line and the “Lift” THC drink series shelf staples in natural-food stores. Core buyers are 30-55-year-old professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who want functional calm or post-activity recovery without alcohol or intoxicating cannabis. They value local agriculture, clean labels, and third-party verification; many follow the brand’s Strava club and trail-clean-up events that trade volunteer hours for product discounts. Upstate competes with national CBD conglomerates and multi-state cannabis beverage makers that rely on white-label hemp or outsourced manufacturing. It differentiates by keeping cultivation, extraction, and canning in-state, offering Vermont’s first USDA-organic hemp license, and limiting THC drinks to 5 mg—positioning itself as a trustworthy, sessionable alternative in both wellness and emerging low-dose beverage markets.
