Company Profile
Cornbread Hemp is a Kentucky-based CBD brand producing USDA-organic, full-spectrum hemp CBD products like oils, gummies, and topicals. Founded in 2019 by cousins Jim Higdon and Eric Zipperle, the family-run company pioneered a “Flower-Only” extraction method – using only hemp flowers (no stems or leaves) – to create cleaner, more potent CBD formulations. Cornbread Hemp’s products are known for containing the maximum legal amount of THC (up to 0.3%) alongside CBD, embracing the full-spectrum of cannabinoids to enhance effectiveness. The brand’s heritage runs deep: Higdon named the company after the 1980s “Cornbread Mafia” of outlaw cannabis growers in Kentucky[34], and today Cornbread Hemp honors that legacy by sourcing organic hemp from Kentucky farms and setting a high bar for quality in the CBD industry.
