The Bottom Line
Transparency & Accuracy
My review of Industrial Hemp Farms is fair, because there is ample room for improvement based on the higher than acceptable 10% accuracy variances of their third party lab test potency results, the lack of purity test results available to consumers, and a densely populated website. Rather than a centralized testing hub, all of the third party lab results for each individual product are scattered throughout the main website. Each individual product page lists only the corresponding lab results for one product at a time.
Hemp Quality
They do publish the potency results for each product on its product page, but the company’s purity test results are unavailable at this time. The accuracy variances for these Industrial Hemp Farms products vary broadly concerning potency, with three products testing above the acceptable 10% variance limit, and one product testing below the level allowed.
Customer Experience
According to their customer service team, their products are not tested for purity, so the products reviewed did not show the results for all of the standard CBD tests available in the current market.
Variety of Products
They carry a wider range of CBD extracts and delivery methods than comparable brands, offering full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate products from 10 mg to 10,000 mg. Their vast product catalog includes CBD gummies, topicals, tinctures, whole hemp flower by the gram, pre-rolls, dabs, bath bombs, lip balm, and pet products. There’s quite a broad variety of products.
Price & Discounts
Their prices range from $2.75 up to $6,500.00, which equals an average price point of $.05 per mg, meaning that Industrial Hemp Farms does have lower priced CBD products than other comparable organic brands in the market. They offer multiple shipping options, regardless of order minimum, and a 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee on all products.

Methodology
Data Collection and Rating
In our review process, we receive CBD products directly from the brand to personally review ourselves, so we can give you an accurate idea of the packaging, potency, taste, smell, feel, and overall experience of each product. We also discuss the company’s shipping and returns policy.
Another important step we take is reviewing each individual product for details such as the certificate of analysis to assess the CBD level and CBD variance, THC level, and contaminants.
We take all factors into account and give each CBD brand and each CBD product a score for each parameter.
All of the information we collect is generated into a concise, easy to read review and put into our extensive database. Keep in mind, our reviews are never intended to substitute or act as medical advice.
Product DataBase
Our database collects key information for each product, including CBD product prices, potencies, third-party lab test results, flavors, additional ingredients, hemp quality, extract types, product variety, and more.
We then use all of this combined data to give each brand and product a standardized rating out of five points.
Brand Review Process
There are many factors we consider when we review the quality, integrity and products of a CBD brand. We rate each brand on several factors including:
- Transparency & accuracy. It is important that a CBD brand is forthcoming with who makes up their team, their mission, manufacturing process, and lab reports. Also, we look for the accuracy of the CBD and THC levels in the products’ lab reports.
- Hemp quality. Hemp quality can be a deciding factor between a good CBD brand and a great CBD brand. We look for organic and sustainable farming methods with attention to detail in each manufacturing step.
- The variety of products they offer. We like to see several CBD product types and flavors.
- Customer service. It is essential that each CBD company has multiple ways to connect to customer service to ask questions. We look for speedy and complete responses.
- Price and discounts. Competitive pricing is an important aspect of being a top-rated CBD brand. We also look for discount options and ways to save on your order.
Market Reports
Another way Leafreport stands out from other CBD review websites is our evidence-based market reports. For each one, we purchase different types of CBD products and send them for independent lab testing to check whether their levels of CBD and other cannabinoids match the label.
Information Updates
Writers and editors conduct our reviews and our database on an annual basis but continually make updates throughout the year. We maintain frequent contact with brands and highlight any changes in offerings.
The Review Team
Our review team is made up of a wide chain of qualified CBD review writers, some with medical degrees, some with statistics backgrounds, others with ample experience in the CBD arena. Each and every one of our CBD reviews are approved by our medical reviewer before being published on our website to ensure all information is accurate.
Conflicts of Interest
While Leafreport does have partnerships with many of the reviewed brands, we manage potential conflicts of interest by maintaining a wall between our content and business operations. This wall is designed to prevent our writers and the review process from being influenced or impacted by our business partnerships. This way, all reviews can provide an unbiased review that serves the interests of our users.
About the Company
Industrial Hemp Farms, owned and managed by IHF Online, is a B2B hemp farming and wholesale company with divisions that focus on the purchase and sale of hemp biomass, hemp flower, and hemp extracts. The company handles 100% of the hemp derived CBD sourcing, supply, fulfillment, and wholesale sales through vertical integration. This means that they control the entire process from seed to sale, ensuring that their customers have “only the best CBD on the market,” according to their website.
In 2019, Industrial Hemp Farms doubled their production acreage to over 1000 acres, located across 5 states. Through new partnerships and expansive growth, they became the largest raw hemp flower distributor currently operating in the U.S., according to the company’s “About Us” page online. Appointments to tour their extraction facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado can be made via email or phone.
Transparency
Independent CBD testing is a vital quality and safety control measure to ensure that the labeled amounts of CBD and THC are very close to the contents of each final product a customer receives. All of the products in my Transcend Labs order were third party tested for CBD and THC potency. However, according to the customer support team at Industrial Hemp Farms, purity test results for the standard contaminants are not performed by the company at this time:
The company does have a “Terms and Conditions” link in the main menu that gives typical FAQ information, but there is no centralized FAQ page available. Third party lab results for the Industrial Hemp Farms products are scattered throughout the main website. Consumers can search for COAs by name once on the testing page, but each individual product page lists only the corresponding lab results for one product at a time, as seen here:
Accuracy
Using the testing or COA link, it was easy to match my products to the independent third party lab reports provided on each corresponding product page online. As far as the full spectrum Zkittles terpsolate dab, this product had 789 mg of CBD, which is less CBD total than the 1000 mg stated on the label and above the acceptable 10% variance at 21.1%. While purity tests were unavailable for review, this concentrated dab product tested as containing a non-detectable amount of THC.
The 1000 mg labeled CBD isolate powder tested at 961 mg of total CBD, which represents a 3.9% variance, well below the 10% allowed. No THC was detected, according to the third party lab results. No purity test reports are available at this time. Per the third party lab results, no THC was detected in the 1 gram Zkittles vape cartridge made from their hemp flower crop, but this product had 165.1 mg of CBD, which calculates to a 65.26% variance from the 475 mg stated on the label, and far above the acceptable 10% variance allowed:
Their batch of full spectrum 1000 mg unflavored tincture exhibited a high 15.4% variance with 1154.09 total mg of CBD, according to the third party lab reports. This is above the acceptable 10% variance limit. It contained .01% THC but to the best of our knowledge, no purity test results are available at this time.
Reputation
Established in 2018 by CEO Gus Hanger, a young entrepreneur who started an herbal remedy business in high school, Industrial Hemp Farms was founded using vertical integration so they could maintain control of their hemp from seed and cultivation through to the final sale. Per press releases, one of their primary company goals is to make mutually beneficial deals, connections and contacts in the hemp industry, boasting more than 70,000 customers from the company website alone.
According to the company, their CEO “embodies the trailblazing spirit of the hemp industry,” and they claim they are committed to transparency, but Industrial Hemp Farms does not publish standard purity tests results in a manner accessible to consumers. They do offer non-GMO and organic CBD products in full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate extract options that are tested for potency, according to the independent third party lab results posted online.
Leafreport’s market reports score
Pricing report – Industrial Hemp Farms was listed in «А» price rank (Bargain grade) on our 2021 pricing report. In this report, we checked the prices of the 137 brands in the industry and compared for each category the cheapest and most expensive products.
Manufacturing Process
Industrial Hemp Farms is a legal, authorized grower of premium Colorado hemp. All of their full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate products are sourced from organic hemp farms that are non-GMO. They use a clean CO2 extraction method to safely remove cannabidiol from their organic, non-GMO hemp without using solvents. Industrial Hemp Farms formulates each of their CBD products with easily digestible MCT oil as the carrier for maximum bioavailability.
After formulation, the next step is independent third party CBD testing, which is an important quality and safety control measure utilized by Industrial Hemp Farms to ensure that the labeled potency of CBD and THC matches the contents. They conduct rigorous potency lab testing for all of their products and post the results online, but to the best of our knowledge, no purity test reports were available at this time for consumer access.
Industrial Hemp Farms offers premium quality, organic, broad spectrum, full spectrum, and isolate CBD extracts that are available in the form of tincture oils, topicals and edibles, as well as whole flower, pre-rolls, bath and pet products. Their products range from 10 mg to 10,000 mg, and are lower priced compared to other brands.
Industrial Hemp Farms Hemp Flower, Hemp Hearts, Kief Overview
Industrial Hemp Farms’ non-GMO, organic hemp flower is sourced from Colorado farms. According to the company, these CBD flower buds are loaded with naturally occurring terpenes and phytocannabinoids. All of their CBG and CBD full spectrum flower products are grown in the United States using non-GMO seeds right from the start.
Each of these full spectrum, whole hemp flower strains contains less than 0.3% THC in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill, and all tested below the legal limit in third party testing. There is no extraction process with whole flower hemp; the consumer receives the hemp flower bud directly from the ground, and no suggested uses are given.
Industrial Hemp Farms Hemp Pre-rolls Overview
These CBD pre-roll joints come in sizes ranging from single servings to bulk buys, from 25 to 250. In partnership with the Colorado growers they use to source this hemp flower, as a vertically integrated company, Industrial Hemp Farms sets the standards for hemp drying periods and humidity levels. To further protect this hemp in transit, the company uses high quality vacuum packaging and specialized shipping, according to the website.

Buying Experience
The ordering process was fairly easy, but the website is a bit cluttered in appearance. It is somewhat user friendly once you find the page you are looking for, and each product page includes key pieces of information, like the suggested uses, ingredients, and extract types available. Many of the Industrial Hemp Farms products are listed several times in different categories, so ordering took longer than expected. As required by law, a full FDA disclaimer appears at the bottom of each product page.
Their website also has built in extra accessibility features that can be utilized at any time throughout the ordering process by clicking the blue icon that floats at the top left of every page. If a customer has any accessibility issues when viewing the site or ordering, one click on the wheelchair icon brings up the following screen of options available to individuals requiring further assistance:
On the densely populated Industrial Hemp Farms website, there are several helpful tools for customers to make shopping easier, including useful floating widgets on the right hand side of every page, as well as a shopping cart icon at the top. Consumers can easily toggle back and forth between CBD products without losing their place using the “Recently Viewed” shortcut feature, and, in addition, they can ask customer support questions during the ordering process using the convenient “Contact Us” widget, as seen here:
Customer support was contacted through email, regarding if their CBD was organic. Their team answered in 1 business day with the following response:
