About Us
Most people don’t like talking about themselves. Since this is a family-owned business, the “About” page has a very personal feeling which makes it a little more difficult to write than might otherwise be the case.
However, we realize people want to know who they’re doing business with, so without further ado, let me tell you about us, as it relates to 7 Mountains CBD.
The starting point is actually another business we own: Moondance Heavenly Desserts. Moondance is a wonderful wholesale, gluten free bakery we started 20 years ago.
After several years working in the bakery, some of the daily aches and pains stopped going away. In fact, one of us developed a pretty serious case of osteoarthritis. Another family member, who lived in Colorado where the laws were different, suggested trying CBD.
With more than a little skepticism, but with nothing to lose, we tried it. For us, the results were nothing short of miraculous. After about 10 days, hands which had become racked with pain and severely limiting, were back to normal.
The results were life-changing and mind-blowing. We had friends with arthritis whose pharmacalogical treatment was useless.
The family member in Colorado told us about some possible sweeping legislative changes which would make hemp and products derived from it legal. He suggested we should consider starting a CBD business.
Long story short: against long odds, the 2018 Farm Bill was passed, hemp was removed from the list of Schedule I substances (a place it never belonged) and legal hemp and its byproducts – primary among them CBD – could now be sold in all 50 states.
So, in 2018 we started 7 Mountains. You could say we were an early mover. Since then, we’ve seen dozens, if not hundreds, of companies come and go.
Unfortunately, a lot of the early arrivals were nothing more than get-rich-quick types. These folks didn’t understand the product or the industry. Fortunately, most of them are gone now.
This is where the typical “About Us” pages starts getting cringey in my humble opinion.
Now I should tell you that we’re more committed to our business than we are to drawing our next breath; that we’re going to inspire world peace by selling CBD; that our families have been hemp farmers for generations, and that’s why we’ve got a negative carbon footprint….
Haven’t we all heard enough of this?
In my experience, the more hifalutin claims a business makes, the more careful I have to be when dealing with them.
I’m not running down enthusiasm or commitment or positive thinking. But in a world where Google once used “don’t be evil” as its informal motto, I’m more interested in what people do than what they say.
So, what do we do here at 7 Mountains?
I started this page with a personal story because we have direct personal experience with the products we sell. As do many of our family members and friends. We do everything we can to make certain that our products are as safe and effective as possible.
This means:
- We use only all-natural and/or organic ingredients.
- We have less overhead than our competitors, so we charge less for our products.
- We get to know our suppliers as best we can.
- We test and track ingredients.
- We respond to your questions and you can even talk to us on the phone!
- We understand the products we sell and we will take the time to explain them.
- We know we’re generally a small supplier to our wholesale customers and we act accordingly.
And yes, we are committed to our business, and do everything we can to make sure you’re completely satisfied with the products you buy from us and the experience you have with us.
If you need more than that, you may want to look elsewhere.
And yet, we named the business 7 Mountains! For many, that name carries a sense of discovery, or travel or – heaven forbid – a spiritual journey (HT Thomas Merton).
Those are some pretty heavy ideas, but they’re pretty much all good ideas.
Suffice it to say that we like the name and we’re glad you stopped by.
