Tonic CBD is focused on conscious, sustainable CBD products. It was founded in 2017 by Brittany Carbone, who is both a personal trainer and health coach. She was seeking a natural way to address her anxiety and depression and used her knowledge of adaptogens, like ashwagandha, to create CBD adaptogenic blends. Her first steps involved researching the effect of CBD on the endocannabinoid system and its synergistic effects with adaptogens.
By the end of 2017, she had convinced her family to start a hemp farm at their residence in New York, now known as Tricolla Farms. It became one of the first licensed private hemp farms in New York. In 2018, Tonic CBD moved from a home kitchen based company, to a manufacturing facility. And by 2019, the team grew to include six women and Tonic CBD became Brittany’s full time career.
