Boulder Hemp is a collective of scientists, engineers, innovators, farmers and medical professionals.
We grow all of our hemp in Boulder County, Colorado – at an elevation of 4,995 feet above sea level, using strictly organic cultivation practices. All products are carefully crafted in small batches, using a science driven approach, and tested by multiple independent labs for purity and potency.
Leadership
Jeremy Widmann, PhD., Co-Founder
Jeremy attended the University of Colorado Boulder where he obtained his PhD in biochemistry, focusing on RNA evolution and function. His work focused on large scale computational analyses, studying patterns in RNA sequences across all domains of life, giving insight into the origin of life from an RNA world. Interested in human health and genomics, Jeremy took a position at the molecular diagnostic startup, ArcherDx.
As Asst. Director of NGS Assay Design, he conceived, designed and developed the software suite used to design Archer’s human cancer diagnostic tests.
Jeremy’s experience with Cannabis includes over a decade of cultivation, implementation of an extraction facility in a commercial Cannabis grows, and is the Co-Founder of Saint Vrain Research, one of the premier industrial hemp research and production facilities in the US. Combining his passion for Cannabis, evolution and human health, Jeremy hopes to aid in development of Cannabis-based personalized medicine with the Just Beat it line of products. When he’s not in one of our cultivation facilities or in the lab formulating new products, you’ll find Jeremy on the track racing his motorcycles or up in the mountains hunting, hiking and fishing.
