Upstate Elevator Supply Co. Overview
Upstate Elevator Supply Co. is a CBD company founded in 2017 in Burlington, Vermont. It offers a wide range of innovative CBD products at low prices.
Where Upstate Elevator really stands out is its top-tier hemp source. The company developed its own hemp cultivars specifically for Vermont’s short growing season.
It grows its proprietary hemp variety on a USDA-certified organic farm using sustainable farming practices. This is easily one of the best hemp sources I’ve seen from any CBD brand. Upstate is also a founding member of Earthkeep FarmCommon, a 600-acre regenerative farm in Charlotte, Vermont.
The company has a flagship store in Burlington, VT, called Green State Dispensary. It sells Upstate’s CBD offerings and cannabis products from its sister company Upstate Elevator Operators.

CBD Glossary
- Hemp: cannabis variety with high CBD and low THC levels (no more than 0.3%).
- Terpenes: aromatic plant compounds with various beneficial effects (1).
- Minor cannabinoids: CBN, CBG, CBC, and other beneficial cannabinoids found in smaller amounts in hemp. They work in synergy with CBD.
- Full-spectrum: whole-plant hemp extract containing multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. This form of CBD is about four times more potent than pure CBD (2).
- Broad-spectrum: whole-plant hemp extract similar to full-spectrum CBD, but with THC removed (may contain trace amounts).
- CBD isolate: pure CBD without any other hemp compounds.
Upstate Elevator Supply Co. CBD Product Lineup

Antonio’s experience: After winning first place in a 5k race, I took two droppers and felt great. The next day, I tried it again, and it seemed to accelerate my recovery. While the taste may be reminiscent of peppermint schnapps, it’s not unpleasant and can be compared to a peppermint oil ice cream. Overall, I’m impressed with the effectiveness of this tincture and like the organic ingredients.

CBD Capsules
Upstate Elevator Supply Co. has one of the widest varieties of CBD capsules on the market. There are regular full-spectrum capsules, ones with added raw cannabinoids, and THC-free capsules.
Organic Full-Spectrum CBD Capsules

CBD Potency | 30-75 mg |
Capsule Count | 2-30 |
Total CBD | 60-2250 mg |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.04-0.05 |

Third-Party Test | View report |
These USDA-organic full-spectrum CBD capsules come in two strengths: 30 mg and 75 mg. You can buy the regular 30-count bottles or a 2-capsule pack if you just want to try them out. These are some of the best cheap CBD capsules you can buy.
Antonio’s experience: These are my favorite hemp extract capsules. They’re organic and contain only three ingredients. As a full-spectrum extract, they include a small amount of THC, minor cannabinoids, and phytonutrients, making them high quality.
I started with one capsule before bed and slept well, waking up refreshed without drowsiness. After switching to two capsules in the afternoon, I noticed reduced knee discomfort during the week I used them. These are among the cleanest and most natural hemp capsules I’ve tried.
Organic Full-Spectrum CBG+CBD+CBDa Capsules

Potency | 30-75 mg |
Capsule Count | 30 |
Total CBD+CBG+CBDa | 900–2250 mg |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.04-0.05 |
Type | Full-spectrum |
Third-Party Test | View report |
These unique full-spectrum capsules provide a 1:1:1 ratio of CBG, CBD, and its parent cannabinoid CBDa, with 30 mg and 75 mg strengths. This formula is a good choice if you want to try something different from regular full-spectrum CBD.

Capsule Count | 2-30 |
Total CBD+CBDa | 200-3000 mg |
Cost per mg | $0.03-0.05 |
Type | Full-spectrum |
Third-Party Test | View report |
This USDA-organic, unprocessed hemp extract formula contains high levels of cannabidiolic acid (CBDa), the precursor to CBD that’s naturally produced by hemp plants.
If you’re looking for CBD capsules that are as close to natural as possible, this may be the formula for you. They’re also a good option for people who prefer high CBD dosages since you’re getting 100 mg of CBD+CBDa per capsule.
My experience: These were one of the strongest CBD capsules I’ve tested. They had potent relaxing, effects from a single capsule and felt more uplifting than standard CBD capsules.
THC-Free CBD Capsules

CBD Potency | 30 mg |
Capsule Count | 30 |
Total CBD | 900 mg |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.04 |
Type | Isolate |
Third-Party Test | View report |
Like the THC-free oil, these USDA-organic capsules contain nothing but pure cannabidiol dissolved in MCT oil. This is a simple formula for people who prefer pure CBD without THC and any other compounds.
CBD Gummies
Upstate’s CBD gummies come in many strengths and formulas.
Fruit CBD Gummies

CBD Potency | 10-30 mg |
Gummy Count | 10-30 |
Total CBD | 100-900 mg |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.06-0.13 |
Type | Isolate |

Deeper Dreams CBD Gummies

Potency | 15 mg |
Gummy Count | 2-30 |
Total Cannabinoids | 30-450 mg |
Cost per mg | $0.09-0.17 |
Type | Isolate |
Third-Party Test | View report |
As you probably guessed, these gummies are designed to help with sleep. They contain 10 mg of pure CBD, 5 mg of pure CBN, and 5 mg of melatonin, the most evidence-based sleep aid (3). I like the updated formula but would prefer less melatonin. More melatonin doesn’t necessarily mean better effects and health experts recommend starting with doses of 1 mg (4).
Antonio’s experience: The gummies tasted great and provided an excellent night’s sleep with extra vivid dreams. As someone who struggles with sleep sometimes, I’m always on the lookout for natural remedies, and these gummies delivered. I appreciated that the brand uses almost all organic ingredients. I recommend these gummies as a natural way to get some restorative sleep.
Deep Calm CBN+CBD Gummies

Potency | 60 mg |
Gummy Count | 2-30 |
Total Cannabinoids | 120-1800 mg |
Cost per mg | $0.03-0.04 |
Type | Isolate |
Third-Party Test | View report |
These raspberry-flavored gummies combine 50 mg of pure CBD with 10 mg of CBN, a high-potency formula designed to help you relax and wind down.
Antonio’s experience: The raspberry flavor is pleasing, although it does have a slight hemp extract aftertaste. Taking two gummies an hour before bed over five days produced noticeable effects, although not overwhelmingly strong. These gummies may not be the most potent sleep aid, but they offer a gentle, natural way to relax and prepare for rest.
CBD+CBG Tart Gummies

CBD/CBG Potency | 30 mg |
Gummy Count | 2-30 |
Total CBD/CBG | 60-900 mg |
Cost per mg | $0.05-0.08 |
Type | Isolate |
Third-Party Test | View report |
These unique gummies combine equal amounts of pure CBG and CBD, with 15 mg of each. They have a slightly tart taste and are one of the only USDA-certified organic CBD gummies you’ll find.
My experience: The gummies were sweet and tasty and had only a slight tart aftertaste. When they kicked in, I started smiling and felt an improved mood and relaxation, which seems to be the effect I get from CBG-heavy products.
THC Gummies

Potency | 7.5-16 mg |
Gummy Count | 2-20 |
Total Cannabinoids | 32-200 mg |
Cost per mg | $0.09-0.20 |
Type | Isolate |

Upstate offers a variety of hemp-derived delta-9 THC gummies:
- Fast-acting gummies in varieties of 5 mg THC/2.5 mg THCV, 5 mg THC/5 mg CBN, 5 mg THC/5 mg CBD, and 5 mg THC/5 mg CBG
- 10 mg THC gummy pucks in indica and sativa flavors
- 10 mg THC + 5 mg CBD and 5 mg CBN and 10 mg THC + 5 mg CBG + 5 mg THCV gummies.
- Tropical sunrise 1 mg THC + 15 mg CBD gummies
Antonio’s experience: I liked the organic, vegan-friendly ingredients. I tried three kinds of gummies:
- The tropical sunrise ones had a delicious flavor, reminiscent of a pina colada with its vibrant pineapple and coconut notes. Despite my high tolerance for THC, I found these gummies to be exceptionally effective. Starting with two gummies, it took ~1.5 hours to feel a significant sense of relaxation, progressing to a deep tiredness around two hours later. These gummies provide a perfect end-of-day relief.
- The fast-acting THCV gummies had a pleasant sour kiwi flavor with a slight hemp aftertaste. One gummy kicked in within 30 minutes, delivering a mild, cerebral, and body-relaxing high that lasted about 4 hours, followed by slight sleepiness. I experienced dry mouth, dry eyes, and increased hunger. Taking more gummies amplified the effects.
- Indica THC gummy pucks. They had a delicious blackberry flavor but dividing the puck into wedges was difficult, so I ate the whole 10mg puck as a serving. The effects were strong and kicked in within 30 minutes, peaking with a solid high after an hour. Taking it in the late afternoon helped me sleep well, though I woke up slightly groggy—typical for THC edibles.

CBD Beverages

CBD Potency | 10 mg |
Volume | 12 oz |
Total CBD | 60 mg (6 cans/pack) |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.41 |
Type | Isolate |
Varieties | 4 |

Elevator Supply is one of the few brands to offer CBD-infused seltzer and soda. Each bottle is infused with 10 mg of nano CBD, which may have greater absorption than regular CBD.
You can choose from four varieties: 10 mg CBD+CBG strawberry tangerine seltzer, 10 mg CBD black cherry lemon seltzer, raspberry hibiscus lime seltzer, and African ginger & Mexican lime soda. There are 6 bottles per pack. I’d like the strength to be a little higher (15-20 mg).
Antonio’s experience: I tested all four varieties but the Black Cherry one was my favorite. The flavor was delicious and almost fully hid the hemp taste. While the four-ingredient simplicity is a plus, using “natural flavors” instead of real fruit was a letdown. At 10mg of CBD, I didn’t feel noticeable effects, so this product is probably best for beginners.
THC Beverages

THC Potency | 1-10 mg |
Volume | 12 oz |
Total Cannabinoids | 40-384 mg |
Cost per mg | $0.26-0.6 |
Type | Isolate |
Third-Party Test | View report |
These THC sodas come in three formulas and multiple flavors:
- 15 mg CBD/1 mg THC
- 5 mg CBD/5 mg THC
- 10 mg THC
Antonio’s experience: I tried the orange pop and zesty lime ginger 15 mg CBD/1 mg THC sodas:
- The orange pop had a scent and taste nostalgically reminiscent of classic orange soda, though there was a slight hemp aftertaste. Drinking a full can in the evening, I felt pleasantly relaxed an hour later and slept well that night.
- The ginger ale flavor was off-putting, making it difficult to finish the can. While the idea of combining ginger, lime, and CBD/THC is promising, the execution fell flat.
CBD Topicals

CBD Potency | 10-25 mg/dose |
Volume | 10-60 ml |
Total CBD | 200-1500 mg |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.02-0.80 |
Type | Full-spectrum |
Third-Party Test | View report |
Upstate Elevator offers a CBD muscle cream, balm, roll-on, patches, and infused coconut oil:
- The 60 ml muscle cream has 1500 mg of full-spectrum CBD with peppermint, aloe leaf, and other ingredients designed for pain relief. I like the strength and low price.
- The less-stress CBD roll-on has a relatively high potency (20 mg/ml). It contains standard skincare ingredients like lemon and orange oil.
- CBD muscle patch with 10 mg of pure CBD alongside arnica, cayenne, ginger, and other soothing herbs. I like that Elevator Supply doesn’t make bold claims like many other CBD patch manufacturers. But I’d like a higher CBD strength.
Pet Products
Elevator Supply offers CBD oil and two types of treats for pets.
Hemp Salmon Oil

CBD Potency | 8.3 mg |
Volume | 30 ml |
Total CBD | 250 mg |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.10 |
Type | Full-spectrum |
Third-Party Test | View report |
This 30 ml full-spectrum tincture contains 250 mg of CBD, giving it the kind of low strength appropriate for cats and small-to-medium-sized dogs. It’s flavored with salmon to make it easier to give to pets.
Hemp Chewy Bites

CBD Potency | 2.5 mg |
Chews Count | 30 |
Total CBD | 75 mg |
Cost per mg CBD | $0.27 |
Type | Isolate |
Third-Party Test | View report |
If you’d rather give your furry companion edible CBD treats, these bites are a good option. They provide 2.5 mg of pure CBD and come in two formulas: joint and calm.
The joint chews have added joint health ingredients glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, boswellia seratta, hyaluronic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids. Meanwhile, the calm chews contain L-theanine (Suntheanine) and lemon balm, two relaxing, anti-anxiety ingredients.
Price & Value
The easiest way to compare the value of CBD products is to divide the total cost by the amount of CBD. For example, if you have a 1500 mg CBD oil that costs $100, its price per milligram (mg) of CBD would be 100/1500 = $0.07.
You also have to consider that the prices vary by product type, like tinctures versus gummies.
For Upstate Elevator Supply Co., most of its products are priced significantly or slightly below average market prices:
- $0.03 per mg for CBD oil
- $0.03-0.05 for capsules
- $0.03-0.10 for gummies (excluding small packs)
- $0.02–0.10 for topicals (excluding the patches)
- $0.69 for beverages
- $0.10-0.27 for pet products
The prices for CBD oil and capsules are some of the lowest you’ll find, especially for full-spectrum, USDA-certified organic products.
The topicals and gummies also cost less than average. The only products that are similar or more expensive than market prices are beverages and pet products. There are also many bundle deals with reduced prices and a subscription option for 20% off.
All in all, Upstate Elevator Supply Co. provides excellent value.

Hemp Source and Production Process

Upstate Elevator Supply Co. is unique for developing its own proprietary hemp variety. In 2016, the company developed hemp cultivars designed specifically for Vermont’s short growing season as well as high levels of terpenes and cannabinoids.
Upstate Elevator partnered with local organic Vermont farm Pete’s Greens in 2019 to grow its proprietary variety of hemp. This hemp is certified organic by the USDA.
The company also does its own hemp processing and extraction. This makes it vertically integrated, meaning that all of the steps from seed to sale are controlled by Upstate Elevator.
It uses cold ethanol extraction as the main extraction method for isolating CBD and other beneficial compounds from hemp.
Additionally, Upstate uses lipid infusion, a unique method that uses coconut or MCT oil to isolate the full range of hemp compounds from hemp plants without damaging them. It also uses nano-encapsulation for its beverage products.
In summary, Upstate Elevator has some of the most sophisticated sourcing and processing I’ve seen in the CBD industry.
Third-Party Testing
Upstate Elevator Supply Co. sends its products for third-party testing at Florida’s Green Scientific Labs, one of the most reputable cannabis testing labs in the country.
The raw hemp ingredients are tested for pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and other potential contaminants. This type of testing is especially important for hemp because it’s a bioaccumulator — a plant that can absorb heavy metals and other contaminants from the soil (3).
Meanwhile, every finished product is also tested for potency to confirm that you’re getting as much CBD and other cannabinoids as advertised.
Third-Party Test Results



I always check third-party lab test results to confirm that CBD companies sell safe and accurate products. More specifically, I check:
- The levels of CBD, which should be within 10% of the label (4)
- The levels of THC
- The levels of minor cannabinoids like CBG (the more, the better)
- Whether there are any contaminants
The test results confirm that Upstate Elevator Supply Co. products contain as much CBD and other cannabinoids as they should (+/- 10% of the advertised amount). For example:
- A test of the full-spectrum lemon tincture showed 53 mg of cannabinoids per ml, which is only 6% higher than the label (50 mg/ml)
- A test of the 30 mg 1:1:1 CBG:CBD:CBDa capsules showed 10.2 mg of CBG, 12.7 mg of CBD, and 8.3 mg of CBDa, with 32.9 mg of cannabinoids in total (9.6% higher than the label)
- A test of the 750 mg muscle cream showed 788.6 mg of CBD, which is only 5.1% higher than the label
The tests also confirmed that all of the full-spectrum products contain THC (less than the legal 0.3%) and minor cannabinoids. The tests are also up-to-date (no older than a year), with most being only a few months old.
The only thing that could be better is to test for terpene levels. Overall, I’m happy with the test results of Upstate Elevator Supply Co. products and the extent of the testing.
Shipping & Returns
Upstate Elevator Supply Co. ships throughout the United States with free shipping on orders over $49.99. That’s a great deal, especially since most of the company’s products cost significantly less per mg of CBD than average.
The company also has a 60-day customer satisfaction guarantee, allowing you to return any product within 60 days for a full refund or exchange.

Customer Service & Reputation
Upstate Elevator Supply Co. isn’t as well-known as leading CBD brands. However, it has all the signs of a reputable, top-tier company. For starters, it has over 2000 satisfied customer reviews on its website and another 500 reviews with a 4.7/5-star average on the independent review website Trustpilot.
The company also holds Vermont Organic Farmers certification, grows USDA-certified organic hemp, and is a member of the Hemp Industries Association and American Herbal Products Association. It even offers free phone consultations to learn more about hemp and help you choose the right product.
My only minor complaint is that it would be nice to see some of the names and faces behind the company.
The Verdict: Top CBD Brand That Deserves More Recognition
Upstate Elevator Supply Co. is one of the best CBD companies I’ve encountered. I was surprised to have not heard more about it before.
The company does a lot of things right. It has a high-quality hemp source, organic USDA certification, a wide product variety with many strengths and formulas to choose from, affordable prices, and comprehensive third-party testing with impressive test results.
It’s also vertically integrated, controlling every step of the process from growing the hemp, extracting it, and manufacturing the end products.
I only have minor suggestions for improvement, like ordering third-party testing for terpenes. Upstate Elevator is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a high-quality, affordable CBD.
