How it started
LEEF evolved from Paleo Paw (Our CBD line for Pets). We were pet parents in pursuit of plant based wellness for our pups, by way of their everyday diet. So, what started as 3 friends home-cooking to better the health of our dogs (Cash, Kaia, Kona & Maui) turned into a passion project (Why wouldn’t we better the lives of dogs everywhere?) turned into our labor of love, 100% organic, non-gmo, human-grade pet food balanced by whole ingredients.
We geeked out, on wellness and naturally lead by one of the Paleo Paw partners Micah Anderson (soil science black belt, organic agricultural farmer/cultivator) our CBD obsession was born. More research and most importantly results, LEEF was our next evolution.
Focusing on impacting the lives of our fellow humans with this plant-based superfood.
How it evolved
They say the best soil is a farmer’s footsteps and it's Micah’s that cultivated the LEEF vision well before we built the brand. Micah started our farms and it all grew from there, he was a bit passionate about non-gmo, organic soil based farming so naturally we had to control the farming process. Our boutique farms have honed their craft for high-potency CBD and they give way to the quality products we create. We believe quality products start from the soil up.
