Carolina Hemp Hut Selected as Best of Chapel Hill 2020

A Business Built on Personal Healing

The passion behind Carolina Hemp Hut comes from a very real and personal place. Mary Lopez Carter didn’t launch her business to cash in on a trend. She started it because her husband was battling malignant tumors, and she was desperate to find something that would ease his suffering.

“I knew there had to be a way for nature to help heal,” Mary says. “I’m so glad I found legal cannabis as a solid option for many people to improve their lives by helping with the discomfort they face.”

What started as a personal journey grew into something much bigger. Today, Carolina Hemp Hut is not only helping her family, but it’s also helping thousands of others across the country. Through compassionate service and top-tier products, the business continues to grow while staying true to its roots.

Trust, Safety, and Consistency

One of the biggest concerns people have when trying hemp products for the first time is quality. Carolina Hemp Hut removes the guesswork. Every product is thoroughly lab-tested to ensure it meets safety and potency standards. No mystery ingredients. No shady sourcing. Just clean, effective hemp solutions that work.

This attention to quality has built a reputation that reaches beyond Hillsborough and Durham. Customers from all over North Carolina and nearby states drive in—or order online—because they trust the brand.

Giving Back and Lifting Others Up

Beyond retail, Carolina Hemp Hut also believes in giving back. The team regularly partners with local nonprofits, donates to important causes, and even hosts educational events to share the science and safety behind hemp. They want to create lasting, positive change—not just ring up sales.

These are common concerns, and the team addresses each one with care and clarity.
