Carolina Hemp Hut was founded in 2018 by Mary Lopez Carter, driven by a profound desire to enhance the well-being of her family and community.

This passion was ignited by personal challenges and the therapeutic potential of hemp. Mary’s journey into the hemp industry began when her husband, David Carter, faced a recurrence of malignant melanoma. The search for natural and effective solutions brought CBD, particularly full-spectrum CBD, into their lives, showing promising results not only for David but also for other family members struggling with anxiety and sleep issues.

Early Challenges and Milestones

The initial Carolina Hemp Hut location opened at the Streets at Southpoint Mall in Durham, North Carolina. Rapid growth and a strong customer base quickly necessitated a larger space, leading to the establishment of a flagship store in downtown Hillsborough. This store not only became a community favorite but also earned accolades as a top new business from Chapel Hill Magazine and received multiple “Best of the Triangle” awards from IndyWeek.

Expanding the Vision

With the success of the Hillsborough location, Carolina Hemp Hut expanded back into Durham with a new ‘Superstore.’ These physical stores, along with a robust online presence, allow the dedicated team of hemp professionals to provide exceptional education, service, and access to premium, affordable hemp products.

Community and Medical Endorsement

The store’s commitment to “healing, not the high” has fostered strong ties with the medical community in North Carolina’s Triangle area. Medical professionals frequently recommend Carolina Hemp Hut for its commitment to safety and education, making it a trusted source for high-quality hemp products. This trust is further evidenced by the high volume of referrals from healthcare providers.

Dedication to Quality and Safety

Mary’s rigorous selection process ensures that all products are organic and free from harmful additives. This dedication to quality has established Carolina Hemp Hut as a reputable source for hemp products. The store is known for its meticulous vetting process, ensuring that all items meet stringent quality standards before being offered to customers.

Looking Ahead

Carolina Hemp Hut continues to lead in the hemp industry by planning further expansions and continuously enhancing its product offerings. The team remains committed to educating the community, participating actively in local events, and providing products that uphold the highest standards of quality and efficacy.
