Mission

At Vermontourage, we believe in the power of nature to heal & inspire. We're proud to call Vermont home, and to be part of this amazing community. We're committed to using locally sourced, natural, organic ingredients in all of our products and we're dedicated to supporting other like-minded businesses. 

Our mission is to help others elevate their lives with cannabis, both physically & mentally, and to ignite a sense of inspiration which encourages more time outside, in nature. 

To expand the wellness effects of our products, in addition to cannabis, we will include herbs and other plant-like materials such as mushrooms.

My first experience with medicinal cannabis was in 2016 when my physical therapist introduced me to a 1:1 (THC:CBD) tincture. I had suffered a serious back injury 3 years prior, was on and off pain meds, and was living with chronic pain. I was blown away by the instant relief that the tincture provided without any psychoactive effects. It quickly became a staple in my daily routine and I know it was an instrumental part of my recovery. 
Since then, I've introduced cannabis products to friends and family for a wide range of physical and mental ailments ranging from cancer to rheumatoid arthritis, depression, and insomnia. 
We're inspired by the "Entourage Effect," a century-old theory in herbalism which proclaims that combining multiple herbs will provide a wider range of benefits as opposed to taking them individually. In the world of cannabis, this concept has been applied to extracting and combining specific cannabinoids to maximize their impact.
