About Us

Our Story

Today’s hemp products don’t resemble hemp; they don’t look, smell, taste, or provide the same therapeutic experience. Even products labeled “full spectrum” only contain a few compounds out of the hundreds produced naturally by the plant.

In 2019, brothers Michael and Brian Lupario founded Western MA Hemp to solve this problem. Utilizing their decades worth of combined experience with the plant, they crafted a True to the Plant oil that naturally preserves more medicinal hemp compounds than any other product. Through this oil, their goal is to improve people’s daily wellness so they can live healthier lives.

Our Mission & Vision

Mission: To craft a True to the Plant hemp product that helps improve people’s daily wellness.

Vision: We envision a world where hemp products are in everyone’s medicine cabinets.

Our Guiding Principles

  1. The hemp plant is the foundation of any hemp product
  2. Its natural chemistry creates the most therapeutic experience
  3. Quality is determined by how well this chemistry is preserved

Our Farm

Settled in the hilltown of Chesterfield, Massachusetts is our two-acre farm where we grow our certified Massachusetts hemp. Each plant soaks up plenty of natural sunlight and rainfall along with organic fertilizers we brew ourselves. We utilize traditional organic farming methods like composting, cover cropping, and minimal tillage. We also avoid using plastic row covering to stay as sustainable as possible.
