While our farm started with a homestead in 1893, our company had its beginning in the fall of 2019 with just an idea. In the spring of 2020, we planted our first CBD hemp crop of 10 acres, and we also built a drying facility and a processing facility to remove stems and sticks from the biomass. After drying and processing our crop, we hired an extraction company to extract a small part of our biomass (five totes) and work with us to formulate/develop retail products that we requested.

During the winter of 2020-2021 we incorporated as "Country Sunshine, Inc."

Again in 2021 we planted hemp, and plan to continue to plant, process, extract, and formulate as needed to supply our retail sales with CBD products from our own organically grown hemp. In 2024 one of our two family owners left the company, and we are now a sole proprietorship having a single owner (Dr. Jim Larsgaard).
