In a new podcast series, called "Spotlight on Small Wonen Owned Businesses , we interviewed Oksana Pidhoreckyj , co-founder of Roman Empire Farms, a company that produced small-batch CBD Hemp products. She discusses her CBD hemp company based in upstate New York. Established in 2019, the company offers tinctures, gummies, and topicals for humans and pets, emphasizing natural, hand-planted, and hand-harvested products. Oksana and her partner, both media professionals, started the business after noticing the benefits of CBD for their senior cat. They use organic fertilizers and biodynamic growing methods. Despite challenges like weather and marketing, they aim to expand their product line and become a household name. Oksana advises entrepreneurs to persist through challenges.
