With products containing up to 4,000 milligrams of CBD, lost range expands into larger production facility in Steamboat Springs

The CBD maker, which lost production scope, moved to a larger facility in February to catch up with growth, but co-owner Matt Hook said the Steamboat-based brand remains true to its roots. said there is.

“Our products are all natural and handcrafted in small batches,” Phuc says. “They are all third-party tested and we share all the tests on our website with our customers. All the ingredients listed on the back of the package are all natural and that’s what sets it apart.” but he is one.”

Co-owner and founder Given Johnson added that the high potency of the CBD products offered by Lost Range, whose name is spelled entirely in lowercase letters, also makes this business different.

“I would say it’s our potential,” Johnson said when asked about the characteristics of the range loss. “And there is also the fact that we are all natural and handcrafted in small batches.

Muscle Joint Rub, which contains 500-1,000 milligrams of CBD, and the even stronger Gold Buckle, which contains 2,000-4,000 milligrams of CBD, are Lost Range’s flagship products.

“This was the first time we made one,” Johnson said of muscle-joint friction. “It’s the same recipe for five years. Nothing has changed except the addition of the Gold Buckle, which quadruples potency.”

The company moved its production facility to a new space in Downhill Plaza in February. Twice as large as the old facility, his 2,000-square-foot store is located at 2835 Downhill Plaza, 601 and includes a small boutique where customers can visit and learn about the 16 product lines Lost Range offers. is included.

There is also an office area where staff take care of the company’s day-to-day operations, a fulfillment area where products are ready for shipment, and a second floor that provides a large production facility where Lost Range creates its products.

In addition to Lost Range muscle and joint massages, the company also offers other topical remedies, bath salts, bath bomb powders, soaps, sublingual tinctures (both full-spectrum and isolates), and a range of massage oils. . The brand also launched full-spectrum gummies last fall.

Hook claims Lostrange’s CBD products are effective for sore muscles and joints after training or running. Many of his customers come for products that they believe may help treat multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, or help with arthritis comfort.

“It’s not clinically proven, so you can’t make that claim,” Phuc said. “But a large part of our customer base is people with those kinds of symptoms.”

The Steamboat Springs business has seen tremendous growth since it started here in 2018.

“Since our inception, our company has grown at a rate of more than 25% every year, and this year we have recorded a 40% year-on-year growth in five months, we are growing rapidly, and the acceleration is very high. “It’s up,” Hook said. “We have commercial customers in all 50 states and wholesale partners in 29 states. That’s the exact number of states we have today, and that number continues to grow.”

Hook said Lost Range has only brought new customers to the East Coast, including Martha’s Vineyard and the New England area.

In Steamboat Springs, Lost Range products can be found at Rocky Mountain Day Spa, Biro Premium Cannabis, Urban Clothing, Aspen Botanicals Community Apothecary and Ski House. Phuc also said there are many private massage therapists who have lost their range.

Marketing for CBD manufacturers is largely a grassroots movement, relying on word of mouth from a loyal customer base. The company also has a store at the Steamboat Farmers Market on Main Street during the summer.

“A lot of our marketing and branding was grassroots,” says Hook. “We like to host a farmer’s market where he distributes samples of our products. We believe he has distributed 50,000 samples in the last six months.”

Both Johnson and Hook said Lostrange wants to go green, and the company is moving away from plastic and toward more sustainable packaging for its bath salts, bath bomb powders and gummies.

“We’re just trying to stay away from plastic as much as possible,” Johnson said.

The goal, they said, is to put quality products on the shelves that consumers know exactly what’s in them and know exactly what’s in the package.

All of Lost Range’s products are produced in-house, Hook said, and the CBD is sourced from a farm farm in Hotchkiss, which uses all-organic methods and tests the soil in which the products are grown. said it consists of small, niche family farms that The extraction facility, run by a friend of Johnson’s, utilizes a unique third-party testing service that not only ensures product consistency, but also tests for pesticides and metals.

“We take the raw CBD and make the final product and test it again,” Hook said. “It goes through three layers of testing and I think that’s a big reason why we always get positive feedback. Because we know, it offers exactly what they’re looking for: purified CBD and natural ingredients.”

In addition to building quality products, Johnson and Hook want to build a culture that has lost its reach of support and investment in its community as it continues to grow.

“As we grow, we want to continue giving back,” Hook said. “If you look at Steamboat and some of the big brands that came out of it (Big Agnes, Smartwool, etc.), it’s kind of a really cool incubator. I really think it’s like the next big brand to come.”
