Steve's Goods β Press Room
I'm Steve Schultheis. I've been extracting, formulating, and packing hemp products in Louisville, Kentucky since 2016. Steve's Goods is an independent manufacturer β we are not a brand that contracts production elsewhere. The hemp comes from Kentucky. The extraction, formulation, and packing happen here.
Our product lines span CBD oils, gummies, softgels, topicals, concentrates, and pet SKUs. We also do wholesale bulk ingredients β distillate, isolates β and co-manufacturing for other brands. We compete at industry events. We publish our lab results per batch.
What We'll Talk About
Happy to discuss any of the following with journalists, researchers, or podcast hosts:
- H.R. 5371 and the November 12, 2026 enforcement date β what the total-THC container cap means for small manufacturers, and how we're reformulating ahead of it.
- Kentucky hemp manufacturing β what it actually costs, what the supply chain looks like, what it takes to run a compliant small-batch operation.
- Third-party testing and COA transparency β how batch testing works in practice, what responsible testing looks like vs. checkbox compliance.
- Wholesale and co-manufacturing β the B2B side of the hemp industry, what small brands need to know about ingredient sourcing.
- Formulation decisions β why we use fruit pectin instead of gelatin, why we use organic tapioca syrup, how minor cannabinoid formulations are developed.
What We Won't Do
We don't make medical claims about cannabinoids in press contexts any more than we do on product pages. We won't speculate on competitors' compliance status. We won't guarantee consumer outcomes. If an interview angle requires those kinds of statements, it's not a fit.
