After getting the proper licenses and acquiring the ideal CBD strain from the Crawford brothers they began producing and distributing Tonic. Brittany is meticulous about the quality of her product and still does all the formulations and bottling in house. Her commitment to quality and her community has allowed Tonic to grow into the robust business it is today.
