Best of the Triangle: Orange/Chatham Counties Winner for 2025

Award-Winning Hemp Wellness Leader Recognized as CBD, CBG, and Full-Spectrum Products Face Regulatory Uncertainty

This recognition isn’t just about a store winning an award — it’s about a community standing up for safe, responsible access to natural wellness when so many people depend on it.”

DURHAM, NC, UNITED STATES, December 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Just prior to the holidays, Carolina Hemp Hut was named the Best of the Best of the Triangle by Indy Week for the third time, a remarkable achievement that underscores the company’s deep community support, educational leadership, and consistent excellence in hemp-derived wellness products. Carolina Hemp Hut’s Hillsborough location secured the coveted title for the third time in the contest’s history — first winning in Hillsborough, then Durham, and now holding the regional crown again in Hillsborough.

This triumphant recognition comes at a pivotal moment as the U.S. hemp industry faces significant federal changes that could curb or even ban many legal hemp-derived products — including CBD, CBG, THCA, and other full-spectrum cannabinoids.

“Each award means the world because it comes from the people we serve,” said Mary Lopez Carter, founder of Carolina Hemp Hut. “Our mission is to offer safe, natural wellness options, and this recognition confirms the trust our community places in us — especially as the industry navigates uncertainty.”

Triumph Amid Regulatory Uncertainty
Carolina Hemp Hut has consistently led the Triangle in hemp wellness retail — but the industry that made this success possible is now under enormous pressure. Recent federal legislation included provisions that drastically redefine hemp limits, effectively threatening to restrict or ban many products widely used for therapeutic benefits. Industry experts have warned that these changes could severely impact small businesses that rely on hemp-derived cannabinoids for health and wellness support.

These shifts make Carolina Hemp Hut’s third Best of the Best recognition all the more significant — representing not just local consumer preference, but a stand for a community’s access to natural wellness.

A Legacy of Community Support and Education
Since opening its first location, Carolina Hemp Hut has made education and customer care a cornerstone of its mission. Visitors to the Hillsborough and Durham stores aren’t just buying products — they’re accessing guidance, research-backed recommendations, and responsible information on how cannabinoids like CBD and THCA can support conditions such as sleep disruption, stress, and pain.

The company also hosts an active blog with articles that help demystify hemp usage, including detailed information regarding products such as full spectrum CBD gummies and "What do Most People Choose for Better Sleep?" These posts provide community members with research-based context and practical tips for navigating an ever-shifting hemp landscape.
