Hi there,
My journey has been one of rediscovery and purpose, shaped by my love for working on the land and a desire to serve others. In reflecting on the life I wanted to lead, I asked myself a simple question: What type of career would I enjoy for the rest of my life? The answer came in two parts—service to others and growing plants. This realization not only grounded my personal philosophy but also inspired me to start a company, Happy Pharms. I'm filled with energy and vision for what 2025 has to offer. But I'm going to make this short and sweet; I love making connections and enjoying community- feel free to reach out at any time: joe@happypharmscbd.com

My Story
Welcome to our website—a glimpse into who we are and what we do. One of love’s greatest gifts is the ability to create lasting memories with that special someone. I want to take a moment to thank my incredible wife, Stephanie. Without her, none of this would be possible. Everything I have is enriched because I have such an amazing partner and lover to share it with.
​
As we share our journey with you, I hope my core message resonates: it’s time to take back authority and control of our health. For me, that journey began with reconnecting to the land. I made the transition from using pain meds, primarily, to using only "hemp-derived" products over a three or four year period. It's been a been a game-changer for me and many of our customers will say as much. The benefits of hemp and its derivatives are remarkable, and anyone who knows me knows I’m passionate about the future of this incredible plant. Hemp has a rich history, and some of my favorite stories highlight its role in advancing technology and innovation. Sharing these products and services with our customers is an honor because we deeply believe in the immense potential of the ever-versatile hemp plant.

After years of traveling and mostly apartment living — we moved back to my hometown of Bell, Florida. Living on acreage truly allows you to live on the land AND with the land. Those experiences are deeply woven into everything we do. Gardening began as a hobby but quickly became a way of life. We've grown a variety of crops: flowers, peppers, beans, okra, onion, tomatoes, potatoes, peach goliath, lifter and more.

I’m especially thankful for the opportunity to grow hemp. If you had told me years ago, even while I was still in the Air Force, that by 2025 we’d be growing cannabis legally, I may not have believed it. Back then, smokable hemp and marijuana were barely differentiated and most states lacked guidance for CBD users. So to be here now, doing what I love, is something I deeply appreciate. I credit the American public who put leaders in the House and all of the progress the 2018 Farm Bill allows. I think it's clear for anyone who is familiar with the cannabis industry, the people have spoken. Since many derivatives (and deltas) are categroized as legal and in compliance with the 2018 farm bill and subsequent statutes, more and more people are opening up to hemp-drived cbd and thc. It's also important to note that more and more studies are supporting the idea of CBD supplements for natural, organic alternative therapies. I enjoy the salves for muscular relief and needless to say, we test all of our products regularly to ensure highest quality is achieved and customers are satisfied.​

Everything we do is evolving, and as the saying goes, "it’s all about the journey." Thank you for being part of ours. Have a good one!
