WHO WE ARE
OUR SECRET
A unique and secret “ingredient” in Roman Empire Farms CBD products is Roman Pidhoreckyj, Oksana’s father. A successful lathe machinist, 51 years ago, he bought the farm in New York State’s Fort Plain, a village on the Mohawk River named after a fort built during the American Revolution. It was a summer and weekend getaway where Roman and his wife Olena, grew tomatoes, onions, cabbage, beets, string beans, cucumbers, and dill. Their homemade tomato sauce and canned pickles made them very popular with their Brooklyn neighbors. In recent years Roman has been fermenting blackberries into an elixir when added to tea is a wonderful remedy for cold symptoms. Roman was a natural to join Oksana and Adam’s hemp business!
