Where It All Began

The Story Behind Source CBD

Founded by Ian & Chance Pedersen, Source CBD exists to provide high-quality hemp-derived products you can trust, with transparency and education at the heart.

 

Some companies start with a business plan.

Source CBD started with a moment that changed everything.

In 2013, photographer Chance Pedersen was asked to document the birth of a baby girl named Kyrsten. Doctors had diagnosed her with a rare condition called anencephaly, and her parents believed the photos might be the only memories they would have with their daughter.

The room was filled with quiet anticipation as everyone prepared for a moment they knew would be difficult.

But Kyrsten surprised everyone.

She lived.

As she grew, Kyrsten faced many challenges, including frequent seizures. Her family began searching for ways to support her quality of life. During that search, they began learning about CBD, something many people were only just starting to hear about at the time.

Finding a product they trusted was not easy.

Chance turned to her husband, Ian Pedersen, who had spent years working in the cannabis and hemp industry in Arizona. Ian understood how important sourcing, formulation, and transparency were in an industry that was still very new.

Together they began researching CBD from around the world, determined to find a product they felt confident sharing with Kyrsten’s family.

What began as a search to help one child quickly grew into something much bigger.

Friends began asking questions. Then neighbors. Soon more people in the community were curious about hemp and CBD but were struggling to find products they trusted.

That curiosity became the foundation for Source CBD.

From the very beginning, the mission has been simple. Create high-quality hemp products while helping people better understand the plant itself.

Education and transparency have always been at the heart of Source CBD. As the hemp industry has grown, the commitment to quality and consistency has remained the same.

Today, Source CBD serves families, athletes, and pet owners who are interested in incorporating hemp into their daily wellness routines. The company also supports animal sanctuaries and organizations throughout Arizona, reflecting a belief that wellness extends beyond people.

Over the past decade, the conversation around hemp and plant-based wellness has continued to grow. More people are asking questions, learning about CBD, and looking for natural ways to support their everyday routines.

At Source CBD, we believe that access to clear information and high-quality hemp products should always go hand in hand. Our goal has never been just to create products, but to help people better understand the plant and the role it can play in modern wellness.

And the story that started it all continues.

Today, Kyrsten is 13 years old. What began as a search to support one child eventually became the foundation for Source CBD. To this day, Source CBD continues to provide Kyrsten with CBD as part of her family’s wellness routine.

Her story remains a powerful reminder of why Source CBD exists.

Because this company was never just about creating products.

It was about sharing something meaningful with others.

Transparency

We believe people deserve to know exactly what they are putting into their bodies. That’s why quality sourcing and testing are essential to everything we do.

Quality

Every product we create is developed with care, consistency, and attention to detail.

Education


The hemp plant is powerful, but it is also widely misunderstood. Our mission has always included helping people learn about CBD and how it fits into modern wellness.

Rooted in Nature. Backed by Science.

At Source CBD, we believe the best wellness solutions begin in nature and are strengthened by thoughtful research and formulation.

Our goal is to create hemp-derived products that people feel confident incorporating into their daily routines. From tinctures and gummies to topical products and pet formulas, every product is created with the same philosophy that started it all.

A commitment to quality. A commitment to transparency. And a belief that education should always come first.
