Columbia Basin Bioscience

What Columbia Basin Bioscience does

Columbia Basin Bioscience is a privately held, vertically integrated wholesale supplier of hemp-derived CBD and CBG ingredients, headquartered in Hermiston, Oregon. The company controls the entire production chain on a single site — from 2,000+ acres of pesticide-free, certified organic hemp cultivation in the Columbia River Basin through proprietary drying, pelletization, sub-zero frozen storage, cryo-ethanol extraction, and three-stage distillation — producing five core SKUs: CBD isolate, CBG isolate, full-spectrum distillate, broad spectrum (THC-free) distillate, and crude hemp oil, available in bulk volumes from 1kg to 1,000+ liters.

The company's underlying technology platform is built around capital-intensive, purpose-built equipment designed in-house: the world's largest custom hemp dryers with computerized loading, a proprietary hive-design extraction line with PLC-controlled robotic automation and multi-stage filtration from 50 down to 1 micron, and a three-stage distillation system rated at over 1,000 liters of full-spectrum distillate per day with a stated capacity to process 50,000+ pounds of biomass per day. The closed-loop architecture is positioned to eliminate contamination entry points and enable Just-In-Time extraction and same-day shipment for large orders. The facility includes a 20,000+ sq ft ISO 3 clean lab for research and process development.

Columbia Basin Bioscience operates a sales-led, B2B wholesale go-to-market, selling bulk ingredient volumes to consumer product manufacturers across natural healing, health & beauty, nutritional supplements, and CBD brands under quote-based, volume-tiered pricing with minimum order quantities. Revenue mechanics are one-time wholesale transactions on ingredient shipments, supplemented by a client portal for repeat-customer order management. Distribution is domestic U.S., led by a small enterprise sales function (Director of Sales based in Denver), with no direct-to-consumer or retail channel. The company holds GMP certification from AIB International and is the first extraction facility certified under ASTM International's CANNQ/HEMPQ Certification Program, both obtained in 2021 to support institutional buyer requirements. The business is wholly founder-owned following a $134M private investment in 2020.
