Merced CBD, Made by the Sisters, Right Here in Town
When folks search for Merced CBD, we want them to know they have a maker in their own backyard. We are Sisters of the Valley, and Merced is our home. We are not a faceless company shipping CBD from a warehouse three states away. The women who make this medicine grow plants, blend formulations, and pour every jar by hand in our enclave here in Merced County, the way our sisterhood has done from our earliest days. If you have been looking for CBD in Merced, you have a maker close by, and we would be glad to walk you through what we make and how to choose what is right for you.
Your Local Source for Merced CBD
Merced is the county seat and largest city in Merced County, often called the Gateway to Yosemite and home to a University of California campus. As the city has grown, so has interest in plant-based wellness, CBD included. What Merced has not had much of is a homegrown maker, and that is exactly where our sisterhood comes in.
Wherever you are in town, downtown near the historic Main Street district, out by the college in South Merced, along the Highway 99 corridor in the southeast, or up north near the mall, we can get our handmade CBD to you quickly, because we are right here. Order before noon and your package ships the same day, and when you are in the same city as the people making your medicine, it usually arrives within a day or two. You can browse everything we make in a few minutes and place your order from the couch, or stop by our G Street home in person.
Why Merced Folks Choose Our Sisterhood
Being based in Merced means we are your neighbors, not a corporation. Our enclave sits at 3144 G Street, and we have been part of this community for years. The women who make this medicine grow their own plants, blend their own formulations, and pour prayer and intention into every product during the moon cycles. If you have never heard of a sisterhood making CBD that way, we understand the surprise, and it is exactly what sets what we make apart from the mass-produced products on gas station and smoke shop shelves.
Our sisterhood was founded on respect for the earth and all its creatures, around the activism of Sister Kate. We live by the spiritual traditions of our enclave, treat our work as a sacred calling, and pour care into every bottle and jar that leaves Merced.
What Makes Us Different
- Moon cycle craft: we time our work to the cycles of the moon, beginning each batch on the new moon.
- Handmade in small batches: every product is made by hand, with attention a mass-production line cannot match.
- Made with prayer and intention: prepared in a spiritual environment, with prayers for the people sewn into every jar.
- Made in Merced: we are not shipping in from somewhere else. Our enclave has been right here in Merced County for years.
- Third-party lab tested: every batch is tested for potency and purity. Read the results on our lab test results page.
- Women-led and direct to you: no middlemen, no big-box brand. The women who make this medicine are the ones who answer the phone.
The Merced CBD Landscape, Honestly
For a city this size, the CBD retail scene in Merced is thin. You will find some products at smoke shops, vape stores, and a few health food shops, and there are cannabis dispensaries in town that carry CBD alongside their cannabis lines, though CBD is rarely their focus. We name the local options plainly because we believe in being honest with our people. We think a handmade, women-led, direct-to-consumer maker is a different kind of choice, and we would rather earn your trust by being straight with you than by pretending we are the only option in the Valley.
This gap is part of why our sisterhood has built such a loyal following here. Folks in Merced who want quality CBD have not had many local makers, and we have been here crafting handmade products by hand since before most people in town knew what CBD was. The nearest specialized shopping outside of us usually means driving to Modesto or Fresno or ordering from a company in another state, and neither makes much sense when there is a well-established maker right here in Merced working by hand with clean ingredients.
What We Make
Our product line has grown over years of craft and customer feedback. Each format serves a purpose, so you can pick what fits your life and your goals.
- CBD topical salve (our most loved): our signature, made with hemp-based CBD, coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E, calendula, olive oil, and a choice of lavender or mint, in several sizes.
- CBD infused oil: hemp-based CBD with coconut oil and blood orange for a mild flavor, in regular and double strength, with a dropper for easy dosing.
- CBD capsules: for folks who like a precise, consistent serving without the taste of oil.
- CBD for pets: a gentle, fragrance-free pet oil for the four-legged members of the family. Always start with a microdose and keep seeing your veterinarian.
Beyond our core CBD, we also make CBD tea, soaps, our tiny Miniature Metties for travel and gifting, mushroom coffee, and curated bundles. If you are not sure where to begin, a bundle is a friendly way to try a few things at once.
How to Choose Your Merced CBD
Picking CBD does not have to be complicated. Most of it comes down to how you want to use it and how much guidance you want on dosing. Here is how our people tend to self-select.
| If you want | Reach for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Targeted comfort for a specific spot | CBD salve | Rubs right onto the area you want to tend, in lavender or mint |
| Flexible, faster-absorbing dosing | CBD oil | Take it under the tongue, add to food, adjust drop by drop |
| Simple, consistent daily servings | CBD capsules | No measuring, no taste, easy to remember |
| To care for a pet | CBD pet oil | Fragrance-free, microdose to start, vet-guided |
| To try a little of everything | CBD bundles | A friendly, lower-commitment way to find your favorite |
A few honest things to weigh, no matter who you buy from: read the lab report for the batch, look at both the total CBD and the amount per serving so you can compare fairly, ask how a product is made, and know where the hemp comes from. We make our products by hand with clean, carefully sourced plants, and we publish our testing openly.

How CBD Fits a Wellness Routine
CBD is not a cure for anything, and we will never tell you otherwise. What our people tell us is that, used steadily, it can become a small, grounding part of a day. Many fold a little oil into the morning, keep a jar of salve by the bed or in a gym bag, and treat it like any other gentle daily ritual. As with anything new, talk with your own doctor first, especially if you take other medications, are pregnant or nursing, or are managing a health condition.
We make this medicine the slow way, by hand and by the moon, because the women who came before us did. When our neighbors in Merced choose us, they are not just buying a jar. They are joining a circle that believes plant medicine should be made with care and sold with honesty.
A Word on CBD and the Law in California
We want to be straight with you, because the rules in California have been shifting. Hemp-derived CBD has long sat under the federal hemp framework and California's own program, and the simple shorthand for years was that hemp CBD under the legal THC threshold could be sold widely. That picture has grown more nuanced as the state continues to work through its hemp regulations. Rather than hand you a flat promise that it is all legal everywhere, we will tell you what we know: our products are hemp-derived with less than 0.3 percent THC, lab tested, sold to adults, and shipped where the law currently allows.
For the most current picture, we point folks to the official sources rather than our word for it. You can review guidance from the California Department of Public Health hemp program and broader federal information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If you ever have a question about what we can ship to your address, just contact us and we will give you an honest answer. One thing has not changed: our products are non-intoxicating, made to honor the plant, not to get anyone high.
Common Questions About Merced CBD
Can I visit the Sisters of the Valley in person in Merced?
Yes. Our enclave is at 3144 G Street, Ste 125-205, in Merced. You are welcome to reach out to us with questions, and you can call us at (209) 626-6601 during business hours.
How fast is delivery within Merced?
We ship same day for orders placed before noon Pacific time. Because we are right here in town, local orders usually arrive within a day or two.
Is there a dedicated CBD shop in Merced?
Merced's CBD retail scene is thin. A few smoke shops, vape stores, and health food shops carry some CBD, and cannabis dispensaries carry it alongside their cannabis lines, but CBD is rarely the focus. Our sisterhood is a handmade, women-led maker right here in town.
Will CBD show up on a drug test?
Standard drug tests screen for THC, not CBD. Our products contain less than 0.3 percent THC, which is generally not enough to trigger a positive result. If you are subject to regular testing, check with your employer or testing facility first.
What is the difference between CBD and marijuana?
CBD is a non-intoxicating compound found in both hemp and marijuana. Products sold as CBD come from hemp, which contains less than 0.3 percent THC and produces no high. Marijuana carries much more THC and is intoxicating. Our CBD is hemp-derived and will not get you high.
Can I give CBD to my pets?
Many of our people use CBD with pets dealing with everyday stress or discomfort. We make a pet CBD oil for dogs and cats. Start with a microdose and check with your vet before beginning any supplement for your animal.
The Sisters of the Valley Story
Who makes your CBD matters, especially in a market full of anonymous labels. Our sisterhood was founded in Merced County around the activism of Sister Kate, Christine Meeusen, who came to plant medicine through her own hard-won experience and a conviction that natural remedies belong in people's hands. We draw inspiration from the Beguines, medieval European women who lived in spiritual communities outside the church hierarchy. Like them, we live by our own vows of service and simple living, we wear our habits, and we treat our work as a calling. You can read more on our story page.
Over the years our story has been told in major outlets and a feature documentary, and our sisterhood has grown into a recognized name in plant-based wellness. Through all of it, the heart of the work has stayed the same: women, plants, prayers, and the moon.
Buying Local: CBD Made in Merced
When you buy from our sisterhood, you keep money in your own community. Every order supports local jobs and helps sustain a small Merced business. We employ local women, buy from regional vendors whenever we can, and put a share of what we earn toward advocacy for plant medicine and for small makers in this field. We are part of Central Valley commerce, and we understand the agricultural traditions and community values that shape life here.
