LEEF Organics is a hemp CBD body-care brand from Willits, California, built by farmer Micah Anderson and creative lead Emily Heitman. It grew out of Paleo Paw, the partners' pet line, and sells scrubs, masques and roll-ons online and through spas and hotels across the U.S. Its CBD is hemp-derived, and the shop ships nationwide by USPS.
The brand sits inside LEEF Brands Inc., the California extraction company Anderson runs as CEO. That parent trades as LEEF on the Canadian Securities Exchange and LEEEF over the counter.
Paleo Paw, four dogs and a farmer
The story starts in a kitchen. Three friends began home-cooking for their dogs, Cash, Kaia, Kona and Maui, and the project became Paleo Paw, an organic, non-GMO, human-grade pet food. A CBD line for pets followed. Anderson, whom the company calls a "soil science black belt," led the partners into CBD, and LEEF was the next step: products for people.
Anderson brings more than 30 years of soil-based farming and started the brand's farms. "They say the best soil is a farmer's footsteps," the company writes, and it credits him with the LEEF vision before the brand existed. Leafly's brand page describes the line as 100% organic and non-GMO from soil to finished product, sun-grown in the mountains of Northern California.
Emily Heitman on the creative side
Heitman "wears the creative cap," in the company's words, after years in the pharmaceutical and beauty industries. She led marketing and creative work for multimillion-dollar brands before LEEF. The company says she has designed every package in the line to date and works on each product from education to packaging.
At the parent level, LEEF Brands listed Heitman as its chief revenue officer in March 2024.
LEEF Labs and the 2022 deal
At the gateway to the redwoods in Willits sits LEEF Labs, a 12,000-square-foot extraction facility. On January 25, 2022, Icanic Brands announced a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of LEEF Holdings. The release credited the Willits plant with Type 6 ethanol and Type 7 hydrocarbon extraction licenses, solventless capability, and monthly capacity of 45 tons of biomass and 3,000 liters of distillate.
The deal listed LEEF Organics, Healy and Paleo Paw among the brands. Icanic priced it at the higher of $120 million or twice LEEF's trailing 12-month revenue, payable in Icanic shares, plus earn-outs tied to revenue targets.
LEEF Brands, the ranch and Rudy Gobert
By 2024, LEEF Brands described itself as a vertically integrated California extraction and manufacturing company supplying bulk concentrates to California brands. Next to that licensed business it runs national CBD lines sold in stores, professional spa channels and online. Well-Kept, a CBD-infused honey, joined that side on March 18, 2024.
NBA All-Star Rudy Gobert signed on April 24, 2024, as an ambassador for LEEF Brands, LEEF Organics and Paleo Paw. The deal included an annual campaign that sends half its profits to his charitable foundation.
The parent kept building. In April 2025, LEEF Brands began planting 65 acres at Salisbury Canyon Ranch, a 1,900-acre property in Santa Barbara County, with 187 acres planned by 2027. Stock Titan reported that the company completed a US$14.5 million preferred share financing on August 3, 2026.
Six items on the 2026 shelf
In September 2026, the LEEF online store listed these items in stock:
- The Exfoliant, a fine-grain CBD body scrub with 225 milligrams of CBD, labeled THC-free, at $36.
- Shroom & Clay Masque, a 9-ounce clay and walnut-shell masque with 280 milligrams of CBD and 140 milligrams of CBG, at $36.
- A CBD roll-on at $40.
- The nooks + crannies mini case packs at $24.
- A terpene room spray at $16.
- A LEEF lighter at $3.50.
The Exfoliant builds on organic cane sugar with jojoba, avocado and coconut oils, while the masque pairs kaolin and bentonite clays with an herbal blend. Product pages link lab certificates of analysis, and the site's collections also cover gummies, balms and branded gear.
Spas, hotels and the stockist map
The retail footprint runs through spas and hotels. LEEF's Find Us page carries the line "Premiere hotels, spas and resorts trust LEEF," over logos that include The Ritz-Carlton, The Westin, Hyatt, Marriott, Omni, Wintergreen Resort, Wild Dunes and The Rittenhouse. Independent spas such as Mellow, Momentum and Sacred Oasis appear on the same wall.
Shops without the line can ask LEEF to reach out, and an affiliate program and a wholesale form cover the rest. Online orders placed before noon Pacific ship the same weekday.
That mail-order model separates LEEF from licensed topical makers such as Papa & Barkley, which sells through dispensaries. It lines up with Elixinol, which ships hemp CBD topicals and pet products online, the same two lanes LEEF Organics and Paleo Paw cover in 2026.
