Jim Higdon co-founded Cornbread Hemp in late 2018. By the end of 2019, Cornbread Hemp had become the first Kentucky brand to offer USDA Organic CBD oils, which helped establish Cornbread Hemp as a major national CBD brand. Higdon got his start in the cannabis industry as a book author and journalist. His first book, The Cornbread Mafia, tells the story of the largest domestic marijuana syndicate in American history, which was headquartered in his hometown of Lebanon, Kentucky. After the success of that book, Higdon became a nationally recognized journalist, covering cannabis issues for POLITICO and Kentucky news for the Washington Post before leaving journalism to co-found Cornbread Hemp as the chief communications officer, with his cousin, Eric Zipperle, the CEO.
