Bassist for The Elovaters
Kait founded the company with her partner John Labo
from their own gardens in Marshfield, Mass, right on
the coast & minutes from the Levitate store & festival
ground. "John has been a part of Levitate the surf
shop since its early days when it was a tiny shop in
the upstairs of a building in the center of town," Kait
said of her partner. "Having spent most of his days
out on the water surfing, he was naturally very close
to the original owner Bob. He also surged with and
lived out in Hawaii with Levitate’s current owner, Dan
Hassett. We've been attending Levitate Music Festival
since its early years. Not only is it right up the street
from where we live, we also feel their ideas & vibes
of creating something that is locally homegrown for
our community," she said. "Being a part of Levitate’s
festival whether as vendors or attendees has always
felt special, & we hope Bob would be extremely proud
of what his original brand has now become, especially
the part of how it brings the community together.
Stoked to have heard that it is going to remain in
Marshfield, where it belongs!"

The quality of she & John's products was so vibrant,
I'm definitely going online at www.south-shore-cbd.
com to try some of that luscious-looking CBD-infused
honey they had on display. According to Kait, the
honey is locally sourced from the South Shore area to help with allergies, sleep aid, & inflammation.
"The products we make here at South Shore CBD are designed to create an overall healing and
rejuvenating effect, whether for medicinal reasons, preventative maintenance, or relaxation to name a
few. Our products focus on healing the body & keeping it in homeostasis, so we try and use as many
homegrown and organic ingredients as possible," says Kait. "We do lollipops as a fun addition to our
lineup, though with a higher sugar content - I mainly recommend those as a relaxation recreational
use. The salves & tinctures are available in both an isolated CBD version & Full Spectrum, or whole
planet material."
I also got another invaluable product at the South Shore CBD tent - tincture for my dog who broke his
leg before he turned a year old. Since he had the injury so young, the vet said that leg will always be
weaker & he will likely develop arthritis later in life. I spoke to a local customer at the tent who said the
CBD isolate helped bring her aging cat back to his playful self again with raving reviews of the pain
relief for her beloved pet. After buying & trying it for my little guy, I will definitely be keeping the tincture
on hand for our pup. After the first dose, his back leg stopped shaking when he sat or lied down.
After the first 2 days, he was limping less. After the first week, he could go farther distances on our
walks. The tinctures can be used for both people & their pets, & gotta say, it is true medicine.
"Our best-selling product at the festival was our Lavender Lemonade, though the tinctures & salves
were also popular," Kait said. "The tinctures are infused with Hemp Seed Oil to keep it as close to the
idea of consuming the hemp plant in its entirety. Hemp seed oil is also a super food, high in proteins
and omegas. The Salves are coconut oil & beeswax based that contain various locally grown herbs/
plants from our garden. The full spectrum & CBD isolate salves vary in the herbs used for each, but
all created to give a healing, soothing & moisturizing effect."
