Meet Stephen Rowland
When owner Stephen Rowland started working at Upstate Hemp, then owned by Stan and Cara Shuttelworth, he had no idea how much it would change his life.
He started working at the store while studying for medical school. His background in biology and science made him a quick learner as he educated himself about the store’s products and the effects of CBD and hemp products on the body.
His passion for the products began after using a CBD sleep aid to help with his erratic sleep schedule from studying for the MCAT. The first night after trying it, he woke up refreshed from his first good night’s sleep in a long time. Since then, Stephen has made it his mission to share the benefits of natural remedies with the Easley community. His passion for the store and its products made it a natural decision for Stan and Cara to pass ownership of the store to Stephen when they decided to sell in 2020.
