FILE - In this Jan. 27, 2010 photo, Bag Balm products sit clustered at the company's headquarters in Lyndonville, Vt. The 115-year-old family business was sold in September 2014 to a group of investors who are promising to expand the brand, but not change the formula. Bag Balm began as a staple for dairy farmers treating the inflamed udders of cows, but over the generations, the salve has been used for everything from sunburns to the paws of dogs searching the World Trade Center's rubble after 9/11.

In this Thursday, July 10, 2014, photo, students taste a cannabis-infused dipping sauce prepared during a cooking class at the New England Grass Roots Institute in Quincy, Mass.

FILE - In this Feb. 11, 2009 file photo, a shopper looks over the milk aisle at the Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier, Vt. Vermont dairy farmers were paid a record high price for their milk in April 2014 and prices remain strong, driven in part by international demand for U.S. dairy products. The extra income is allowing farmers to pay off debt, repair equipment and make other investments, following challenging years in 2009 and 2012.
