From Court to Calm: The Story Behind In a Pickle CBD

If you’ve played pickleball long enough, you know the feeling — aching muscles, tired joints, and that unstoppable urge to get back out there. Balancing play, recovery, and everyday wellness is what inspired In a Pickle CBD, a brand built by athletes for athletes who love the game and the lifestyle that comes with it.

From Farm to Court: The Story Behind In A Pickle

At In A Pickle, our mission grew from one simple observation — life, like pickleball, can get you “in a pickle” sometimes. The aches, the stress, the push to perform your best — they’re all part of the game. But the idea behind In A Pickle was never just about recovery; it was about connection.

How CBD and the Active-Lifestyle Community Collide

The inspiration came from the courts — the people who show up every day not just to play, but to move, to laugh, and to live better. The founders saw how many players struggled with soreness, fatigue, or stress recovery after long matches and wanted to offer something natural, safe, and effective to help them keep doing what they love.

CBD, when sourced and formulated correctly, supports balance — both physically and mentally. It promotes calm, helps manage inflammation, and supports faster recovery — all essential for those who play hard and live fully. By aligning a trusted CBD line with the active-lifestyle community, In A Pickle bridges wellness and movement. The name itself is a playful nod to pickleball culture, but also a reminder that even when life puts you “in a pickle,” you can always find your way out — healthier and stronger.

Game-Changing Products for Every Player

Pickleball can take a toll on your body—between long rallies, quick sprints, and weekend tournaments, players need products that keep up. In a Pickle CBD’s lineup is designed for real recovery and protection before, during, and after your time on the court. 

Game Changer Damage Reset Soothing Skin Salve (1,000mg CBD)
A must-have for the player who gives it their all. Designed to help reset and soothe skin after tough play, this high-potency salve is ideal for calming burns, bruises, and scrapes.

Game Changer THC-Free Clove Muscle Warming Gel Roll-On (1,800mg CBD)
Perfect for pre-match warmups or post-game cooldowns. This roll-on delivers targeted relief with a warming sensation powered by clove—great for easing tight muscles after long sessions.

Game Face Damage Control SPF 40 (Tinted + Non-Tinted)
Because outdoor players know the sun can be as tough as a fast serve. This broad-spectrum SPF hydrates while protecting against UV rays—available in both tinted and non-tinted formulas.

Lip Love Lip Balm
The Lip Love balm keeps your lips protected from sun and wind—two court-side essentials.

Together, these products make up a thoughtful collection that fits right into the pickleball lifestyle—functional, natural, and built for people who love to move.

The “Farm to Court” Difference

“Farm to Court” is our version of “farm to table” — a transparent journey from organically grown hemp fields to the hands of players looking for natural recovery and performance support.

It starts on a family farm where our hemp is grown without pesticides or harmful chemicals. Once harvested, each crop is carefully processed using clean extraction methods that result in a THC FREE CBD Isolate. Every batch is then third-party tested to verify purity, potency, and safety — because trust is earned, not assumed.

From there, our products are crafted with purpose — from muscle recovery gel, skin recovery salve and even skincare -  formulated to work hard, just like the athletes and enthusiasts who use them. By the time our CBD reaches the court, it’s been through a process that reflects our values: integrity, quality, and community.

For Players Who Care About Wellness

For pickleball players — whether weekend warriors or pros — In A Pickle isn’t just about easing post-match soreness. It’s about supporting a lifestyle where wellness fuels play and play fuels joy. “Farm to Court” ensures that what you’re putting on or in your body is as clean and trustworthy as the people you share the court with.

Because when your recovery is pure and your body feels good, the game gets even better.

Looking Ahead

As pickleball continues to grow, In a Pickle CBD is expanding right along with it—creating products designed for players, building community partnerships, and encouraging a healthier, happier way to live and play.
