Why farm hemp?2020-01-16T10:04:50-06:00

There is an opportunity to sell your floral material to a CBD processor and seeds to a granary. In addition, using hemp stalks instead of regular timber saves trees and reduces deforestation.

Who are the purchasers of hemp?2019-07-07T13:36:06-05:00

3rd party brokerages, like Patagonia, Bob’s Red Mill, and Sunstrand. 

How do we take delivery of raw hemp?2019-07-05T16:48:26-05:00
  1. Bailed, 6 feet – 8 feet tall with seeds and floral material removed.

  2. Free of mold.

  3. We do not take CBD stalks. We are creating a product line that will accommodate CBD stalks but have not invested in this production method yet.
