Why Hemp?
The 2018 farm bill reclassified industrial hemp as a commodity crop, making it legal once again. This has opened up a world of possibilities. Potential health benefits are only the tip of the iceberg. Hemp cultivation dates back more than 10,000 years and hemp has been utilized for hundreds of products from food to fuel to fiber.
Aside from the health and wellness benefits of CBD, hemp has the power to transform the environment and strengthen local economies while having a positive impact on the environment for the future of our children. Hemp is environmentally regenerative, restoring air, water and soil. Read more
