Farmer of the month: Henry
Henry hails from South Carolina and has the greatest amount of experience with hemp.
Q: What made you decide to be a hemp farmer?
A: Growing hemp was an idea that came while discussing the future of our family's legacy. The process to becoming a family hemp farm has not been without challenges but we are closer because of it. Our family all believes that this plant and the quality of its products will add value to the marketplace. Being able to see the plant go from seed to product has been a very fulfilling process.
Q: What has been the most surprising thing you’ve learned in this process of getting ready to plant our first crop?
A: The versatility of the plant itself has produced many different uses for different parts of the plant. We are able to maximize its production and minimize waste, which is very cool to see in practice.
Q: What’s your favorite thing about hemp?
A: I love that hemp CBD oil is helping so many people regain calmness, diminish headaches and joint pain, regain vitality, and addressing so many other ailments.
Q: What type of hemp products are your favorite?
A: Presently I am a huge fan of the Sativa Oils because of the energizing and stimulating effect. Planning and working though this process sometimes my thoughts and brain are fatigued and cloudy. I have found that the THC Free Sativa CBD is really great for those seeking mental energy without the buzz or "high" feeling keeping you sharp.
Q: Is there anything else that you'd like to add?
A: I am extremely excited to help bring this family product, which started as just a concept into reality. 41 Farms LLC is producing quality and ethically sourced Hemp products on our family's farm.
