Hemp Harvest 2012

Harvest is almost a month later than usual because of the crazy weather
… but the quality of the seed is fantastic!

This year we have been growing on farms where we plant additional areas with plants to increase birdlife and wildlife. In fact for every acre of hemp we planted, we planted an additional 10% of land with wildflowers, special grass mixes and food for the birds through the winter.

The combination of this work and the benefits of hemp have increased the birdlife dramatically – in fact the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) recently counted the birds seen in a section of the farm and found almost 70% increase from 5 years ago.
