CBD hemp - the what, the why, the how, and the economics of raising hemp on a small scale farm?

Rand Gifford grew a crop of CBD hemp on his farm in NC this year. He learned a ton along the way. He sells to 5 different locations and is starting to make value-added products through his own brand.

In this interview, he shares with us the details of what this production looks like on his farm and why you might consider growing it. 

You can find Rand on the web at his farm’s website; Akira Botanicals. He also has a YouTube channel at Greenshine Farmers, which he started back from the beginning of their farm. You can follow him on Instagram @AkiraBotanicals and @GreenshineFarms.
