On this episode Matt & Ryan speak with Cass & Chris from Grow Missouri Hemp. They are homesteaders in Southwestern Missouri who use hemp for as much as possible on their farm. They recently hosted a hemplime workshop to build a shower/outhouse on the farm and have used hemplime for renovations of other structures on their property as well. They are experimenting with growing fiber varieties to see what genetics will work best in MO, use hemp hurd for their chicken bedding, and host many different events throughout the year on their large property in the Ozark Mountains.
