We’re two weeks past the Spring Equinox and the time has arrived to plant this year’s hemp crop. The last of the snow has melted but nights can still be quite cold here in Maine (and the days too!) through April and May, so the seeds get started indoors. This allows the plants to get…
You’ve probably hear the term “regenerative agriculture” or “regenerative farming” but what exactly does it mean? And why raise hemp using these methods? Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach to farming that seeks to restore, build, and nurture healthy soil, promote biodiversity, sustain healthy ecosystems, and foster an equitable and sustainable economy. It’s about taking…
Why do we grow our hemp flower outdoors rather than in the more controlled environment of an indoor space? Two main reasons we prefer outdoor sungrown flower: In our subjective experience–and we’re certainly not alone here–flower grown outside in living soil is better than flower grown indoors. Better in the sense that it has superior…
(note: FDA Disclaimer) It’s been hours since you went to bed exhausted yet here you are tossing and turning in frustration. Or maybe it’s the wee hours of the morning and you’ve woken long before it’s time to get up. These are just two of the more common scenarios people struggling with sleep face. Poor…
The big moment has arrived: the first hemp flowers are reaching the peak of ripeness and it’s time to begin the harvest. We’re about 2 weeks early this year, which is great as the weather can turn treacherous in October. Been quite a stretch of fair, dry weather since Labor Day, which helps ripen the…
It’s the last week of July and I’m just starting to see a few of the hemp plants beginning to flower–days are getting noticeably shorter now, about 14 1/2 hours today, enough to get the hemp started on the big transition from vegetative growth to flowering. A key milestone in the hemp growing season for…
Most of the hemp seedlings have been transplanted from their nursery pots into their final homes in the ground. With summer solstice coming up this week, everything is right on schedule. The young plants were just starting to outgrow their pots so they’re very happy to be in the earth now where their roots can…
Ever wonder how hemp gets processed into CBD products? Most people probably don’t give much thought to that question. But the method used to extract CBD from the plant impacts the quality of the final product. We use a straightforward traditional process of infusing whole hemp flower in warm coconut oil which we believe is…
The robins are back, the brook flows strong, and the nights grow shorter–all signs that it’s time to plant the hemp seeds here in midcoast Maine. As usual, I timed this year’s spring planting just after the new moon in April, which this year fell on the 7th. The idea with lunar planting is that…
Harvest time is when all the hard work through the growing season comes to fruition. After dodging Hurricane Lee early in September, the hemp plants soldiered on through the rest of September and ripened quickly. Hemp harvest 2023 began in late September and continued through the first weeks of October. This year was unusually warm…
