I had to readjust my goals after choosing to leave behind the failing h**p farming prospects of ga. The license fees kept adding while the restrictions were more unforgiving. So last year I decided to leave behind h**p farming.

I’ve focused on my medicinal plants, and expanding our forest farming endeavors. We will start offering small batch farm products (tinctures, salves, etc) again soon, as well as live plants and harvested/foraged products.

Another goal is expanding the consulting and educational services we offer. With more focus on indigenous plant reintroduction, invasive plant reduction/replacement, holistic farming practices, and of course private classes.

Keep a look out for a full website overhaul, direction changes, and more soon! Please reach out if you have any suggestions or requests.

so will we

Supported by our Mother Earth
Healing her, is healing ourselves

Now, in a new letter clarifying that limit, a top Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) official says the threshold includes not only delta-9 THC itself but also the re...
