Episode 64: This week on the Industrial Hemp Podcast we talk to hemp farmer Ben Davies from Wild Fox Farm in eastern Berks County, Pennsylvania, where he and his wife Karah have developed 17 different retail products from their high CBD hemp harvest – everything from lip balm and tinctures to herbal tea and pet products.
Davies explains how they developed the products, what tools they uses, how the farm nurtures relationships with local retail outlets, and many other nuggets of practical advice to help you turn your harvest into money.
