On this week’s hemp podcast, Lancaster Farming talks to Caleb Kauffman, owner of Lancashire Hemp in Lancaster County, where he has spent the past two years growing hemp and building a co-op with local farmers to grow CBD flower for the smokable hemp market.

Kauffman talks about why he started the co-op and why he believes the hemp industry can usher in a new paradigm of good business practices that focus on people rather than profits.

He also tells his own story of trauma and how his journey toward healing brought him into the world of industrial hemp.
