The whole world weighs on my heart these days. The pandemic. The fires. The political uncertainty. The Interim Final Rule. The idea that hemp farmers could become criminals if their crops go hot. All of this stuff is heavy and I’ve started to feel disconnected and a little disillusioned.

So for my one hundred and first Industrial Hemp Podcast episode, I decided to hit the road in effort to reconnect with hemp farmers and hemp farms, hoping the trip would reinvigorate my spirit and inspire me to keep producing the hemp podcast.

 I visited four hemp farms in Chester and Lancaster Counties: Paradise Hemp Farm in West Grove, Hemp-Alternative in Kennett Square, Oakley farm in Christiana, and Cedar Meadow Farm in Holtwood.
