On this week’s episode, we talk to Dave Andrews from Kreider Farms, the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, producer of Chiques Creek Hemp Eggs, the first commercially available hemp-fed eggs on the market in the United States.
Chiques Creek Hemp Eggs usher in a new era of agricultural products as hemp gains acceptance as a feed for laying hens. Because of the generations-long prohibition of hemp and recent changes in federal policy, hemp is now poised to be a game-changer for livestock producers around the country with its excellent nutritional profile.
We talk to Andrews about why Kreider Farms has worked so diligently on this expensive endeavor to bring hemp-fed eggs to market, along with its brand of hemp tea.
“We're not just promoting hemp eggs or even hemp tea,” Kreider said. “We're trying to participate in the whole hemp renaissance because we recognize that it's going to be big for American agriculture, you know, for fiber and for food and building materials and molded car parts. It's just endless in terms of all the applications for hemp. And so it's a big deal.”
