Wilmore, Kentucky is a small town in Jessamine County, in the heart of the Bluegrass region. Kentucky has one of the deepest hemp farming histories in the United States, hemp was a major agricultural crop in Kentucky from colonial times through World War II, when Kentucky farmers grew hemp for military rope and canvas. After decades of prohibition, Kentucky was among the first states to re-establish a hemp pilot program, and our farm was part of that revival.
The land here is good for hemp, well-drained soil, reliable rainfall, and a climate that supports healthy plant growth without excessive disease pressure. Growing hemp in Kentucky isn't a new idea. It's a very old one that's come back to life.
