Thousands of green plants covered in narrow, saw-toothed leaves grow in long rows along 6 acres on a rural Ohio farm. Row after row, the hemp plants stretch upward, each about four feet tall on this Centerville land.
Just a year ago, the farm would have been illegal, but today it’s a critical element of Kelly Hondros and Corey Poches, co-founders of Motive CBD, a locally grown and processed CBD product line.
They launched the Motive CBD brand, first outsourcing hemp before it was legal to grow in Ohio. A law passed in 2019 made growing hemp in Ohio legal.
The Hondros family behind the Westerville-based business and nursing colleges long has been in the farming business. Hondros’ Greek ancestors harvested grapes for wine, and more recent generations have grown two Midwestern juggernaut crops, corn and soybeans.
