ALBANY â Pretoria Fields Collective, a farmhouse brewery and CBD therapeutic manufacturer, announced Monday the completion of the collectiveâs hemp crop harvest in Georgia, which coincides with the companyâs third anniversary. The celebration marks the first time hemp has been commercially harvested in Georgia in the modern era.
âHemp has had a monumental influence historically in America, dating back to one of the earliest commercial crops in the new world,â Albert Etheridge, co-founder and COO of Pretoria Fields Collective, said. âOnce a staple for making paper and fabric, the crop has found new life in relieving pain and a key component to personal care products.â
