The new mill at Factory Lane has opened with accreditation from the Soil Association and ISO9001. At the mill three employees, which founder Steven Glover hopes to double by the summer, press and process hemp seeds grown on 12 farmers across the country. The oil is pressed from the seeds and the byproducts are used to create protein powder and hemp flour and sold on. Mr Glover told the Wiltshire Times: We re extremely proud to have opened the mill in Warminster, proud to be part of the community and to create jobs. And very proud to produce nutrient dense food products for people to enjoy.
On this weekâs podcast, we talk to Destiny Young and Will Tarleton, two of the founders of Canvast Supply Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, where they are helping new and existing farmers transition to growing hemp.
âWe call ourselves a hemp resource,â says Young, âFrom seed to sale, weâre trying to create pathways that make it easier for farmers to do what they do best, which is to farm.â
The company recently published a 72-page Canvast Supply Co. Holistic Farm Planning Workbook and Interactive Budget, specifically designed to help hemp farmers plan and execute the planting, growing, harvesting and processing hemp for cannabinoid production.
