We started as a medicinal hemp company, and are transitioning into a whole-health company thanks to the support of our community. Initially we did not fully understand or appreciate the range of potential benefits of medicinal hemp because research had for so long been stifled, and indeed the market for hemp and hemp-derived products remains quite volatile as new cannabinoids are isolated or synthesized and CBD finds its way into the mainstream. We remain dedicated to the promise that hemp provides for the future of humanity and the earth, and we especially look forward to more American-grown hemp textiles as hemp fiber regains its place in American agriculture. As a grassroots organization at its core, we are also glad to look forward to sharing more of our healthful interests, fermentation and sprouts, with our communities in North Carolina.
