INDUSTRIAL HEMP GROWING PROCESS

In French, ‘Terrior’ is used to describe a region’s soil, climate and terrain. Our farm falls on the famous 45th parallel in Michigan, which is well known (across the pond) for producing complex wines in France & Italy. Who knew Industrial Hemp would grow well here too?

The Northern Michigan region brings together the best possible conditions for growing Industrial Hemp. It’s proximity to Lake Michigan as well as two substantial bays, combined with its gentle rolling hills and long sunny summer days, gives rise to micro-climates that help protect and nurture our plants. Additionally, our sandy loamy soil is naturally rich in nutrients and provides adequate drainage. All aspects of our ‘Terrior’ also gives our Hemp a special combination of cannabinoids and flavorful terpenes.

Lakeland Hemp is organically grown. No Herbicides. No Pesticides. No Fungicides. No Synthetic Fertilizers.

When farming, you can have the heartiest plants, but with poor soil, a crop will fail. Three years ago, we planted, turned over, and worked cover crops back into the soil to improve humus and nutrient density on the six acre area where we now grow Lakeland Hemp.

Using a machine created by Dennis & Eric, each plant is placed by hand in the ground during the first week of June.To avoid the need to use herbicides, our industrial Hemp is planted through a mulch, we hand pull weeds, and an irrigation system controls moisture surrounding the roots.

Nutrient monitoring is also an important component in growing CBD rich hemp. We perform both pre-season and mid-season soil tests to guide decisions about nutrient applications to use. Our hemp receives only the best organic nutrients sourced from RX Green Technologies.
