CERTIFICATIONS & LICENSES

Our farm was MAEAP verified in 2019. The Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program helps farms minimize and prevent agricultural pollution risks. They review possible risks such as fuel, pesticide, chemical storage and any wells on the land. We are proud of this certification as it speaks to the purity of our industrial hemp product and growing process.

To become verified, MAEAP sends a technician to the farm to assess current risks and discuss action steps for the farm to properly limit or remove runoff risks and reduce erosion. Once the changes are made, they reassess the farm to ensure compliance.

We are both a licensed industrial hemp grower and processor-handler in the state of Michigan. It’s important to do business with a licensed farm so that buyers can remain compliant with the law. The Michigan Department of Agricultural and Rural Development has two licenses for farmers who want to plant hemp.

• Hemp Growers license: allows farms to plant, propagate, grow, cultivate, or harvest live industrial hemp plants or viable hemp seeds.
• Hemp Processor-Handler: license allows farmers to possess, store, handle, broker, promote and sell industrial hemp.
