Resources for Vermont's hemp community

Vermont was among the first states in the nation whose lawmakers made hemp production legal. Before the 2014 Farm Bill, and for only a $25 registration fee, anyone could participate. Hemp Vermont was underway. 

Hemp is poised for meteoric growth in the Green Mountain State this year. May this humble (and growing) offering of resources contribute to your success. Please contact me with additional information you would like to see.
