Farming Hemp In Australia

 

At Hemp Foods Australia we believe Australia can be a major global competitor in the hemp industry worldwide and is committed to increasing and supporting hemp farming in Australia. 

As an Australian Certified Organic (ACO) company, we're committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. We aim to always source local first, however at this stage, local supply of Certified Organic Hemp is not able to keep up with the current demand (everyone wants to try nutritious, organic Australian hemp). However, we know many people still prefer Australian grown hemp, so this is why we have both Organic and Australian grown Hemp Seeds to choose from. We thank all our customers for their support and understanding as we work towards growing a local organic hemp farming industry in Australia.

We paid a visit to Tasmania, where a large proportion of Australian hemp farms are located. While there, we met with a local farmer, a harvester, an agronomist and representatives of the Tasmanian Hemp Association. Join us on journey and meet the people behind our amazing Australian hemp seeds.
