Craft Industrial Hemp: The Promise of Profitability

The Beginning of the Craft Hemp Market: Press Release

Colorado Farmers Unite to Create the Nation’s First Craft Nutraceutical Hemp Market
 
Several Colorado Industrial hemp farmers who are growing hemp for CBD have come together to focus on development of high CBD, feminized hemp seed, propagation and cultivation techniques to supply hemp biomass and hemp oils to leading nutraceutical product manufacturers. Chimney Rock Farms CEO and Founder Rich Becks recruited farmers from throughout the United States to who share passion for breeding legal CBD seeds that are stable and capable of meeting USDA regulations compliant with THC levels at less than 0.3%.
 
“The market fixation on CBD isolates, while an attempt side step THC concerns is actually undervaluing the full potential offered by registered craft hemp growers. The potential “Entourage Effect” from over one hundred cannabinoids and terpenes contained within the hemp plant are being overlooked in the rush to make hemp an industrial commodity.” stated Mr. Becks.
 
Other industries once dominated by older commodity oriented manufacturers whose focus was price now include the beer and wine industries who have both experienced major market shifts towards premium craft products:

• Craft Beer Brewers year over year revenue continues to grow by double digits’ now representing over 21% of the total market
• Small to midsize breweries and brewpubs account for over 99% of the breweries in operation employing over 122,000 people.
• “Premiumization” continues for wine and other alcoholic beverages as reflected in Millennial and Baby Boom preference to pay more for small production runs of wine possessing unique or regional differences.
