How would you like to make delicious and fresh organic hemp milk ?
Yes sure, you can buy hemp milk in aseptic cartons, and that’s great, but certainly not as fresh as making your own hemp milk in your kitchen.
Here is a fun YouTube video for making hemp milk using a juicer.

Hemp seed contains 33% protein and is rich in the good fats Omega-3 and GLA. Plus hemp is an excellent source of zinc, iron, and magnesium.
At Nutiva, we import our organic hemp seed from Canada as the US federal government does allow American farmers to grow hemp. Is it because hemp is too healthy and sustainable for the high and mighty sitting in washington DC ?
Or does hemp pose a threat to vested commercial interests ? Or are recent DEA official statements to be believed, that growing hemp sends the wrong message to the youth of America ?
Dear readers give us some comments on this. After lobbying and educating for 10+ years we have to think that logic and reason is not well thought of in the halls of power at the White House or Congress.

Enjoy!
I am a fourth generation farmer, grandfather of three, and have never been arrested for anything. I traveled to Washington, D.C. to join hemp business leaders in a symbolic planting of hemp seeds on DEA headquarters’ front lawn. This action was taken to raise awareness of the distinction between industrial hemp and marijuana. Today non-dairy milks, protein powders, cereals, soaps and lotions are made from the nutritious omega 3 rich hemp seed, while everything from clothing to building materials to automobile paneling is made from the fiber and woody core.
Along with another North Dakota farmer and state Rep. David Monson, I am involved in a lawsuit against DEA, now in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, to prevent DEA interference with licensed North Dakota farmers cultivating and processing industrial hemp under North Dakota’s state industrial hemp program. However, it has been almost a year since the case was given to the judges to decide if states can act without federal government intervention.
I personally do not harbor a grudge nor have an agenda against the DEA, I have the greatest respect for those who serve our country, whether local police or members of the armed services who are now abroad. The DEA is carrying out its Bush-era mandate to not allow cannabis in the United States, just as any soldier given an order by a superior officer and I respect that. It is time, however, to change the order and make the international non-drug standard of 0.3% THC the point at which hemp cultivars of cannabis are under control and regulation by USDA as an agricultural crop.
The ideal immediate policy approach, similar to the recent medical cannabis directive from the Dept. of Justice (that oversees the DEA) directing DEA and US Attorneys to respect states’ medical cannabis laws, is for the DOJ to simply direct DEA to respect and not interfere with state industrial hemp programs.
