Northern Rivers Hemp is thriving!

Northern Rivers Hemp Cooperative
By Crystal White

Spring has sprung in the Northern Rivers region although there has certainly been some cooler days lingering and even a few nights beside the fire! This month we have launched our Trial Trio gift set, finalised our market setup and started spreading the word at markets about how great hemp is! We’ve also made an exciting discovery of CBL Cannabicyclol and we are supporting and have donated to the AHC Paws For Wellness Campaign. This is vital for our whole Australian Hemp industry to get behind!

Launch of our Trial Trio box. This beautifully curated set includes an indulgent collection of three of our top selling rejuvenating
products. Each of the 10mL samples is perfect for friends and family who are perhaps new to Full Spectrum Hemp Oils, and seeking the benefits of 100% natural skincare and wellness products. If you are thinking of gifting, this is the perfect introduction to Full Spectrum Hemp!

Our 2024 Trial Trio includes:

FACE, a luxurious natural face cream that targets aging and damaged skin with its potent, rejuvenating formula

Markets
We are ready to roll into the markets scene with our marquee and advertising looking schmick! Although we don’t have a set market schedule, you’ll see us popping up from time to time at markets in Northern Rivers and into Southern Queensland.

Farmers Chris and Tommy setup and had a great time a the Sample food events festival at Bangalow which attracted huge crowds and was a great launch for our first market right in the heart of the Northern Rivers region. We have also just done a weekend collab with Hinterland Hemp.

Exciting new test results -CBL Cannabicyclol
We now have access to a new testing machine in Northern Rivers area that is able to test for many more Cannabinoids and terpenes. This means we can really narrow down what we are getting from our grows and cultivars by analysing the results. Surprisingly our results from last seasons grow on all 7 farms growing our King Gee Cultivar has shown a very interesting lesser known and scarce cannabinoid called CBL- CANNABICYCLOL. It is not new – it was first discovered by Raphael Mechoulam’s Israeli team of researchers in 1966.

It is exciting to see this in our results although CBL is one of the lesser studied minor cannabinoids scientists are studying it and believe it may have pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory properties.

Paws for wellness
Did you know hemp seed and hemp seed oil is legal for human consumption, but not for animals?!?! Crazy right! The Australian Hemp Council has launched the “Paws for Wellness” campaign to raise funds for the legalisation of hemp seed for pets and companion animals in Australia. Northern Rivers Hemp is in support of this campaign and we have donated to paws for wellness so that we as a industry can make steps towards getting hemp back on the table for our pets- after all they certainly do deserve the best! If you think your pet deserves the best and that you should have choice over what you pet can consume we strongly recommend making a donation to the Paws for Wellness Campaign.

Happy hemping!
