Meet Our CBD Farmers

John H
John H moved to Scotch Valley Ranch over two decades ago from Tribeca in New York City in search for a healthier life away from the hubbub of the city. A farmer/entrepreneur, he started a hay and an architectural furniture business which now employs 20 local residents. After obtaining a New York State license to grow hemp in 2019, John bought the best hemp seeds for CBD and hired an expert grower from Colorado.
