Homemade Hemp
Hemp for climate
This is our new project and we're excited to get started! We have set up a plan to grow about one acre of hemp on farmland previously used as part of the beef industry. We want this to be a way of showing alternative usage of this land which is more sustainable, more environmentally friendly and with a more valuable, diverse outcome. This website will be used as a place to find information on our project and hemp in general. In the future we may add additional pages to this website, this is just the beginning <3

Our Story
As three environmentally-conscious locals from Golden Bay, we know climate change is going to be a major factor in determining our future. After attending the climate change conference held in Wellington earlier this year, we came away inspired and with a sense of urgency that New Zealand needs to be changing its ways now. Each of us have had our own motivations and experience ideal for working together in this project. Areta Milne, grew up on the farmland of which will now become the home of our hemp with the help of her parents Alec and Marian Milne. Maya Lewis has worked for her parents in their personal plant nursery and Poppy Ellis, the daughter of a local Hemp Farmer-Expert Andrew Earle.

How can you help?
As a non profitable youth lead organisation every little bit helps.
At the moment we have everything set up except for a big red tape of the expenses. Hemp's association to the controversial subject of cannabis causes there to be financial barriers, costs for the license is $650, and later testing could have us looking at an additional cost of approximately $800.
