Have you thought about entering the Hemp industry? There is a lot to take into consideration. In this basic introductory class, we will help you understand what is hemp, current uses in the market, factors to consider for growing hemp, the current state of the Australian hemp industry, plus more valuable information. Come and ask questions and see if being part of the hemp industry is really for you.

We are in our third year of growing hemp on a small scale (3ha) and have been researching hemp and hemp products for over 8 years. We have associations with key personnel in the Australian and New Zealand Hemp Industry and our company Hemp Collective has a range of hemp body care products for sale with over 70 stockists throughout Australia, with a view to expanding export overseas.

Some of the information we can cover:

  • Who we are and how we started a hemp business.
  • What is hemp?
  • Brief History about hemp
  • Potential benefits?
  • Current uses of hemp
  • Basics for growing hemp for Small to Medium scale farming
  • Licence compliance – DPI vs state
  • Some of the costs associated with small to medium scale farming?
  • Hemp Plant and what can it provide? I.e. Hemp seed oil, CBD etc

We would like this course to be tailored as much as we can to you and your interests. Once you have registered and paid we will send you a questionnaire to gauge your main interest for the hemp course.

Course testimonials:

  • Amazing, I didn't think we'd actually get talked through building a hemp business from the ground up.
  • Mike was a very informative tutor and kept the pace and attention of the class very well. He covered the subjects within the course completely, added a great sense of humor and also consistently took questions to ensure everything was clarified and understood. I would recommend this course to others when they decide to hold it again. Both Maxine and Mike offered to take further questions outside of the class and genuinely help the students pursue their goals for starting in the industry. Overall it was a great and informative experience :)
