Seeds of Hope

These seeds are illegal for you to grow, it’s even illegal to sprout them! Hemp seeds can only be grown in the UK with an industrial licence for use as seed and fibre. Hemp is part of the Cannabis species, though with trace levels THC. Should hemp be more accessible rather than jumping through this strict legislative hoops, we ask?

When you buy from us, you’re directly supporting UK farmers who have cultivated this product. You become an integral part of the food sovereignty movement. Together, we can create a just and local food hemp source.

Our hemp plants are UK-grown on organic certified farmland without the use of any chemicals. Hemp is a bio-accumulator which means it draws elements from the soil, it’s incredibly important to only consume certified organic hemp produce to ensure its quality and health benefits.
