As a crop, hemp offers incredible benefits to farmers and the environment. The taproot of this plant reaches very far down into the earth, pulling up valuable nutrients from deep in the soil and bringing them up for the next succession crop to benefit from. The plant can actually cleanse contaminated soil, while the leaves produce more oxygen and sequester more carbon dioxide than any other crop.

According to Canada.ca hemp has proven to “ be a hardy, fast growing, resilient and high yield crop ”. In fact, 1 acre ...

-- Product Review -- Knowing the renowned properties of hemp oil, which is rich in a balanced ratio of EFA fats, many different vitamins and protein, and being good for sensitive dry skin, I was excited to try the Wholly Hemp 4 oz (118.3 ml) soap bars.
