“The objective of this annual festival is to educate, collaborate and connect all communities together with the power of knowledge and purpose. Industrial hemp is transforming the farming and processing supply line to the Lifestyle and Wellness industry.” Jessie Johnson, Chief Peacemaker.
The festival is focused on supporting local businesses and organizations that are working to improve sustainability through family farming. The mission of the PA Hemp Festival sponsor is to educate the public about the landscape of industrial hemp and why hemp is utilized as an alternative crop to nearly 800+ PA farmers. The festival will also raise awareness of the financial climate, markets and environmental benefits of industrial hemp for individuals and businesses.
The Hemp Agriculture Festival is dedicated to teaching the next generation about zero-waste, sustainable green energy and mentoring others to become influential leaders in renewable agriculture.
