The journey of Chris and Bronwyn, founders of Vasse Valley Hemp Farm, who is a leader in Western Australia’s hemp wellness industry.

This video showcases their transition from agricultural backgrounds to becoming leading innovators in hemp farming and food products.

They explore their extensive range of hemp-based foods, including organic hemp seed oil and condiments. And Chris walks us through their commitment to sustainable agriculture, eco-friendly practices, and increasing biodiversity on the farm.
