New Story Hemp Renewal | original artwork

The mad-rush to grow a high-producing CBD strain for mental wellness was all that people were talking about back in 2014. Enthusiastic hemp gatherings were popping-up along the Colorado Front Range, with farmers, investors, and entrepreneurs all vying for the 'hemp golden ticket' of abundance.

Using hemp seed to grow micro-greens, landscape mulch, animal feed + bedding, or even cover crops, would have to wait for a few years until domestic seed banks filled, and seed costs lowered becoming available for commercial sale.

My partner and I grew our own hemp seed bank during that inaugural 2014 year, registered with Colorado's Department of Agriculture. After six long years working in commercial landscaping, I was finally able to take-up hemp growing again in 2021. Fortunately those 6 year old hemp seeds were still viable!

Experimenting with hemp across many disciplines and industries is how renewal expands and apocalypse recedes. Hemp is just one plant medicine balm to heal our hot-mess, anti-nature techno-centralization dystopia.

'New Story Hemp Renewal' is original artwork by Karina Zedalis (c) 2024, inspired by an image she took while hemp farming in Boulder, Colorado.
