Sheepscot General Farm, of Whitefield, will test a new crop this year — and a new way of selling the crop — when it opens a pick-your-own hemp field in September.

Ben Marcus and Taryn Hammer Marcus, owners of Sheepscot General Farm LLC and Sheepscot General LLC, hope the crop — and demand for the active ingredient of cannabidiol, or CBD — will supplement their already popular pick-your-own organic strawberries.
