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.
Sheepscot General led a tour of its hemp fields, then hosted a presentation about CBD, Aug. 2. The presentation was given by Dr. Dustin Sulak, a medical cannabis expert and founder of Integr8 Health, which serves more than 8,000 medical cannabis patients in Maine.
