Features
We are leaders, pioneering innovation in hemp production. Our New Zealand grown hemp seeds are transported from the field to be crushed at our purpose-built facilities, producing excellent quality oil. However, bulk hemp seeds for hulling are sent to purpose-built facilities where the tough outer coat of the hemp seed is removed and discarded, producing the soft hemp heart in the middle.
Our quest for quality and a competitive edge is ongoing to ensure that our products meet the highest international standards. With quality assurance programmes that maintain control at every point along the production process, we deliver a superior bottle of hemp.
Our plant-based production focus ensures we give back to the environment. Carefully planning crop rotations to improve soil health and biodiversity. Our hemp seed is produced in a responsible and environmentally way.

New Zealand, and in particular the Canterbury Plains, has pristine air quality, consistent water supply, and exceptional soil types which allow us to maximise nutritional components and produce superior bulk hemp seeds.
