Building a hemp business
For help in implementing best practices around every area of your business, our partner, Long Run is there. Any activity involved in growing hemp is in our wheelhouse. We work to help farmers integrate modern business strategies and practices for greater success.
Focusing on the little things that make a big impact, we look at benchmarks related to cost, performance, and scheduling.
Selecting the right seeds and genetics
When it’s time to think about the plants, the first step for hemp farmers is to pick the right starter. Arbor Vita8 offers land and soil testing to ensure proper genetic selection for your land. We then extend wholesale pricing for seeds, seedlings, and clones that can save you big.
We only work with the highest quality genetics, and focus on what strains are in demand. This allows us to help you create superior plant crops.
Cultivating the perfect plant
Even before you plant the seeds, Arbor Vita8 makes sure you have the right resources to successfully cultivate your crop. We offer plenty of support in preparing your field.
While as the farmer, you’re responsible for growing your plants, we’re here to advise you on spacing, bedding, plastic application and more. We can even help you secure the best organic nutrients and set up an optimal pest control strategy.
Harvesting time
When the plants are ready, we’ve got the big equipment to complete harvesting, and you don’t even have to transport the hemp.
Arbor Vita8 Dry provides access to remote drying that makes the process quick and ensures your harvested hemp doesn’t sit wet for too long.
Once the hemp is ready for processing, it’s off to our high-end facility in Phenix City, Alabama where it’s handled with care.
Extracting
With a state-of-the-art, high-capacity extractor, Arbor Vita8 can pull the lucrative oils from your biomass at a rate of 5,000 pounds per day. We can create crude oil if that’s currently of interest to manufacturers as well. When demand requires we take the process one step farther and end up with distillate or t-free distillate, Arbor Vita8 is on it.
Demand, and feedback from Long Run on the market, influences what we extract to give you the best return on their crop.
Selling
Our dedicated sales team helps conclude the process of being a hemp farmer by helping get it sold. We work with our network of manufacturers to complete the sale. Product sells at market price to then go on to make hemp-derived products throughout the country.
Dedicating all our resources to your experience
The unique relationships we are able to build with our hemp partners is only possible because of the team we’ve established to help you succeed.
Combining our expertise, facilities, connections, and equipment with that of our mobile hemp drying division and the amazing Long Run team gives you an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
