Nature is alive, without corners.
Nature rarely has corners! Nature meanders, spirals, curves like a river, branches like the veins in a leaf, or in us.
Just as nature doesn’t cut corners, we don’t either. It all starts at the farm, Mt. Folly, where we grow organic hemp, organic corn, rye, sunflowers, wheat and soybeans, along with pasture-raised cattle, pigs and goats.
The CBD and full-spectrum cannabinoids are distilled from the plant with the cleanest process, CO2 extraction. Our chocolates and caramels are made in partnership with local chocolatier, in business for more than 100 years!
Mt. Folly is the place where in 1984, no-antibiotic, no-growth hormone beef was invented, now Laura’s Lean Beef. Here, we raise the grain for Regeneration Distillery, whose popular whiskey brand, Boone’s Settlement Rye Whiskey, is grown on land once owned by Daniel Boone. It’s farm to bottle whiskey, aged in our tobacco barns, and only sold in Kentucky (sorry out of towners).
Our grain and hemp are USDA-certified organic. First, this means we use no pesticides, herbicides, or commercial fertilizer, which is either mined, or produced using mostly Russian natural gas. As a regenerative organic farm, we grow our fertility first, with nitrogen-fixing cover crops such as vetch, Austrian winter peas, and crimson clover.
Our soils are made even more healthy by integrating livestock with our crop ground, spreading compost, and most recently biochar, the terra preta (black earth) first discovered in the Amazon basin.
Indeed, in an American Farmland Trust study, Mt. Folly was found to have the most soil life compared to other farms in the national study.
