Kentucky was the greatest producer of U.S. hemp in the 19th and 20th centuries, with thousands of acres of hemp in production. Today, hemp is finally seeing a resurgence in Kentucky, thanks to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Hemp Program.

Here at Mt. Folly, we're confident hemp will revitalize the economy and give farmers a new cash crop. Show support for Kentucky hemp by wearing Homestead Alternatives' 'Kentucky Grown Hemp' t-shirts.

WHAT THE SHIRTS MEAN

We noticed the CBD chemical structure has a similar shape to the state of Kentucky, so we got a little creative! We reversed the CBD chemical structure and placed it inside the outline of Kentucky. Underneath, the design reads "Kentucky Grown Hemp" and the Homestead Alternatives logo is printed on the back.

Save 20% on the Kentucky Derby Bundle! No code needed.

Off to the races! The 145th Kentucky Derby is upon us and we're celebrating with a Derby Bundle full of unique Kentucky Proud products, including Homestead Alternatives CBD, Laura's Hemp Chocolates, and an option to add your choice of Kentucky bourbon balls -- Woodford Reserve, Maker's Mark, or Ruth Hunt.

Homestead Alternatives CBD products are made with organic hemp grown here in Kentucky on Mt. Folly Farm, and our decadent hemp chocolates are made from hemp seed (no THC or CBD).

Bourbon balls are a gourmet chocolate deeply rooted in the history of bourbon in Kentucky, and closely tied to the Kentucky Derby, as Woodford Reserve remains the Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby.

The fine taste of bourbon and chocolate in one bite! Maker's Mark bourbon balls are made in Kentucky with a bourbon-infused confection center, covered in dark chocolate and topped with a pecan half.

These chocolates make an elegant gift for family, friends and business associates.

When you visit Kentucky (or if you are a native), bourbon ball candies are one treat to remember. Bourbon chocolates, decadent whisky confections that made their appearance in the early 1900's, are unique to Kentucky and are as much a part of Bluegrass tradition as the venerable Mint Julep.

These bourbon balls are handmade at Ruth Hunt Candy Company in Mt. Sterling, where Laura's Hemp Chocolates are also made. Larry K., the owner of the company, uses Woodford Reserve® Straight Bourbon Whiskey, cooked down in copper kettles, to create these tasty confections you'll never forget.

Note: the bourbon balls do not contain hemp.

Jar or Jug, we are proud to feature Townsend’s sorghum, made at a sorghum mill in Jeffersonville, about 10 miles from Laura’s Mercantile at Mt. Folly “as the crow flies.”  Sorghum is the original mountain sweetener, high in potassium, iron, phosphorous and other minerals.

Danny Townsend, our neighbor, is the fifth generation of Townsends to make sorghum. And it is the best there is, having been crowned National Champion by the members of the National Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors Association.

Sorghum goes with our heritage cornbread, like a pocket on a shirt.

Next year, we want to make sorghum rum at WildCat Willy’s Distillery. But for now, try this with cornbread.

Concerned about over-fishing, but want to make sure you get your Omega-3s?  Try hemp seed oil instead. Hemp seed oil makes a fantastic salad dressing, and it serves as a useful, healthy alternative to cook with as well!

The oil is cold-pressed from Kentucky-grown hemp seeds, some of which might have come from Mt. Folly Farm, where they are part of an organic crop rotation.

ABOUT VICTORY HEMP FOODS

All hemp for Victory Hemp Foods is derived from the grain variety of hemp and is grown in the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Hemp Program. These products contain no THC or CBD.

Hemp seed, grown locally, is good for folks, good for farmers, and good for the environment. The nutritional case is clear: hemp seeds are a “superfood,” containing Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids. They are high in protein, and thus, a plant-based amino acid option.

But most of the hemp seed sold in the United States has been imported from Canada, Europe and China…until now.

Chad Rosen, the fearless leader of Victory Hemp, led the way, installing commercial de-hulling equipment in the Bluegrass State, so farmers could process their hemp seed. Mt. Folly takes its seed there, and brings home the de-hulled seed for Laura's Hemp Chocolates.

We give you the option of purchasing Chad’s Kentucky-grown hemp seed by itself. Sprinkle the seeds on salads or on cereal, for more protein. Or eat them by themselves, enjoying their subtle nutty flavor.

Hemp protein also delivers edestin, a protein found only in hemp that also happens to be one of the most digestible plant proteins in the world! Add it to smoothies, baked goods, or any recipe that could use a healthy protein boost.

HOW TO USE
