Our hemp is grown on fields under the sun, not in greenhouses, with no harmful herbicides or pesticides. Lovingly raised, tested for compliance and sold straight from the farm.
Background
Merry Hill is a certified Century Farm in Mebane, North Carolina, right in the heart of the Piedmont region. Merry Hill has always been a small family farm, never a plantation. On the same fields and pastures that were chartered to the family in 1754, we are happy to grow hemp for the first time since it was banned almost 100 years ago. Merry Hill is a member of the North Carolina Agritourism Association, the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, and the North Carolina Hemp Growers Association.
The 2018 Farm Bill that legalised hemp in all 50 states opened exciting potential for the crop. We are a licensed industrial hemp grower and registered processor with the North Carolina Hemp Commission. This year we are growing and selling five different strains of cannabinoid rich hemp, without herbicides or pesticides, and using natural fertilizers. Our buds are available fresh, cured, and even as part of pick your own harvest parties and events when in season.
Our 2020 hemp crop
We are in for even more fun this season! We've got four ALL NEW varieties on the way, plus back by popular demand we'll have BaOx in our fields again.
We will also have even more opportunities to volunteer, educational workshops, and of course, our pick your own hemp days. Sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Our varieties this year will offer a range of different cannabinoid and terpene profiles. We have chosen carefully to select varieties we know will offer the most choice to our customers. Look forward to finding these in our field:
The Wife: An exciting, relatively new strain to NC, this variety is a high CBD producer. Its strong caryophyllene terpenes give it a warming, peppery aroma and taste that makes it a stronger rather than milder smoke. This variety's genetics aren't very established yet, but it's making a name for itself as a great choice for pain relief without any 'head high' or fogginess. The Wife keeps you sharp...
Berry Blossom: Varieties with Cherry lineage have earned their stripes by now in North Carolina, growing well in most soils and regularly staying beneath the THC limit. We've grown a Cherry lineage variety every year, and while they are a little trickier to harvest, due to their denser buds, their gentle flavor and sweet berry profile make them a great choice for customers looking for something 'just right'. Berry Blossom is a more mild and relaxing variety, a good fit for day to day anxiety without causing sleepiness or too much of a body high.
Stormy Daniels: We'll keep her away from The Wife! This variety has T1 lineage, meaning it'll share a strong terpene profile with a great lemony aroma thanks to all the limonene it's packed with. Limonene is often connected with anti-inflammatory uses and is a good choice for smoking or for making topicals. Like T1, this variety's structure is pretty sturdy, meaning it will hold onto its trichomes and be a reliable high quality smoke after curing.
Citrus: Another Cherry lineage variety, Citrus has a light, balanced profile, and will produce lots of leaves with mild, fresh flavor making it great for juicing. Once cured, Citrus is also a popular strain for smokable flower due its reliable high CBD and low THC performance, for anyone looking for a gentle recreational smoke. A perfect choice if you'd like to do some fresh juicing, cure the rest at home and then roll 'em up.
BaOx: You asked, we brought it back - our popular BaOx strain is a tried and true all rounder. With a lovely fresh grass, clean pine aroma, on the lighter side, you can mix it into your cooking with minimal lingering taste or smell, or enjoy it as a high CBD smoke without any harsh burn or cough. As it has good resistance to mold, last year it was one of our most popular and easiest to DIY cure at home.
Support NC farms and agriculture
Did you know many 'North Carolina' hemp and CBD stores make their products in NC, but don't use hemp grown in North Carolina? Buying from us helps support NC's small farms. We buy our hemp clones (baby plants) from NC nurseries, and plant, grow, and cure our crop on our farmland. We also have open events to the public to meet our community and help people learn about hemp. Plus, you can buy straight off the farm in season, and even pick your hemp yourself!
