Farmer’s Daughter Hemp

In Hickory, Kentucky live Johnna, Beth, Emily, and Amber. 

These ladies are two mother-daughter teams that have partnered to make Farmer’s Daughter Hemp possible.

The farm grows only one product - hemp - but they use it to create all sorts of CBD products. Oils, creams, and chews are made with the plants grown, and the products can be used on both people and pets. 

Farmer’s Daughter products are sold to pharmacy clients all over the U.S., but only after being tested by third-party teams for safety and quality. 

Although they sell to many places, a lot of what the farm does supports the Kentucky economy directly because everything from Farmer’s Daughter is grown, processed, and bottled right here. 

Hemp is one of the newer products in the agriculture world, but FDH is certified Kentucky Proud, and one of their main goals is to help educate customers about the farming and manufacturing process.

Pirtle Hog Operation Enables Next Generation to Remain on the Farm

Farmers have utilized their offspring to carry out the work of their operations for generations. The large families of the past may have even come about, in part, because of the need for more help on the farm. But as times have changed, equipment and processes have gotten more efficient and streamlined, so more acres of row crops can be tended with fewer people.
