Often\u00a0referred to as The Big Island, the Island of Hawaii is renowned for its spectacular natural wonders and biodiversity. Active volcanoes\u00a0have sculpted the dramatic\u00a0terrain\u00a0and created rich, fertile soil that\u2019s perfect for growing hemp. On its organically certified farm, the team at Hawaii Royal Hemp handcraft full-spectrum CBD products from their own\u00a0premium hemp. But that\u2019s not all: They are also on a mission to create a bright future for Hawaii\u2019s burgeoning hemp industry.<\/p>\n
Hawaii Royal Hemp<\/a> was founded by the husband-and-wife team of\u00a0Clarence (Cab) Baber\u00a0and Gail Byrne Baber. Pioneers in agriculture, the duo uses sustainable and regenerative practices, and they\u2019ve been farming both hemp and food in Hawaii for over 40 years, working to preserve the island\u2019s precious ecosystem.<\/p>\n \u201cOur foundation is our healthy living soil and regenerative farming practices that restore and rebuild the environment, creating pollinator habitat, conserving water and sequestering carbon,\u201d\u00a0Gail explains.\u00a0\u201cWe strive to do good, and our motivations for growing hemp and making CBD are to raise the consciousness on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n Uniquely, Hawaii Royal Hemp is the only farm\u00a0in Hawaii that crops hemp and food together. They do this for two important reasons. First, it creates diverse structures for microorganisms. A diverse, healthy soil microbiome is the key to healthy hemp plants and deeply nutritious food.\u00a0\u00a0Secondly, over the course of his cultivation journey, Cab has learned which herbs, flowers and food crops complement hemp and enhance terpene profiles.<\/p>\n Thanks to an unbeatable combination of a passion for the plant and incredible growing experience, Hawaii Royal Hemp produces some of the highest quality CBD products on the market. The climate of the Aloha state allows for year-round growing, meaning three or four hemp harvests per annum. Subsequently, all Hawaii Royal Hemp products are made from only the freshest hemp flower.<\/p>\n \u201cThe unique\u00a0terroir of many of Hawaii\u2019s regions has been well known in the cannabis world for decades,\u201d Gail said. \u201cHemp plants have their feet in the rich volcanic soils and exposure to some of the purest rainfall and cleanest air on the planet. Our CBD products embody the frequency of Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n All Hawaii Royal Hemp products are handcrafted on their certified organic family farm in North Kohala, so you can be certain that these premium products benefit both you and the planet. Additionally, they are all backed by third-party lab analysis.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s product offering includes an organic full-spectrum 500 mg\u00a0CBD oil\u00a0<\/u><\/a>that contains no added artificial colors, sweeteners or flavorings; a\u00a0salve<\/u><\/a>\u00a0that contains 550 mg of full-spectrum CBD, organic coconut oil and local beeswax; and a CBD honey that contains 250 mg of full-spectrum CBD oil.<\/p>\n Cab and Gail are active hemp advocates and are on a mission to improve the lives of hemp farmers and future generations in Hawaii. For decades, they have worked to pass legislation that would allow hemp to be grown as a crop for fiber and food.<\/p>\n A former big wave surfer, Cab has been a champion of the plant since the 1970s. He launched the Hawaii Herb Association in the early 1980s and soon found an ally in Jack Herer<\/a>. On a phone call, the two men discovered their mutual belief that hemp would soon be legalized.\u00a0Cab\u00a0would go on to distribute Herer\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Emperor Wears No Clothes\u201d book throughout Hawaii.\u00a0<\/p>\n In 1990, Cab co-founded the Hawaii Organic Farmers Association<\/a> to help Hawaii transition to organic farming practices. Two years later, he co-founded the Hawaii Hemp Council to advocate for a sustainable crop to replace sugar cane with the last two plantations closing on the island. As a testament to his pioneering work, Cab was the only farmer invited to the University of Hawaii\u2019s hemp research project in 2015.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Between 2013 and 2016, Cab worked closely with local farmers and industry representatives to legalize hemp products and establish Hawaii\u2019s hemp pilot program. In 2018, Cab was granted the First Hawaii State and USDA hemp licenses in the state in 2020.\u00a0Gail\u00a0worked with farmers and local industry representatives to legalize hemp products during the 2019-2022 Hawaii Legislative sessions.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe jumped at the opportunity to secure Hawaii\u2019s first license to grow hemp when the Hawaii hemp pilot program finally opened up,\u201d Gail said.<\/p>\n As you might expect, Cab\u2019s expertise is in hot demand. He regularly consults with farmers on how to optimize their hemp operations and transition to organic and regenerative farming. Gail currently serves on the Statewide Board of Directors for the Hawaii Hemp Farmers Association and the Hawaii Farmers Union United Foundation.<\/p>\n Hawaii\u2019s hemp market is\u00a0valued<\/a>\u00a0at up to $54 million and currently, the majority of that number comes from CBD that\u2019s imported into the Aloha state. The Hawaii Royal Hemp founders believe that an established local CBD market would help to keep that money circulating in the local economy and help create more jobs. To that end, they have advocated for a Kona Coffee model to be adopted by hemp and CBD farms in Hawaii.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cFor decades, small family farms in Kona have been growing some of the highest quality coffees in the world, consistently securing top dollar for our local farms with their small batch artesian coffee,\u201d Gail explained. \u201cThe growing environments in Kona are part of what makes coffee so unique and loved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Cab and Gail believe that following this Kona model\u2014with an emphasis on the\u00a0unique terroir, high-quality, hand-crafted products\u2014will allow bigger margins for local hemp\u00a0farmers. Adding regenerative and organic farming to that model will add to Hawaii\u2019s CBD products being in high demand in the global market.<\/p>\n \u201cBy owning or accessing at-cost processing infrastructure, Hawaiian farmers participate fully in the value chain,\u201d Gail said. \u201cThis will optimize farmer margins, which will help to offset the cost of food production, moving Hawaii towards greater financial stability for Hawaii\u2019s farming families and greater opportunities for young farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n Interested in seeing the difference in Hawaii Royal Hemp premium products for yourself?
