Hemp Seed Oil
Humans and Hemp Seed have a long-standing relationship spanning thousands of years; it was one of the first cultivated crops known for its healing powers. Waihi Bush Organic Farm’s partner, Hemp Oil Canada, sources seed from only the best world-class, certified organic, Canadian prairie growers who grow the best cultivar to produce a superior and consistent oil.
After harvest the Hemp Seed Oilis extracted without the use of chemicals, preservatives or additives and cold pressed. Once pressed it is clarified using cold filtering technology to remove any natural suspended solids. It is then supplied in an oxygen-free environment before being bottled using Waihi Bush Organic Farm’s own process to ensure a superior fresh product reaches you in perfect condition.
