We pledge we will fight even harder in 2025 to ensure that affordable CBD and wellness products remain available for purchase outside of the Medical Dispensary program.

the Redfern Team is looking forward to seeing you in 2025!

Whitney Morgan | Market Manager

Although I’m known for working in the Redfern Market, my favorite memory was cleaning out the greenhouse on a snowy day Jan 15, 2024. Seeing the farm with snow made it even more magical.

Corey Reed | Social Media Manager

The highlight of my year was getting the first apparel order done. Starting from scratch, making adjustments and laying a strong foundation to build on. Getting the clothes on the website, and the new clothing racks for in the market.

Jim Peacemaker | Hemp Advocate

Peacemaker and Hurricane Helene Food Drive

It felt good using my 50th Anniversary celebration as a call-to-action for donations to assist the Hurricane Helene victims. A big thank you to all of my friends who came and took part in this worthy initiative.

Courtney Kusterer | Sales & Event Manager

Although working together can be tough, nothing, though, compares to the enjoying our quiet moments together (with the cows and dogs) alone on the farm .

Pierce Redfern | Sales Representative

Having the whole family out at the Redfern Farm on a beautiful day and getting a family photo with the cows. These are memories that will last a lifetime!

Rob Ujevic | Sales Representative

The top moment at Redfern Hemp Co for 2024 was really a culmination of late nights at the Kitchen doing what we love, making the best products for our customers to enjoy and preparing for an even bigger 2025.

Jhonnatan Medina Alvarez | Pickleball Pro

In addition to all the tournament wins in 2024, becoming a part of the Redfern Team and meeting all the Stakeholders whom their products help, such as my new friend here Tamara who relies on Redfern’s products for a high quality of life.

Tiffany | Administrative Assistant

Working all those late hours in the office trenches supporting Graham with his payroll, taxes and basically anything to help him keep his sanity.. It’s not always pretty, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Tamara Herndon | Hemp Advocate

I absolutely loved when Graham gave me a tour of the Redfern Farm in his golf cart. The highlight of the tour, though, was when I came face to face with Graham’s behemoth Longhorn, T-Bone.

Emilee Walker | Graham’s Moral Support

Although we never shot the Doves Graham promised me, we still had an awesome time hiding out in his hemp field watching the birds devour the hemp seeds as if there was no tomorrow!

Graham Redfern | Owner & Operator

2024 seem like a complete, yet eventful, blurr! Through all the ups and downs the Redfern Team has become stronger than ever. But there’s nothing that makes me more proud than when we all came together to help those in need in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. A huge thanks to all our partners, friends and customers whom came through in a big way. These contributions were given to Barnardsville Church and God and will directly benefit those most severely impacted.

I’m from Caroline County, Virginia and I am married to my husband Ryan. I’ve worked with Redfern Hemp Co. a little over two years. Before that I was a nanny and I worked as a pediatric dental assistant.

I handle online sales and a few outside wholesale accounts. Working with Redfern is a dream job I never thought I’d have.

We are a true family. We work like one, and argue like one. As a team we are flexible and have a real love for the plant and what it can do. There is no limit for the plant so there is no limit for us.

For example, my mom suffered from hair loss after Covid. She started to add Redfrn’s Whole Plant Tincture into her shampoo and conditioner and it helped her hair regrow. The plant is magic!

GRAHAM REDFERN

Owner & Hemp Farmer

Before I became an American hemp farmer and entrepreneur, I first heard of the hemp industry during a period when my construction business thrived, but the housing crash of 2009 changed everything. While visiting Asheville, North Carolina, I encountered a groundbreaking green building – a house made 90% from hemp, from the flooring to the walls, excluding only electrical components and appliances.

Intrigued, I consulted with Andrea Herman, president of the Hemp Industries of America, spending an hour and $150 to understand the challenges of building such houses in the U.S.. When Andrea explained the steep costs preventing widespread use of U.S.-grown hemp, it ignited a passion in me. I questioned, “Why not?” This moment became a catalyst for my deep dive into the hemp industry.

Passage of the Farm Bills

In 2014, the passing of the Farm Bill allowed universities to grow hemp, prompting me to shift from the car industry. Initially unsure of my path, I invested in penny hemp stocks and connected with the Virginia Industrial Hemp Coalition, working with universities such as JMU, UVA, VSU, and Virginia Tech to explore potential markets.

For four years, restricted by regulations to work with universities, I delved into the banking industry. When the 2019 Farm Bill dismantled barriers, allowing American farmers to cultivate cannabis plants with less than 0.3% THC, my dream took a leap. Redfern Hemp Co. was born, marking the legal sale of hemp products in Virginia for the first time in over seventy years. With my girlfriend Courtney, we hustled – attending state fairs, cultivating hemp on our 42-acre Caroline County farm, and navigating the burgeoning industry. Fast-forward to 2023, and despite being one of the few companies remaining, we face challenges.

Unfortunately, Virginia lawmakers have strained our efforts, declaring federally legal cannabinoid-derived hemp products illegal unless sold by a select few medical marijuana operators.

In the face of Virginia’s attempt to monopolize medical marijuana, we persist in expanding cannabis job opportunities for all Virginians.

We champion Virginians’ rights to affordable, high-quality products, battling against restrictive legislation. It’s disheartening to see the government hindering the benefits of this plant, including job creation and increased taxation.

Restoring Virginia’s Hemp Farming Legacy

There was a time when Virginian hemp farmers paid taxes with hemp. Reintroducing low-dosage, safe cannabinoid products in smoke shops, convenience stores, and local markets could restore this tradition on a broader scale than a handful of licensees. We’re committed to reclaiming this birthright, enabling Virginians to pay their taxes with hemp once again.
