2022 has seen the start of some new hemp businesses appearing across WA  and they are joining some of the Co-op members more established brands.

Bronwyn and Chris Blake are in their fourth year as hemp food innovators and suppliers having started Vasse Valley Hemp Farm in 2017.  From their beginnings selling home made spicy dukha and hemp seed oil,  they have branched out into the wellness market with new ranges in terpenes and capsules. Their aim is for the general population to have access to affordable products that stimulate the endocannabinoid system without having to resort to medicinal cannabis.

Soap, Suds and Oils is a wonderful cosmetic company developed by Nicole Botica.  While in the UK in the early 2000's, Nicole worked with BodyShop to produce their hemp range, and so when she returned to Busselton it was only natural that she would develop her own range of moisturisers, balms and soaps, blending essential oils and hemp to create unique products.  

South Coast Hemp is the brainchild of Brad Skeggs who is farming and working in the Denmark region - building his online hemp platform to sell a number of different food products made from hemp seed and buckwheat.

Greg LeGuier and Mark Power have established WA’s first food grade hemp seed processing facility in Harvey to service WA regional farmers growing industrial hemp crops for seed.  Harvey Hemp is selling WA grown and processed hemp seed oil, protein meal and flour, and dehulled hemp seeds.

GeoHempStock is the brain child of Ethel Hawkins and Gail Stubber, who are pressing seed for unfiltered oil and meal for horses and pets.  Ethel, a passionate horse person, has been using their 'golden paste' product for years on her horses and decided other people's animals deserved this amazing product.
