If you’re interested in checking out a hemp farm in Australia to learn about hemp production and its many applications then you are in luck. Australia’s only government authorized hemp farm that is conducting tours is open in Byron Bay, Australia. Called Hemp Farm Australia, the hemp farm is spread over 80 acres and includes tea rooms and a hemp museum.

Visitors to Hemp Farm Australia can learn how to grow hemp to turn into fibre, fuel, food, medicine, building materials and paper. Live hemp paper, hemp oil and hemp food demonstrations are all part of your visit to the hemp farm.

Industrial hemp is the legal form of cannabis in Australia. It contains virtually no drug ingredients (less than 1% THC – the drug cannabis contains 10-15% THC). You could smoke a field of it and all it would do is give you a headache. The application and uses for hemp are vast and as a crop it is well suited to Australia.

Hemp Farm Australia was set-up by founder and principle Professor Paul Benhaim as an ongoing effort to educate and empower everyone with the knowledge gained from industrial hemp. The demonstrations, tour and activities are designed to educate visitors about the many uses of hemp and the value of hemp as an industrial crop in Australia. Hemp chocolate and hemp ice cream demonstrations are popular on the tour as well as hemp smoothies.

The hemp buildings on the farm demonstrate how you can use hemp building materials, plaster with hemp, combine hemp with straw bale techniques and use local building materials to build a hemp house.

As well as tours of the hemp farm you can also participate in workshops.
