On Wednesday, September 11, AIN members will have the opportunity to learn more about one of the most exciting new agribusiness industries- hemp based products for the consumer. We'll be visiting Commonwealth Extracts, a local hemp processor and CBD oil custom manufacturer. The company also produces other botanical extracts.

Commonwealth Extracts was founded in 2014 shortly after the passage of the 2014 farm bill, which allowed for the commercial production of Industrial hemp. The company has grown from a 4,000 square foot proof of concept facility into an 88,000 square foot full scale manufacturing and production facility.

Commonwealth Extracts currently contracts 600 acres of production from Kentucky farmers and will be increasing that to 2500 acres by 2020, after the completion of their current expansion plan.

We hope you will be able join us. Please RSVP to Laura Berry at 502-367-5291 or by email at Laura.Berry@kyvenues.com or through our website.
