Winter‑grown, dryland hemp is here. Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) coverage of the Grenfell (NSW) trial points to real momentum, and we’re proud to have been part of it. In cold, low‑rainfall conditions (with no irrigation), the crop hit 2m+ in ~3 months(≈7.5 cm/day), showed frost/cold tolerance, delivered big biomass for fibre/hempcrete, and fit neatly into rotations that support soil health.
Our Ruby varietal has excelled under these winter dryland conditions, delivering vigorous growth and strong rotation benefits for growers.
For growers domestically and internationally interested in Ruby sowing seed for 2026 onwards, get in touch.
