Hemp Fiber Cultivation

This event is part of CT NOFA’s Skill Share program, produced in partnership with UConn Extension’s Solid Ground program.

Go through a season of growing hemp with this skill share as you meet up multiple times during the growing season to observe and discuss the processes of seeding, harvesting, and processing hemp for fiber production. If you are looking to add this into your growing operation as a product, or if you already grow it, but haven’t grown it with hemp fiber mind, this is the skill share for you.

This skill share will be conducted over the course of three field days, each focused on specific aspects of the hemp fiber growth cycle:

• SEEDING: May 20th (rain date May 21st)
• HARVESTING: September 14th
• PROCESSING: TBA, scheduled for November

This skill share program is free to attend. Register here.
