Unique Opportunity to Enter the Emerging Hemp Foods Industry
with 14-year old Pioneering Hemp Food company
The fastest-growing segment of the food industry is "Hemp Foods," or foods made from super-nutritious, super-delicious shelled hempseed and hempseed oil. Hempseed is 30% complete high-quality protein and 30% essential fatty acids including omega-3.
Now that the Hemp Foods market has been officially opened by a federal court ruling, this young but growing industry is prime and ready to go.
HempNut is the world's most famous, most infamous, oldest and first professional Hemp Food company. It was DEA compliant from Day One in 1994, and is a Best Practices company which never had an adverse contact by any government authority. The HempNut General Store on Yahoo! was the best-selling, largest, and oldest Hemp Food online retailer.
This is the company which broke the Hemp Foods market open to the mainstream, which others looked to for products, packaging, marketing, and R&D.
HempNut is strongest and best-known brand in the Hemp Food industry, and has the longest history and the most products. It was started by one of the most prolific and successful entrepreneurs in the natural food industry. Since 1980 the company Founder helped make "Tofu" a household word (and an enjoyable food), then turned his sights to hempseed as a food ingredient. He leveraged his existing expertise in natural soyfoods to make the finest Hemp Foods in the world. The HempNut Alliance included 27 other firms around the world, so first-mover HempNut was the lowest-cost producer of organic shelled hempseed in the world, as much as 60% less expensive than others.
This is the company which generated the most positive media coverage for Hemp Foods, and has been seen on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Roseanne Show” (9-minute segment with Roseanne Barr on CBS-TV), CNN's “On The Menu,” “Christina Cooks!,” “Alyssia's Raw Food Experience,” many dozens of local TV news, hundreds of newspapers, dozens of magazines such as Rolling Stone and Details, and many dozens of radio shows across the US.
The company won numerous awards from the hemp industry, including the Hemp World "Hempy Award" for Product Innovation in both 1997 and 1998, the Hemp Times "Bioneer Award" in 1997 for Outstanding Achievement in Food, and a Citizen Citation from the Mayor of Baltimore in 1997.
The industry firsts we achieved is astonishing, even to this day. From product development, process development, packaging material, packaging graphics, branding, marketing strategy, supply chain alliances, positive PR, and industry training, leadership and inspiration. If you see products or trade names or packaging designs which look similar to ours, you'll understand why we were the company to knock-off if you were a young Hemp Foods entrepreneur. We even (unwittingly) supplied top management to one of those upstarts.
We introduced Anita Roddick, Woody Harrelson, Ralph Nader and CIA Director/NAIHC Lobbyist James Woolsey to Hemp Foods, and Richard co-authored The HempNut Cookbook, published by Book Publishing Company.
The company helped steer the Hemp Industries Association (HIA) through its turbulent early years as Treasurer, Director, Food and Oil Council Chair, and Certification Chair, and founded the Hemp Food Association, dedicated to improving the quality of education, production and marketing of hempseed foods.
HempNut's vision inspired the start of many Hemp Food companies, including Manitoba Harvest/Fresh Hemp Foods, Nutiva, Galaxy Global Eatery, Living Harvest, Ruth's, Hempgrowers.com, HempTech, Hemp Oil Canada, Alpsnack, Kenex, French Meadow Bakery, Nature's Path Foods, and many others.
