Worlds most valued Hemp variety Comes to Indian Country

Cherokee Genetics Co a subsidiary of Native Health Matters Foundation, Stilwell, OK, and Schiavi Seeds LLC, Lexington, KY, are proud to announce, a partnership to provide certified hemp planting seed to American Indian farmers. Since the sixteenth century, Italian hemp was considered the best in the world and the most valuable seed was the dioecious landrace ”Carmagnola,” which was grown in, Turin area. High quality fiber and CBD% content. "Having access to the right genetics is critical to the success of farmers who are interested in hemp. Having purchased non performing seeds and clones in the past few seasons, this relationship is very important to help ensure American Indian farmers have access to planting seeds that are proven to be both compliant and return high yields,” said Tim Houseberg CO-founder of the Cherokee Community Organization nonprofit Native Health Matters.

The partnership with Schiavi brings exclusive rights for several European hemp seed varieties to Indian Country (see below), all listed in the OECD varietal database, with less than .3% THC. These hemp varieties are very sought after and will be in strong demand for the following industries: CBD oil, grain, seeds, and fiber.
