Since 1990, Christopher Boucher has been recognized as a co-founder of the modern-day American Industrial Hemp Industry. Chris founded The Hempstead Company, one of the first U.S. hemp clothing and seed businesses, with products sold in 4,000 stores across six countries.  

He co-founded the Hemp Industries Association (HIA), and became America's first hemp cultivator, growing the first hemp research field at the USDA Center in Brawley, CA, in 1994. 

Chris drafted the first U.S. hemp legislation in California and Colorado, leading to the establishment of the first hemp agricultural laws in these states and the U.S. From 1997 to 2000, Chris helped pass the first Native American hemp laws on the Navajo reservation. Currently, he has developed a breakthrough innovation with hemp leaf CBDA superfoods.
