Regenerative Hemp Field Day at Pocono Organics

Regenerative Hemp Field Day at Pocono Organics

Author: Eric Hurlock, Digital Editor August 27, 2025 Duration: 40:47

This week on the hemp show we're going to a field day at Pocono Organics. Not just any field day, but a hemp field day, which in my opinion, is the best kind of field.

The Hemp Field Day at Pocono Organics was hosted in partnership with the Rodale Institute and Jefferson University, August 21, 2025 in Blakeslee, PA.

One this episode we will talk to Ashley Walsh from Pocono Organics, Tara Caton from the Rodale Institute and Ron Kander from Jefferson University.

ON this episode we will also hear from Larry Smart and Jacob Bish from Cornell University about Cornell's upcoming hemp field day and 3-day hemp construction work shop.

This episode starts at Americhanvre's shop in Barto, PA, where Larry Smart just loaded an Ereasy Spray-Applied Hemp System into his truck.
