Pennsylvania Hemp Industry Council added 15 new photos to the album: PAHIC at Farm Aid, 9/16/17 — with Erica Lynn.
Here are a few pictures from our time at Farm Aid. It was a great event. Behind our stand Limeworks from Bethlehem, Pa. mixed up a batch of Hempcrete and built a wall with it. In another tent a hemp paper-making demonstration was going on.
After a long day of work at the Homegrown Village we got to enjoy the concert, sticking around for Dave Matthews, John Mellencamp and Niel Young.
It was a great day and we had many fascinating conversations. As always, we both taught and learned a lot.

"In 1999, Shawn House took a gamble that hemp could be the food of the future.
Nearly 20 years later, the nutty seed has a foothold in the natural foods aisle, and entrepreneurs like House are looking for new ways to use it in everything from granola bars to tortilla chips.
House's Lancaster Trading Co. specializes in pretzels and spreads made with hemp, most notably his Hempzels a twist on the classic soft pretzel incorporating hemp seed, hemp flour and hemp oil; a horseradish-hemp-and-honey mustard; and hemp seed butter sold under the Natalie's Choice brand.
He has dabbled in everything from hemp brownies to peanut-butter filled hard pretzels, all of the results packed with more protein, vitamin E and fiber than traditional versions.
Hemp's growing reputation as a nutritional powerhouse is on equal footing with its versatility.
"It's a light, nutty flavor," House said. "Kind of like a sunflower seed."
Mixed into existing recipes before cooking, it might not even be noticeable to finicky eaters. But raw or gently heated, it can add welcome texture and depth of flavor to soft baked goods, crunchy salads, even meaty meatless burgers.
In June, the Rodale Institute's culinary arm designed a colorful, hemp-themed menu for an event promoting all things hemp at the institute's experimental farm in Maxatawny Township.
Among the offerings: coffee with hemp milk, hemp burgers, toasted hemp crackers and a salad dressing made with hemp oil.
RodaleWellness.com named hemp to its list of 70 super foods, citing the 11 grams of complete protein in a single ounce. Complete proteins include all 9 essential amino acids - ones the human body can't make on its own -a nd are typically only found in animal sources, including meat, eggs and dairy."
