About Seed of 76
American Hemp
From the founding of our American Constitutional Republic, hemp has played an important role. Many of the founders grew hemp, our founding documents were printed on hemp, our flags were woven from hemp, our health care options, homes, and diets included hemp.
Hemp is a member of the cannabis family of plants. In the same way that cousins are similar, yet not the same, hemp is not marijuana, "diet weed" or "pot light." Hemp is it's own revolutionary unique genetic defined by God at Creation when, in Genesis 1:12, He declared that the seed bearing cannabis plant was His design, and it was good. Scholars have pointed to kaneh-bosm, also rendered in traditional Hebrew as kaneh or kannabus. The root kan in this construction means “reed” or “hemp”, while bosm means “aromatic”. This word appears five times in the Old Testament; in the books of Exodus, the Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.
In the hemp plant, there are phyto-chemicals called cannabinoids. These "nutrients" in the plant stimulate the endocannabinoid system in humans; a system designed by God to help balance every other system in the body, from managing discomfort through the musculoskeletal system, to supporting immune response, and balancing endocrine and neurological challenges to manage unproductive feelings, and supporting natural resting patterns.
Hemp has less than .3% Delta 9 THC by law - hemp will not make you "high." Our American grown hemp is abundant in CBD, as well as CBG, CBN and other minor cannabinoids that, along with plant terpenes, support a variety of wellness functions in the body. We also use gentle technologies to remove the THC from many of our formulas, for the cleanest, non "planty" tasting formulas possible. From tinctures (oil under the tongue), topicals, and gummies, and support for pets, we offer American hemp formulas for all ages and needs.
American Harvest
We formulate our products with producers that grow hemp exclusively in America. The majority of our legally-compliant hemp is grown in the Midwest, because that's our home and we choose to support the small American family farms that are fast-becoming the world's premiere hemp agricultural patriots. They are our neighbors, they shop in the same grocery stores, experience the same struggles, and survive and thrive with us.
We support veteran farmers whenever possible. For many, the horrors of war inflicted upon them by reckless bureaucrats have left them feeling unsupported, unappreciated, and uncomfortable. We want to provide opportunity to those finding innovative ways to support their families.
We come from generations of patriots who served honorably from the founding of our great nation, and tribes who tamed this continent before them. Our daughters are daughters of the American revolution. Our grandfathers served in the Army, Air Force, and Navy. Our ancestors were Oregon Trail guides, Crow tribal chiefs, Scottish freedom fighters, Viking raiders, fur traders, soap makers and Iroquois mothers.
We harvest American hemp because we love America and Americans. We love all people, every tribe and tongue, and believe the American experience and American exceptionalism is uniquely equipped to see all people made free. America is good and noble, undefined by a narrow view of history.
We are the seed of 1776, forgiven and free.
American Heritage
We are unashamedly American. We believe our Nation is a gift from our Creator, the almighty God of the Bible, the Father of our Lord and savior Jesus, who was called Christ. From the founding of this country, flawed but noble men and women strove to become more than what they were or had known, to establish a land governed by and for the people.
America is a rare country, in that we recognize all were created equal by the Creator, where the born and unborn would have their individual freedom and liberty protected, all races would have equal value - so much so that a quarter of a million native Americans, Europeans, and Africans were willing to lay down their lives to see those in the bondage of slavery set free - not just in America, but around the world. Where our immigrant families would arrive and join with the indigenous tribes of the land, who's land was taken from them, land their ancestors had conquered from other indigenous tribes before them. We believe in a nuanced perspective on the totality of human existence, and that humans, in their fallen nature, commit terrible injustice upon each other and we have a mission to share that the Truth of Salvation, regardless of station, is available to all people.
Like us, this country was not perfect from the beginning, thus demonstrating the need for the justification (made blameless through Jesus' substitutionary death on the cross) and sanctification (to repent and seek a path that honors God in mind, body, and behavior.) We believe that this is the cure to America's societal woes, injustices, and the illness of the modern body politic. We don't believe in coercion or forced conversion, and as such, we don't accept coercion or conversion into the Fascistic global world view offered by the political and entertainment class.
About Us
Our American Heritage
Our grandfathers served this country in the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard, with grandmothers who raised their families, loved openly, and laughed frequently. Our family has been involved in the study of cannabinoids and wellness for 25+ years, working directly with hemp since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp in the United States.
We have a brick and mortar shop and we stayed open during the economy-destroying shutdown of 2020, serving our clients during a time when governments were claiming churches and small businesses were super-spreader locations, and giant, corpocratic big business and liquor stores were essential. Our clients chose a natural path to wellness, and we persevered for them. Now, we're ready to share our non-partisan, non-converged, American family farm sourced formulas across the country, to anywhere in the USA.
