Great question. Southern Oregon is a great place to grow hemp because it has the perfect combination of necessary elements to grow Cannabis Sativa L. In addition to rich soil, long hot summers, and pure water, we have an ideal terroir for the plant. Terroir is a term alluding to the ‘taste’ of a place. It is normally associated with wine, but it applies to all agriculture. Terroir is a result of climate, soil, terrain, flora, and even production tradition. Southern Oregon is located at the top of the Emerald Triangle. If Oregon is the premier hemp-producing state, Southern Oregon is the premiere production area within Oregon.
