Description
Dion Oakes is an honest, integral, family loving man that has taken those values into the world of hemp. Dion is a multi-generational farmer that has incorporated hemp into his rotation and helps educate and assist other farmers that are looking to do the same. Through WO Hemp Processing and Wright-Oakes LLC, Dion Oakes and Shanan Wright grow and process hemp for nutritional food products. They provide wholesale bulk products for white labeling and retail operations that are interested in adding hemp food products to their products and shelves. In addition they have research and tested seeds that are available for anyone interested in growing. On the Wright-Oakes LLC farm, Dion partnered with Patagonia on a research project to grow hemp for fiber to be used in textiles. Bringing hemp back to the American Farmer with success driven processes and honest and integral players is of high importance to Dion. In addition to growing and processing hemp for food products, Dion also partners with First Crop. First Crop has incorporated regenerative farming practices into their operations, they have many partner farmers that receive a ton of support, and has CBD products that they offer to consumers. Our conversation with Dion was a great one and you can feel his passion and desire to help the farmer be successful and help grow this industry.
