Hemp grows quite well in Tennessee, both agriculturally and commercially. Just ask LabCanna. In January of 2016, this local company received the very first license from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to process hemp. Now, there are well over a thousand would-be growers and processors applying for licenses. Talk about seeing green.
But LabCanna has the inside track and is staying a step ahead by introducing Harvest, their own hemp-inspired holistic café. Think community centric coffee house and restaurant with hemp creatively woven into much of the menu along with a small store to offer LabCanna’s growing selection of hemp and CBD products. The location is Fairview, a nearby town growing just as fast as the hemp industry itself. With its chic décor, yet cozy and child-friendly atmosphere, owners Joshua Camp and Ian Leadon have succeeded in their mission: offer an inviting place close to both Nashville and to their hemp farm where patrons may enjoy the magic of hemp-infusion — hemp leaves, hemp hearts, hemp milk, hempeh, etc. — throughout a wide selection of smoothies, lattes, sandwiches, and creative southern cuisine.
