Hemp eggs: Kreider Farms introduces An egg-centric idea

The concept made its first trip through a Kreider Farms brainstorming session about six years ago. Hemp products were only an exciting idea then. Not yet a legal possibility.

Eggs were a natural starting point for Kreider, which was already producing a wide range of organic and brown options. That led to a question.

“Why not throw some hemp in there, see if we can get some elevated omegas and some elevated nutrients?” said Khalee Kreider, the company’s marketing manager. “It seemed like it would fit into what we already had going on.”

A seismic shift came two years later. The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the production of hemp and removed hemp and hemp seeds from the Drug Enforcement Administration’s list of controlled substances.
