On Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of hemp trees swayed their fragrant leaves in the wind in the greenhouse of a Mission hemp farm.
“We are not aware of anybody doing this type of volume actually south of Houston,” said Roberto Morales, owner of Healing Bloom Farm.
Healing Bloom handles all parts of production in-house with the main product being CBD oil, according to Morales.
“We are not aware of a facility this size going from seed to shelf, and my goal is to produce oil, a lot of CBD oil, to make a difference in people’s lives,” said Morales.
Morales said he has a family member who has suffered from seizures and was prescribed CBD oil, but at the time a 30-milliliter bottle would cost around $300.
