Hemp, Inc.'s First Hemp Harvest in North Carolina Currently Underway

SPRING HOPE, NC--(Marketwired - Oct 4, 2017) - Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest industrial hemp multi-purpose processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today that the Company has begun harvesting 550 acres of North Carolina-grown hemp, and later kenaf (hibiscus cannabinus, a cousin plant to industrial hemp). The 550 acres of hemp and kenaf belong to both Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC (Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary) and independent North Carolina farms that are strategic partners with Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC. The hemp and kenaf -- to be harvested at various locations throughout the state -- will be processed and manufactured at Hemp, Inc.'s, now, 85,000 square foot facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina.

Those interested in purchasing viable industrial hemp seed should contact Ms. Sandra Williams at [e-mail]. These are seeds grown from industrial hemp plants from North Carolina's first hemp seed harvest... from certified seed out of Europe. The company expects to have around 100,000 pounds of seed available which will consist of a mixture of Felina 32, Futura 75, and Carmagnola.

"This is the first time in over 80 years that viable hemp seed grown in North Carolina is available. I encourage everyone, especially our shareholders, to check out the historic harvesting of some of North Carolina's industrial hemp crop by visiting my Facebook page. Scroll down to the posts between September 7th and 11th and September 20th and 22nd," said Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP). He continued, "Our industrial hemp grown in Kentucky will be ready for harvest later this month, which can also be seen on my Facebook page in the September 13th post."

"We want to remind our current and future shareholders that Hemp, Inc. strives to be one of the most transparent companies in the public sector. To adhere to this company policy of transparency, I post 1-minute video updates daily on my personal Facebook page to give an inside look and behind-the-scenes footage of what Hemp, Inc. is doing on a daily basis. We want them to know how the company is performing and what it is doing to reach its goals. For example, this past weekend we held the 4th educational symposium through the Hemp University. It was an overwhelming success."
