June 5 is National Moonshine Day.
While moonshine is often remembered as a symbol of Appalachian independence and ingenuity, industrial h**p has its own uniquely American story.
Once widely grown across the United States, h**p nearly disappeared from American farms for decades before making its return in the 21st century.
Both remind us how changing laws can shape industries, communities, and traditions. Today, industrial h**p is once again finding its place in agriculture, manufacturing, and sustainable innovation.
Sometimes history isn't lost—it's rediscovered.
