NZ Grown Organic Hemp Seed Oil

Humans and Hemp Seed have a long-standing relationship spanning thousands of years; it was one of the first cultivated crops known for its healing powers.   

After harvest the seed is harvested, we cold press and extract the oil without the use of chemicals, preservatives or additives.  Once pressed, it is clarified using cold filtering technology to remove any naturally suspended solids.  It is then bottled using Waihi Bush Organic Farm’s own process to ensure a superior fresh product reaches you in perfect condition.
