HEMP,INC.’S TEN DIVISIONS
It has been Hemp, Inc.’s intent to continually invest inbuilding its hemp infrastructure, especially since none existed previously. Infact, the Company has instinctively been following the same path as Amazon…reinvesting profits and operating capital back into building theinfrastructure. This is a business strategy that has been proven and workswell.
All the years leading up to this point were building andfinishing the largest hemp infrastructure in America and now the Company isfocusing 90% of its efforts on marketing and generating revenues. The result,so far, has been almost crossing the million-dollar mark in revenue in just 10weeks.
Hemp, Inc.’s ten divisions are as follows:
Division One – The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure
Division Two – The Hemp Farming Infrastructure
Division Three – The Hemp Extraction & Pre-Roll BlendingInfrastructure
Division Four – The Hemp Educational Infrastructure
Division Five – The Hemp Marketing Infrastructure
Division Six – Accessories, Products and Services
Division Seven – Research and Development
Division Eight – Industrial Hemp Investments and JointVentures
Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting
Division Ten – Educational Entertainment
Division One – TheIndustrial Hemp Infrastructure
The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure (DivisionOne) currently consists of two hemp processing facilities across thecountry, with two more under development, which will include an in-housethird-party testing laboratory. The largest of the two is its multi-purpose industrialhemp processing facility and milling operation in Spring Hope,North Carolina. It’s the largest “industrial hemp processing center” in thewestern hemisphere and has grown to become one of the pre-eminent centers ofthe industrial hemp industry. The 85,000 square foot facility sits on 9-acres.It is environmentally sustainable and was built from the ground up in hopes of“Making America Hemp Again.” With a patent pending manufacturing process, theNorth Carolina facility is operating full time to process millions of pounds ofthe Company’s unique kenaf-hemp blend, to manufacture all-green natural losscirculation material (LCMs), called DrillWall® .
“We currently have 769,794 pounds of raw kenaf bales, 363,225pounds of DrillWall®; and 453,000pounds of Spill-B-Gone™. That’s a total of 1,586,019 pounds of product whichtranslates into finished product that will be sold for $1 – $4 per pound,” saidPerlowin.
In addition to the company’s industrial hemp processing facilityin Spring Hope, North Carolina, Hemp, Inc. also rents one of the mostsophisticated local processing centers (LPC) in White City, Oregon whichfocuses on hemp harvesting, drying, curing, trimming, bagging, storing, and insome cases selling high CBD hemp for local farmers and the Company’s own hempgrows in that area, and post processing for the CBD industry. The Company’sfocus is the “King of Hemp®” pre-rolls and high CBD smokable buds… a new phenomenon ofsmoking hemp which has caught the marketplace by storm.
Hemp, Inc. and their associates also have 4,500 acres of land inGolden Valley, Arizona (100 miles from Las Vegas, 20 miles north ofKingman, AZ). Out of the 4,500 acres of land, 500 acres are designated for theVeteran’s Village Kins Community (VVKC) for Arizona. Hemp, Inc. is preparing80+ acres, of the 500 acres, for hemp cultivation. The company aims to boostthe economies of these towns by offering affordable hemp processing services,which incentivizes local growers to add hemp to their crop rotation. Thecompany is continuing to scout new locations for local processing centers inFlorida, Kentucky, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, North Carolina and several otherstates.
Thus far, Hemp, Inc.’s Local Processing Center (LPC) in Oregonhas employed over 200 employees during its 2018 harvest season and over 300employees during its 2019 harvest season. As of first quarter 2020, the Companyhas employed close to 50 employees who are bucking, trimming, sorting, baggingand shipping the Company’s high quality premium Pre-98 OG Bubba Kush hemp.
Division One Products:
· DrillWall® (a loss circulation material)
· Spill-Be-Gone® (anoil spill cleanup product)
As of first quarter 2020, Hemp, Inc. is fulfilling a $1 milliondollar sales agreement, through its subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing(IHM), for its DrillWall®. According to CEO, BrucePerlowin, the Company has executed a sales agreement to sell $1million worth of DrillWall® over the course of one year. IHM received its first$30,000 payment and shipped the first batch of DrillWall® out in December, 2019and another $60,000 payment was received for the second batch of DrillWall® inFebruary, 2020 and a $30,000 payment in March, 2020. “We expect the remainingbalance from the $1,000,000 over the next few months,” said Perlowin. IHM isbased in Spring Hope, North Carolina, and is the production facility for DrillWall®, along with other industrial hempproducts.
Division Two – The HempFarming Infrastructure
The Hemp Farming Infrastructure (DivisionTwo) consists of hundreds of acres of hemp and kenaf growing in multiplelocations, farm equipment, cloning rooms, clones and seeds, grow rooms,greenhouses, hemp drying facilities and a huge amount of peripheral farmingtools and equipment. The progress Hemp, Inc. has made in its agriculturalendeavors, over the course of four years, has been amazing. This year marks thefifth year that Hemp, Inc. has been growing hemp. (To see Hemp, Inc.’sagricultural progress from 2016 throughMay, 2020, visit Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/kingofpot andscroll through posts from 2016 tothe present. Visit https://www.hempincpresents.com/ tosee the videos of Hemp, Inc.’s grows in multiple locations.)
Hemp, Inc. also has two “Small Family Hemp Farm” models. The“Small Family Hemp Farm” in North Carolina is situated on 12 acres and consistsof a cloning room, a greenhouse, and enough land to grow 2,000-3,000 high CBDor CBG hemp plants. (This model farm can be seen on BrucePerlowin‘s Facebook page, in the Aug. 22nd – 26th, 2018posts.) The model shows farmers how to grow high CBD and CBG hemp plants,operate a greenhouse and turn a barn into a cloning room to earn up to$100,000+ a year. This shows an example of how the “Small Family Hemp Farm” canbe duplicated and reappear on the American landscape. After all, the originalsmall family farms in America were able to survive economically by growing hempas their main cash crop and the first five presidents of the United States wereall hempfarmers.
A model “Small Family Hemp Farm” is located Dolan Springs,Arizona. This “Small Family Hemp Farm” is referred to as “The Orchard” since ithas a sizable organic orchard. There are 2 acres on which hemp will be grown; acloning room; cold storage; and a greenhouse that is planned to be installed.This year mostly CBG hemp will be grown.
This year, according to Perlowin, the company is consulting on a55-acre grow in Oregon, partnering with “Tractor Richard” for 40 acres of CBGhemp and 100 acres of kenaf in Mohave Valley, Arizona. (See BrucePerlowin’s Facebook pagepost for May 19, 2020.) The 10 – 40 acres in Golden Valley, Arizona forthe Veteran Village Kins Community is based on how many people will sign up forthe Hempathon (1 acre joint venture grows with Hemp, Inc.), hundreds ofacres in North Carolina (a combination of hemp and kenaf), and anundetermined amount in other states.
It should be noted that the number of acreage and the amount tobe grown has fluctuated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Perlowin sayscollective sales from all of these grows will be extremely significant in termsof pre-rolls, high CBD and CBG buds, distillate, isolate, biomass and manyother products. “This year is about sales and marketing for us. Right now, Ibelieve we have the largest footprint of bio-diverse hemp products withvertical integration in the hemp industry in America today. We are alwayslooking for joint ventures where we have or can expand our footprint,”commented Perlowin.
Moreover, “A to Z” services for the farmers are available – fromharvesting to drying, curing, bucking, machine trimming, hand trimming,bagging, storing, nitrogen sparging, and selling… creating a “one stop shop”for the small to large family farms.
Division Two Products include:
· The Kingof Hemp® PreRoll Blends
· High premium CBD flowerfrom the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, North Carolina and Arizona
The super-premium Kingof Hemp® pre-rolls are in full production and use Hemp,Inc.’s A and B hemp colas. The A and B hemp colas are derived from Oregon-grownPre-98 OG Bubba Kush, one of the top selling cultivars on the market. Thestrain, rich soil and climate lend themselves to these colas being among thehighest quality buds, positioning them to be some of the best tasting forconsumption.
Advocates say Oregon has a uniquely suited climate, politicallyand agriculturally, to dominate the fast-growing industry. Given that Oregonfarmers have demonstrated the ability to grow world-renowned products, it makessense that they would be able to produce some of the best hemp buds in theworld. Hemp Inc.’s grow operation in Oregon is among the best in the state andhas yielded some of the highest quality hemp colas on the market. The companybelieves that they will hit the 20% mark of their grade A buds and the rest ofthe Company’s high-quality colas will be used for their new line of pre-rolls.
The Kingof Hemp® pre-roll line offers high-end products that are aneffective and flavorful, smokable alternative to cigarettes and other hempconsumption methods. The remaining A and B colas used in the newly launchedKing of Hemp® pre-rolls arecompliant with the 2018 Farm Bill, federal regulations, and regulations in themarkets where they are available for purchase. The King of Hemp® pre-rolls can be purchasedindividually or in packs of 6. Each pre-roll is 1 gram and does not exceed 0.3%THC.
As of the first quarter, sales from the pre-rolls total $3,435.The packaging (boxes) for the pre-rolls were delayed for two months due toCOVID-19 but executives say everything is back on track and they have 100,000boxes in inventory as well as 100,000 tubes for the pre-rolls in inventory.With everything back on track, pre-roll sales are expected to explode withmassive revenues to be generated next quarter.
Consumers can also shop on the newly redesigned website www.kingofhempusa.com forthe Kingof Hemp® pre-rolls. Each pre-roll contains a smooth, nearlyodorless natural hemp smoke. They are tightly rolled into a filtered cigaretterice paper for the ultimate discreet smoke. Many users have said the King ofHemp® pre-rolls present a calmingexperience, perfect for alleviating feelings of anxiousness and gaining mentalclarity.
The King of Hemp® tincturesalso hit the market with steady sales. While there was a slight interruption insales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sales are now back on track. The tincturesavailable on www.kingofhempusa.com arefast-acting CBD oil tinctures that contain the full spectrum of hemp oilextracted from the flowers and leaves of hemp plants grown by the Company. Itcontains .3% or less THC so it’s federally legal nationwide.
Within the next 30 days, the Company expects to roll-out thesecond product in the King of Hemp® (KOH)product line “Midnight Express” in honor of Billy Hayes who made the namefamous in the 1978 movie “Midnight Express” chronicling his suffering at thehands of Turkish authorities for trying to smuggle hash shish out of Turkey.
Hemp, Inc. is also hosting the Hempathon at the VeteranVillage Kins Community in Arizona. Contestants are growing 1acre of hemp in a contest with other growers from around the country. Hemp,Inc. is providing land, water, security, and live streaming video coverage forparticipants. The Hempathon entry fee is $5,000 and a 50/50 revenue split.Winners of the Hempathon will share in several awards and prizes of up to$50,000.
The Veteran Village Kins Community in Arizona has 6 domes andthe overnight RV camping sites (see BrucePerlowin’s Facebook page post on 5/16/20) are being set up sopeople can stay on the land during the Hempathon grow. Live streaming videocameras are also ready, so the world can watch the “The Great AmericanHempathon” in real time.
Also, as part of the Hempathon, Hemp, Inc.’s Hemp Academy(Arizona) will offer classes in one of its geodesic domes during the Hempathon,which will include hemp experts, product developers, field trips to the growarea, and more. This hands-on, interactive, educational experience is thechance of a lifetime for people to learn about this new emergingmulti-billion-dollar industry from hemp industry experts.
A 44-ft geodesic dome will be set up to show movies,documentaries and courses on everything from bio-dynamic farming, permaculture,organic farming practices to bees, predator pest control, soil amendments,cloning, grafting and other peripheral agricultural course materials.
“Knowledge is power and by sharing knowledge, we all growtogether,” says CEO Perlowin.
Those interested in signing up for the Hempathon should contactChris Tinney ctinney@hempinc.com.
Division Three – TheHemp Extraction & Pre-Roll Blending Infrastructure
The Hemp CBD Oil Extraction & Pre-Roll BlendingInfrastructure (Division Three) originally consisted of aSupercritical C02 Extractor. After operating for over a year it has beendetermined that Hemp, Inc. will not be involved in the extraction industry andhas changed its direction to focus primarily on the King of Hemp® pre-rolls and The King of Hemp® high CBD smokableflower. The CBD oil that was extracted from the 2018 hemp grows inNorth Carolina has been made into pure crystalline CBD isolate which was addedto the Company’s “King of Hemp®”branded line of pre-rolls that are now in the marketplace across all 50 states.
In lieu of building its own extraction laboratories, Hemp, Inc.plans to utilize the facilities of other labs in the industry to manufactureits own line of CBD oil products while they continue to build and expand theinfrastructure for pre-rolls and high CBD smokable buds. The Company will hireor joint venture with other, already existing, labs to manufacture CBD, CBG,CBC, CBN, and other products in its future cannabinoid line. With 150 differentcannabinoids, over 300 terpenes, and more of each being discovered almostmonthly, the product range and possibilities in this area are endless.
Division Four – TheHemp Educational Infrastructure
The Hemp Educational Infrastructure (DivisionFour) includes Hemp, Inc.’s Hemp University which focuses oneducating and empowering Hemp farmers and entrepreneurs with knowledge,processing, infrastructure and support. The educational seminars,through the Hemp University, are held periodically (as needed).

Division Five – TheHemp Marketing Infrastructure
While marketing is a critical facet of any business operationfor increasing revenues, Hemp, Inc. believes there must be a keen focus on theinfrastructure. The demand for CBD, CBG and other hemp products is massive,some even say the demand is insatiable. In order to supply that type ofvolume/demand, there must be a strong foundation or infrastructure in place.While Hemp, Inc. continues to grow a rock-solid Hemp Marketing Infrastructure,CEO Perlowin reminds us that this infrastructure has to be able to support ameteoric industry growth. The cannabidiol (CBD) market is on track to grow to$23.7 billion through 2023, according to the BrightfieldGroup. The firm also estimated the smokablehemp market to be valued at $11.5 million in 2018, a growth of250% from 2017. “This is why we consistently focused on infrastructure for solong. Since we made that a priority, we are now positioned to go into anaggressive marketing mode,” says Perlowin.
In late January 2020 the first King of Hemp® Storehad a soft launch in Kingman, Arizona. This 5,000 square foot Wells Fargo bankbuilding is in the heart of Old Town Kingman next to historic Route 66 and willshowcase everything hemp, including the KOH pre-roll line, flower, tinctures,health and beauty products, and Hemp Blue’s hemp denim jeans (www.hempblue.com).The retrofitted, once Wells Fargo Bank building, will also retain the workingvault.
The company has also recently joint-ventured with the retailstore “Hemp Healthcare”, in Dolan Springs, Arizona, to sell high-endcannabidiol (CBD) and hemp-based products. “Hemp Healthcare” is home to anarray of renowned CBD and hemp products, including Hemp, Inc.’s cosmetic andwellness line that includes shampoos, conditioners, lotions, candles and more.The retail storefront is conveniently located off Highway 93 in Arizona, in ahighly trafficked tourist area. Specifically located on Pierce Ferry Road,“Hemp Healthcare” is next to “Dolan Station” – a location that welcomesnumerous tour buses daily with visitors from around the world that stop thereon trips to the Grand Canyon. On some days, up to 40 tour buses stop at thislocation, filled to the brim with tourists on their way to the Sky Walk at thewestern realm of the Grand Canyon. The Company expects a very good return laterthis year. It should be noted that due to COVID-19, tour buses are notcurrently running but the store has become incredibly active due to COVID-19.
Division Six – Accessories,Products and Services
Division Six focuses on the sale of hemp industry accessoriessuch as the sale of extractors, harvesters, storage bags, containers,fertilizer, soil amendments, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, balers, greenhouses,and greenhouse equipment; the drying, trimming, curing, storing and brokeringfor other farmers harvesting hemp; and ultimately anything else a hemp farmermay need to be successful.
“What we found is that people are always looking for hundreds ofitems. New harvesting equipment, irrigation equipment of all kinds, soil amendments,organic soil fertilizers, organic pest control products, new extractiontechnologies and more,” said Perlowin. “As we expand this Division, we willstrive to become the Amazon of the hemp industry.”
According to Perlowin, Hemp, Inc. is currently building out anew section of its website that will list all of the products. This informationwill be available on https://www.hempinc.com/ inthe near future.
Division Seven – Researchand Development
While Research and Development has been an integral part ofHemp, Inc. since day one, a more formal research and development project willbe planned for later this year. This division will then start and expandrapidly. The Company originally planned for Puerto Rico to be a research anddevelopment hub, but found the barrier to entrance was much too great and hastherefore changed its position to focus its research and development divisionon states where hemp is already legal. Hemp, Inc. is proud to have been apioneer and leader in the early stages of the hemp industry in America with ourstrategy to build infrastructure even before legalization occurred in a statesuch as what was done in North Carolina and Arizona.
“It is now more economically advantageous to operate in a statethat already has several years of legalization behind it because it makes iteasier further down the road for hemp companies to thrive – just as we havedone in North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada and especially Oregon. Our growingoperation in Oregon hit a grand slam, 2 years in a row.”
Division Eight – IndustrialHemp Investments and Joint Ventures
Hemp, Inc. established its eighth division (Industrial HempInvestments and Joint Ventures). Since the passing of the 2018 hemp bill, Hemp,Inc. has been flooded with inquiries of people who want to invest in the hempindustry but don’t know where to start. As the Avant-guard of the industrialhemp industry, Hemp, Inc. has put together numerous joint venture investmentopportunities for the medium to large-scale investor. Those who are interestedshould email ir@hempinc.com. Millionaire investors, and in some cases billionairesand billion-dollar hedge fund managers, are aggressively trying to get into thehemp industry since the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. Our joint ventureagreements are that they put up the money and we put up the expertise in a50/50 revenue share (after all the initial investment money is paid back).This will save the large-scale hemp investor often two years and dozens ofmulti-million-dollar mistakes that they “WILL” often make without an expert inthe hemp industry. This is where Hemp, Inc.’s vast network of experts andresources, built over a period of 10 years, in the industrial hemp industrycome into play because this is something we can easily provide to thoseinterested in entering this industry.
Division Nine – IndustrialHemp Consulting
Hemp, Inc.’s Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana ConsultingCompany (IHMMCC) was recently restructured as its ninth division and is now“Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting”. With an influx of publiccompanies wanting to expand into the industrial hemp industry, Hemp, Inc. hasbeen inundated with potential consulting agreements. To keep up, Hemp, Inc.revamped its consulting division to work hands-on with each company to provideits years of expertise. According to Perlowin, there is a sense of a “Communityof Companies” whereby a lot of companies are working together to pool theirresources, marketing connections and strategies in order to growsimultaneously.
Typically, companies seeking in depth consulting services fromHemp, Inc. pay mostly in stock since cash flow is oftentimes tight during thedevelopmental stage of start-up companies in this industry. Through Hemp,Inc.’s Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting, a wide range of services areforged from the experiences of creating the first publicly traded company inthe cannabis sector (Medical Marijuana, Inc.) and having over a decade ofexperience in the industrial hemp industry’s public sector. Perlowin, Hemp,Inc.’s chief executive officer, also has over five decades in the industry.
Division Ten – EducationalEntertainment
Hemp, Inc.’s newest division, Entertainment, will covereverything from investing in the movie “The Adventures of the King ofPot” (https://www.kingofpotthemovie.com/)and other historical movies, books and documentaries representing our industryup to the current docuseries being made on “The Modern Day History ofHemp”. Those interested in investing in any one of these ventures shouldcontact the division’s Project Manager, Chris Tinney, at 855-554-6834 or viaemail, ctinney@hempinc.com.
VETERAN VILLAGE KINS COMMUNITIES
To see the livestream feed for the Veteran’s Village KinsCommunity Arizona, visit https://www.hempinc.com/arizona andclick on “View Live Feed” or visit www.kinscommunity.com andclick on the “Livestream Video” tab.
The company’s 500-acre strategic growing partner Veteran VillageKins Community in Golden Valley, Arizona, is designed to grow hemp and produceCBD and CBG products to benefit veterans as well as generate revenue for Hemp,Inc., the Veteran Village and individual veterans living in the community.
The Veteran Village Kins Community in Arizona has completed itsfinal site plan blueprints for its 36 of the 500-acre site in Golden Valley,Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV).The site plan was submitted to the Mohave County Building Department for finalreview. The Company is also in the final stages of completing the necessaryinfrastructure to support an off-grid, renewable, energy system.
Live streaming video can be accessed on www.kinscommunity.com byclicking the “Livestream Video” tab. Viewers are able to actually see the waythe Veteran Village Kins Community is designed and watch it being built.According to Perlowin, the basic framework or overall plan of the VeteranVillage Kins Communities is to create a holistic healing and learning centerthat is designed to educate and heal veterans with PTSD, alcoholism, methaddiction, opioid addiction, and other psychological conditions while at thesame time training them on the numerous aspects of being part of the emergingmulti-billion-dollar hemp industry.
The Company will also build hemp-growing communities for othergroups such as “Abused” Women & Children Village Kins Communities; the“Orphans” Village Kins Communities; “Homeless” Village Kins Communities, the“Healers” Village Kins Communities (the healers are professionals who areknowledgeable in the modalities to treat these traumatized groups); and acommunity to “Heal the Healers” called Heal the Healers Village Kins CommunityArizona. These particular communities are all synergistically aligned to worksimultaneously supporting each other.
For example, the “Healers” heal the traumatized veterans andwomen & children; the women support orphaned children, and orphanedchildren want to see people living in homes and not homeless. Thus, a portionof the hemp grown in each community goes to create and support anothercommunity, giving everybody a sense of giving back and helping others as theyhelp themselves. This circles back to the healers who also work to heal theveterans and the other traumatized groups. This is the economic foundation onhow the sale of the hemp products operates as a “quantum economic matrix” or anexample of “symbiotic economics” which is way more complex than this briefdescription allows.
Dwight Jory, the Project Manager for the “Veteran Village KinsCommunity Arizona, Inc.”, said, “We are very happy with the progress. Our KinsCommunity is really beginning to come together.” Planting began April 20,2020 (see Bruce Perlowin’s Facebook page post on 5/15/20). Three-hundredacres have been fenced and 120 acres have been scraped and cleared to growhemp, 13 overnight trailer park sites are under construction, and organicgardens have been planted, according to Jory. These organic gardens double asexperimental growing modules using an entire array of different growingtechnologies to see which modalities grow the best in a desert environment. Asfor the 6 geodesic domes, two have been converted to greenhousenurseries (see Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook page post on5/14/20) and the others are structurally intact. “We have been gaining alot of momentum in our Veteran’s Village, so these updates change week byweek,” says Perlowin.
“We are now accepting volunteers who have expressed an interestin helping to build the first Kins Community for our veterans,” said Jory.Those interested in making the first hemp growing CBD-producing “VeteranVillage Kins Community” become a reality should contact Ms. Sandra Williams viaemail (swilliams@hempinc.com).
One thousand trees, on 36 of the 500-acres, have also beenplanted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The “Veteran Village KinsCommunity” will include a 100,000-square foot GMP compliant, central processingplant, a state-of-the-art testing laboratory, and various health and wellnesscenters to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or healthissues.
“As Hemp, Inc. positions itself on the forefront of America’sindustrial hemp revolution, we see our partnership with ‘Veteran Village KinsCommunity Arizona, Inc.’ being paramount in supporting the small family farmmovement that we are confident will reshape the American landscape,” saidPerlowin. “As we work toward getting our eco-village up and running in GoldenValley, Arizona, we are also aggressively scouting strategic locations in otherstates including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving veterans and other Americans a place tolearn new skills and take part in this multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market isvery exciting. It’s a big part of our mission to give back. Recently we haveexpanded our Kins Community concept internationally focusing on, but notlimited to, Israel, New Zealand, Canada, Africa, and Australia.”
Hemp, Inc. executives are also continuing to scout new locationsnationwide to open additional hemp processing centers in legal markets.
