As of May 21, 2020, Vermont hemp rules changed so that hemp is now finally considered an “agricultural product.” Hemp has to be grown only by a registered individual through the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets as part of the state’s current pilot program.

How do you register?

Yes, but they are still currently operating under the 2014 hemp program rules for the 2020 growing season.
They’re still abiding by the pilot program from 2014.

Yes. You see! Vermont hemp is referred to as an “agricultural product” grown by a person that is registered with Vermont agency of agriculture, food, and the market for the sake of the program they have. This narrows down the THC measurement under 0.3 percent on a dry weight regular one. These rules also contain standards on a record of keeping labeling testing reporting that will cause provisions.

Yes. It’s legal to grow hemp in Vermont. In 2020, the Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets offers a hemp application registration form for businesses to continue operations without disruption. All hemp farmers must register and have the updated application form to grow hemp. Registrants must also provide GPS coordinates and an aerial map for the area, including access road.

Yes! Vermont has had an active pilot program for over ten years! However with the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, the regulations have loosened and it is much more simple. Check with the Vermont Department of Agriculture to find out how to apply and what other things are required before you can possess it.

It is legal to grow hemp in Vermont. It has been permitted to grow hemp in Vermont since 2009, but farmers faced strict regulations and interference from the government. Now it is much easier to develop, produce, and sell hemp in Vermont, as new laws have been instituted.
