high point hemp STORY & PHOTOS by DAN VINKOVETSKY @DANNYDANKOHT/NORTHEAST LEAF
Wantage Township in Northern New Jersey, bordering New York State, was formed several years before the American Revolution in 1754. Recently, a new uprising has begun here in Sussex County, as local farmers have diversified their traditional crops to include fields of lush and legal hemp plants. Tree Farm owner and operator Clay Allison of Beaver Creek Nurseries has been specializing in awardwinning Japanese Maples, among other rare topiaries, for years and is now gearing to harvest two and a half acres of smokable CBD-rich hemp flowers. We decided to stop by the farm and visit them while they were taking down their many thriving plants. NOV. 2021
