Hemp Seed Foods , then spent 2019 investigating a hemp milk and developing our brand “ Be-all ” and the company vision . We decided that our company vision would be based on a charitable trust called " Plant It Forward " - so giving back to the hemp community and providing support for those involved in moving the hemp industry forward .
