This harvest season, pumpkins and apples aren’t the only autumn commodities available to pick yourself in Johnson County.
Now in rural Oxford, pick-your-own hemp is available — at least for a couple weekends — at one of Iowa’s hemp farms. On Sept. 18 and 19, hundreds of visitors flocked to Carriage House Hemp Farm, where hemp farmer Mark Wright helped them clip and bag the right flower buds to take home. Another pick-your-own weekend was also planned recently.
“People stop here all the time and ask questions,” Wright told the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
So, why not let them pick it, he asked himself.
