Evergreen Nursery space becomes Ambary Gardens indoor hemp grow

The Denver Post
Brady Bell is operating Ambary Gardens out of the old Evergreen Nursery at 26479 Highway 74 in Kittredge, with the help of owner Steve Cohen. The greenhouses there will be used to grow medical-grade hemp plants for cultivation of cannabidiol, or CBD oil, an extract being used to treat a number of chronic illnesses.

The business will not be a retail operation open to the public, but Bell said they plan to do plenty of outreach to educate the community about what they are doing and why.

"We're trying to raise awareness and bridge the gap, sharing the differences between (marijuana) and hemp," Bell said.

Business Q&A: Hemp Way Foods, Kittredge

The Denver Post
Interview with Carla Boyd, owner
Q: How did you get involved in this business?
A: I started Hemp Way Foods in 2014 because of my own experiences with food intolerance, health issues and not having realistic food options. I started researching hemp and experimenting with making our first product, the hemp burger. Hemp is a superfood with amazing health benefits like being a natural anti-inflammatory and assisting your body with nutrition absorption, among others. I really believe hemp can change our world — it can be food, fuel and fiber. I started off in a small deli-style grow and wine shop in Conifer and quickly expanded to local Evergreen restaurants and Denver-area markets. I have been doing pop-up-style kitchens for many years and have always had a passion to provide healthy, delicious food.
