Travis Samuels, ZION Growers
Travis is co-owner, COO, and Director of Business Development for ZION Growers, an industrial hemp processing and value added products company located in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. he company's goal is getting it from its raw form in a farmer's field into a material that can be turned into clothes, fuel pellets, or plastics by processing the hemp plant and turning it into bales of fiber and piles of hurd, which looks similar to wood chips. Learn how ZION Growers evolved from a CBD focused venture to a fiber based processor, the pitfalls they encountered, the market research they did to assess and confirm the potential for their current iteration.
