Hemp is Harvested at George Washington's Mount Vernon. George Washington cultivated hemp at all of his five farms throughout his lifetime, before hemp was demonized. Today, hemp is being grown through a federal pilot program passed by Congress in 2014, and corresponding legislation in Virginia, and in conjunction with the University of Virginia.
