Beyond the Baja | Rethinking Hemp Markets

Beyond the Baja started the way most good things do—out of frustration, curiosity and a refusal to stay quiet. I was tired of watching the hemp conversation drift away from reality. A lot of noise. Very little execution. Farmers taking risk. Processors under built. Policy celebrated before it produces anything measurable.We’re here to talk about what actually matters: infrastructure, farmer equity, supply chain transparency, market shifts, and the policies that either build or break this industry. No fluff. No hype. Just honest discussions about what it will really take to move hemp forward.This isn’t another summit recap or a celebration of pilot projects. We’re asking why the same people keep showing up on the same panels, why millions in grants never reach the farmgate, why the reports keep coming but the markets don’t. And why hemp is still being pitched as a miracle crop while the real barriers, the processing, the market readiness and infrastructure continue to get ignored.Wha
