Michael Lynch has traveled all over the world on various projects. He met Kim Kindersley, an award-winning filmmaker, who was living in Ubud Bali at the time, through a mutual friend in Kenya in 2013, whilst consulting on an environmental project. Michael, who comes from a long line of farmers, returned home to Ireland in 2017 and soon moved into Riverside Farm, County Cavan, with his family.
The project was conceived with Kim Kindersley over the next few years. “I had started to take CBD oil for inflammation and to help with depression, this was my starting point and I was blown away at just how effective it was. I shared my findings with Michael, naively thinking it would be easy to grow hemp and make CBD oil ourselves.”
What has unfolded has been a magical challenging journey, which every day continues to inspire. We are only just beginning to get a real sense of the potential of this divine plant. In 2022 early January we fell foul of the FSA in Ireland and were forced to cease our beautiful production here. But our network of beautiful like-minded souls kicked in right away and now we believe that our oil coproduced with our Swiss partners is even better.
