Im looking for a 20kg bulk bag of hemp seeds. Does anyone know where I can get some at a reasonable price? The same goes for hemp oil too.

Thanks in advance

It is very hard to find good hemp but I may have just seen a nice sample which could be available in about 2 weeks. For over year I have only seen rubbish hemp from about 6/7 of the main suppliers

Who sells that and can I get it online. How can you tell a quality hemp?

Crap hemp doesn't split when you boil it. And it sometimes floats.

So hemp normally comes from China or in recent years, France. For the last two years I have seen small, dusty hemp that will not split
One way I normally tell how good hemp is, is too take a sample of half a kilo or so and pour a kettle of boiling water over
Leave it overnight and see if any begins to split. Boil it the next day for 30 mins and see what it is like.
The hemp i sampled this week is definitely an improvement. It's just the cost 😢

Do you mix your hemp in with the goat mix?

I bought a sack of buckwheat instead of hemp last year and had some excellent results over it. Almost identical but cooks in half the time. Might be worth having a look.

Interesting. Think I might already have buckwheat in a goat mix or bird feed

Monster particles hemp is decent value if you get it in a deal. It's French hemp so smaller than your usual Chinese hemp. Prepared it's split well and oily as anything too. Imo it looks very similar to the small snail and Crustacea found on the lake bed (you know then boilie shots in the margins with the little black snails on) which can't be a bad thing either.

Do you guys find hemp seeds are best presented as they are or do you mix the hemp with any other particles?
Are you sure?
