I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


My company produces hemp foods in Pennsylvania, contracting with various manufacturers instead of re-inventing the wheel. We deal mainly wholesale to stores, businesses & activist - 1-800-USE-HEMP in the USA. The website is presently for retail direct ordering & information visit www.hempzels.com and
The brand Hempzels started with hand rolled Sourdough pretzels around 1997 under No Problem, Inc formally hemp tie dyers with the Original hand rolled sourdough hemp & traditional pretzel = "Hempzels" which are now available in 4 other flavors refered to as Crunchy "Peaces". Since the sale of the company in 2000 and under the Lancaster Trading House, Inc in 2005 Hempzels Peanut Butter & Hemp filled Pretzel Gems (no salmonella worries here)are presently on hold since I can't meet manufacturers volume increases for the moment. We are going to start retailing our hand rolled soft Hempzel Pretzels in 2009, and the operation has expanded over the years with Natalie's brand and products like a kickin Wholegrain Horseradish & Honey Mustard, Natalie's Vegan & "traditional" Hemp Seed Baklava, Whole Toasted Seed, Nut-less hemp butter & Raspberry & Hemp Jam.
As a hemp entreprenuer I am interested in making my daughters new emerging world a better place and not relying on someone else for employeement. I am the son of a military father & coal miners daughter they taught me through their actions the value of frugality, patriotism, perserverance & strong family ties. I have a determination to work on repealing the obstuctions that have been keeping the consumer ignorant & give back to the farmer the God given right to farm cannabis / hemp in Pennsylvania just like their great, great, great grandparents did. I want to see HR 1009 The Industrial Hemp Act become Federal Law! I am yearning to see the fields of hemp so close to my company business - just like I've seen in Canada 420 miles north of Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania. A big goal of the company - Lancaster Trading House, Inc. is to ultimately contract with our regional farmers for seed, nut, oil, fiber production - creating a true vertical market.
In my quest I enjoy meeting interesting people & activist - positive inspiration people NOT emotional vampires. So many have inspired me & kept me motivated to make things work. I want to meet folks looking to create a better world while increasing the business - building long lasting relationships with great customers who love my line of Pretzel(s), Mustard, Baklava & Hemp Seed, which is part of success & happiness.
Please ask for Hempzels at your local store - your purchase is your vote of confidence. Cheers to you & yours - to Freedom * Agriculture * Prosperity and Peace to all.
Now politically I consider myself an independent libertarian who constantly questions authority and certainly the direction our country has been going over the last 100 years - more politicians need to be fired to make our point. I can't stress enough the importance of supporting Dr. Ron Pauls Campaign for Liberty & sponsor of of the Industrial Hemp Act HR1009 which is the KEY to giving our farmers a choice to grow hemp (now that there is a new administration the bill needs to be re-introduced) - Dr. Paul's new effort for liberty is www.campaignforliberty.com (join today) He's a leader & champion of the Constitution & helping to change the course our country is in.
I am a peace maker who opposes war - democracy is best taught by example - not war. Violence only when necessary or in self defense.
