A wholly-owned company of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians had its first-ever food distribution event for tribal members Friday in Belcourt, North Dakota. This event was funded in part by a USDA local food program assistance grant. Chippewa Harvest CEO David Trottier said hemp hearts were featured. “Hemp Hearts are just one of the many industrial hemp-derived food products that are quickly being recognized for the natural health benefits they offer,” said Trottier. “Hemp Hearts are organically grown and non-GMO, KETO friendly and PALEO friendly.” The Chippewa Harvest hemp hearts are expected to be commercially available within a year.
