Ed and Spencer Hanbidge: Simply diversify

Born and raised at the foot of the Wicklow mountains, Ed and Spencer Hanbidge, two brothers bound by a shared passion for farming and sustainability, are the driving force behind HempTech Ireland.

Spencer Hanbidge: The Visionary Farmer Spencer, the younger of the duo, developed a fascination with organic farming at an early age. After completing his agricultural studies, he embarked on a journey to revolutionize traditional farming practices. His vision was clear—to establish a sustainable model that harmonizes with nature. In 2022, Spencer transitioned the family farm, Keadeen Mountain Farms, into the realm of organic agriculture. Under his stewardship, the farm gained recognition for regenerative and biodynamic practices, setting the stage for a profound shift in Irish livestock farming.

Ed Hanbidge: The Eco-Innovator

Ed, the older sibling, complemented Spencer's vision with a keen interest in eco-innovation. His journey led him to explore the potential of hemp as a sustainable crop. Recognizing hemp's versatility and eco-friendly attributes, Ed became a pioneer in hemp cultivation in Ireland. In collaboration with Spencer, they founded HempTech Ireland, establishing 'The Hemp Farm' as a beacon of excellence in organic hemp production.

Together: Cultivating Change

United by a shared commitment to environmental stewardship, the Hanbidge brothers embody a new era in farming. Their combined efforts have garnered accolades, including the prestigious RDS Sustainability Award in 2022. Beyond awards, their legacy lies in cultivating change—nurturing a sustainable future where hemp and traditional farming practices coalesce.

Ed and Spencer Hanbidge's story is a testament to the transformative power of dedication, innovation, and a shared love for the land. As custodians of the earth, they continue to sow the seeds of a greener tomorrow through HempTech Ireland.
