Why I added it
The reason is simple: so that you can concentrate on your business or on processing the harvested material and leave the growing to someone who can do it well. Aleš can — and we personally have very good experience with him. I place it in the catalogue next to the biomass because it is the same road one step earlier: you do not buy a raw material, you buy a season.
For municipalities and farms considering their own crop it is a way to try it first on someone else’s soil — with registration, agronomy and harvest in one pair of hands.
CUSTOM GROWING. Growing hemp of the Midwest variety to order, by number of plants or by area in m². The plants grow on the registered Asterion farm in Záhorie; after harvest you receive the dried and packed crop with documentation of origin.
What you are holding. You choose the scale — individual plants or an area. The field is registered, the crop notified, and the farm looks after the plants through the season. You receive photographs and reports on how your plants are doing. Harvest in October, drying, cleaning and packing; delivery in November. Yield and content depend on the season — the figures above are from previous years, not a guarantee.
Large volumes by agreement
Larger areas are handled individually under their own growing contract — from the choice of variety through agronomy to harvest, drying and a laboratory test of the crop in an accredited laboratory.
Who it is for — and who it is not
Those who want their own raw material with certainty of origin: herbalists, small makers, breeders, associations. Municipalities and farms that want to try their own crop first.
Those who expect a fixed yield or a fixed percentage — a field is not a factory. The harvest is not intended for direct consumption; it is a raw material for further processing with documentation of origin.
How it works+
1. Enquiry: you write the number of plants or the area in m², the purpose and the date. 2. Offer with price and contract. 3. Planting in May to June on the registered field of the Asterion farm. 4. Photographs and reports through the season. 5. Harvest in October, drying, cleaning, packing. 6. Delivery in November with documentation of origin and, on request, a laboratory test of CBD, CBG and THC content.
Variety and field+
The Midwest variety from the EU Common Catalogue, or a CBG variety by agreement. Outdoor growing in the sun, in living soil, organic regime without pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. Hand harvest.
Questions and answers+
Plants if you want to know exactly how many are yours. Area if you plan a larger volume — per m² the planting density and yield per area are calculated.
The dried, cleaned and packed harvest from your plants — flowers and leaves separately or together, as agreed — with documentation of origin.
Yes, by arrangement. The farm is in Záhorie, western Slovakia.

My products, the CBDICAL products, I place on the market as collector’s items of botanical value. They are not a food, a food supplement or a medicine — not because they lack their quality, but because current regulation does not allow it.
Everything I write here describes the plant, my making of it and what research has looked into. It is also a picture of how I imagine a state that lets a person decide about their own body — and about their animals — according to science, rather than limits set out of excessive caution.
What you do with the product is your choice.
