On Sept. 1, 2020, Arcadia Biosciences announced it had completed the purchase of Oregon-based Industrial Seed Innovations (ISI) specializing in organically grown, high CBD feminized hemp seed and seedlings.

In order to service existing ISI customers and Arcadia’s growing cohort of elite hemp cultivators, the company deployed a multigenerational team of five regional GoodHemp sales agronomists to support existing growers and expand Arcadia’s seed offerings to new territories. This included states with recent USDA-approved hemp plans including Florida, Arizona, Minnesota, Texas and Mississippi.
