REV On Air: Hemp as a Regenerative Super Power with Stephen Smith of Onda Wellness
This podcast episode is a part of the REV x Farmer’s Footprint Regenerative Podcast Series!
For the sixth episode in our regenerative podcast series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to Stephen Smith, founder of Onda Wellness, the nutrient dense regenerative hemp oil line based in Oregon! Stephen talks us through his passion for hemp’s many wonderful uses and his journey from growing up surrounded by nature, to working at ranches and vineyards, to then go on to start Onda Wellness. What’s special about Onda is their Biodynamic®, regenerative and organic sourcing as well as their proprietary whole flower infusion process (no extracts) at their on-site herb lab, as opposed to outsourcing. By having this close connection, Onda is able to have ultimate control over their products which means stewarding the spirit of the plant and offering the most expressive and efficacious hemp flower oil possible for ingestible and skincare products.
This Podcast episode is brought to you by our friends at Vivobarefoot!
“I think a lot about the essence of Onda and those of our partners, and it’s not only stewarding nutrients to consumers via our products but it’s inviting customers into reconnecting and trusting their bodies and their innate connection to source, whether it’s soil or intuition or spirit. We’ve gotten so groomed to go to certain professionals to ask for them to tell us how we feel and what drugs will “heal” us. There’s a time and place for conventional western medicine, but there’s also an opportunity to get intimate with whole plants and to connect with brands, institutions and communities that are creating more natural and intuitive conduits back to the earth.”
Stephen Smith
Thank you to El Encanto for hosting us!
As part of one of our first in-person podcast episodes since covid-19, we chose to host this conversation between co-founder of Rêve En Vert Cora Hilts, and founder of Onda, Stephen Smith at Santa Barbara’s Belmond Hotel – El Encanto. El Encanto is an all-round inspiration when it comes to sustainable hospitality and being a hotel integrated in and working with nature.
“El Encanto is a hotel that is leading the way in sustainable luxury – a hotel who’s ethos is as high as it’s aesthetic. From food to waste, it’s amazing to see as much effort going into ethical practices as there is service, beauty and comfort.” – Cora Hilts
