I recently moved to Hot Springs, MT, to begin research on a project that I am starting called MAP (the Missoula Attainability Project).  I have taken an interest in hemp, and the first name that came to my ears in regards to making use of this plant was Frances DeForrest.  Frances has been a nurse for 20 years and currently works from home as a triage nurse, helping people who call in from all over the country.  She is also an active hemp advocate.  She has a nearly completed gypsy bardo made with hempcrete and other hemp products that she can travel with and use for educational purposes.  She also has plans for her own hempcrete home, and has experimented with many other uses for this versatile plant.  In this episode we talk about Frances's diverse body of work with hemp, building with hempcrete, and the MAP project.  Thank you for listening to ZAHP! and for your continuing referrals for amazing interviews!
