Mick Andersen is the owner and managing director of Good Country Hemp, a South Australian based hemp foods processing company.
Mick was raised on a farm in central Victoria and graduated from Melbourne University with an honours engineering degree in Agriculture. In 2000 Mick established a shed design, construction and project management business focussed on the pig and poultry industries. Then after 18 years he decided to shut it down and start again – with hemp.
Knowing basically nothing about hemp, Mick and his wife Linda set about building a hemp foods business from scratch – contracting farmers willing to grow hemp, building a processing plant and finding new markets for their products. Their journey has been successful and life-changing.
