[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Two Amish men dive into a deep sack of cannabis, scooping out handfuls of emerald buds before smelling them intensely.
It's not a scene you ever thought you'd see.
But in the beating heart of Amish country - Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - a green revolution is underway.
This week, DailyMail.com was granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to a network of farms where Amish growers expect to sell $3million of their produce to big buyers across the US by 2025.
It is part of a nationwide trend in which the Amish, who once relied heavily on tobacco crops, are pivoting to more profitable cannabis cultivation, feeding a newly-legalized CBD market forecast to be worth $16billion in two years' time. |
