I just wanted to thank you for the order. It was my first
time ordering from Hempzels and I must say words can't
describe how I feel about your baklava. Amazing just
doesn't say enough! It was so good I had to take some to
my grandma (who turns 95 in 2 weeks!) for her to try and she
approves as well :) I'll definitely be ordering more! Oh
and the mustard was really really good too.. I put some on a
polish sausage and was like yum!! Just thought I'd share.
And thanks for the free organic granola bar, I kinda like
their flavor better than the Ruth's bars and that says a lot
because I love Ruth's bars! Keep working to free the seed,
you're doing fabulous! Peace, ~Lucy (State of

there are 1000s of acres of idle farm land and out of work

glad to see I can order it from your website. I just
purchased the last bottle from a local store who won't be

date was 04/08. I was just wondering if it is still ok to
consume? Username: Jeanne (Teaneck, NJ) -
SPH Response: Judy, by now the potency has
left the mustard, the product will be more apple cidery
taste vs horseradish, it's always best closer to production
date, keep it refrigerated & try it mixed with olive oil in
a dressing. We need to do more sampling at the stores.

January 10, 2008 Mustard
Comments: Simply stated, this is a wonderful product with no
legitimate competition. I tried this at the Pennsylvania
Farm Show just today, literally eight hours ago, and it
truly amazed me. So much so that I bought a bottle
immediately after a tasting, and I wish I had purchased
more. I love mustards, and this is a truly excellent one.
The addition of horseradish provides a wonderfully zesty,
agreeable kick to traditional whole seed mustard, as well as
makes this a truly Pennsylvanian mustard. The omega 3 and 6
health benefits are a welcomed suprise as well; I have not
been able to find a mustard with such health benefits, even
in health food stores. This is truly a remarkable product. I
never anticipated that something I use everyday, mustard,
could incorporate such wonderful health qualities. Like many
people, I assumed consuming omega oils required eating foods
that are not traditional, but this is apparently not the
case. Unfortunately, hemp seed must be sourced from Canada
as our own government refuses to help our farmers in the
endeavor to create healthy, beneficial foods. This is a
truly wonderful product. Thank you. - Matthew

Hello there! I have been enjoying your pretzels for
many years now. I purchase them from my friends Frank &
Jude, who own Natural Selections (aka the Hemp Shop) on
Ocracoke Island NC.
I was born & raised in Lewisburg, PA, and was practically
weaned on good sourdough pretzels. When I moved to NC
with my stained glass business 12 years ago, I was
disappointed to find that good pretzels were not available
in the local grocery stores. (Plenty of pork & greens,
but alas no hard pretzels - I guess there's just no
accounting for taste ;) So I was really excited when Jude
asked me to try your hempzels. One "peace" and I was
hooked!
They are even better than my old favorite from PA, Wege
sourdoughs, and I buy a bag everytime I visit Ocracoke. I
sell my stained glass on the Island, and I even make
hemp-leaf suncatchers for Natural Selections. So in the
summer, I can get a bag or two of hempzels every couple of
weeks, yay!
I especially like the white salt on my hard pretzels,
which leads to the question I have for you: Are you
putting less salt on them than you used to? It seems to
me that they just aren't as salty as they used to be a
couple of years ago. They still satisfy my deep craving
for the world's best pretzels, but they could use just a
little more salt lately. I understand the current need
for dietary correctness, but if you could save the
saltiest pretzels (original sourdough flavor) and bag them
up for your Ocracoke, NC orders, I would be eternally
grateful! (I know you can't do that - I'm a flaky artist,
but not that flaky, ha-ha) 
Anyway, keep making those great hempzels while we keep up
the good fight to legalize industrial hemp!!
Your friend - enjoying a hempzel & a cold beer as we
speak,

Studio ( NOTE SPH - Thanks Alison - since we sell
mainly to health food stores I will work on also getting
out some good ole salty pretzel "PEACES" - Enjoy the

I just love your hempzels, I have been a 27 year

would love if you would pick up a bag of our sea salt at our food co-op and
make your hempzels with the Sea Salt and call them Hempzels with Sea Salt. Sea
Salt is better for you than regular table salt. It has lots of minerals that
