Allegra Shafer is the visionary force behind Monarch Hill Hemp, an artisan cannabis enterprise dedicated to producing high-quality hemp products. Situated on a family farm in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Allegra and her partner Bob take immense pride in their organically grown hemp plants. This duo combines their unique strengths to create a harmonious team, dedicated to crafting effective, top-notch products that highlight the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids.

Monarch Hill Hemp employs CO2 extraction methods, which ensure that their oils retain the full terpene profile, enhancing the health benefits of their products. This technique, combined with phytocannabinoids, creates a synergistic effect known as the entourage effect, amplifying the medicinal properties of the hemp. Allegra and Bob are passionate advocates for plant-based medicine, particularly the powerful healing properties of cannabinoids. Their commitment to making these benefits accessible is reflected in their pricing strategy, designed to keep their products affordable without compromising on quality.

The name Monarch Hill Hemp is inspired by the majestic Monarch butterflies that grace their farm. Allegra and Bob have dedicated large patches of milkweed and flowering habitats to support these butterflies, now on the endangered list. Their farm not only produces valuable hemp crops but also serves as a sanctuary for Monarchs, showcasing their dedication to environmental stewardship alongside their agricultural pursuits.

Bob brings a wealth of experience and technical expertise to the operation. With 50 years of farming experience and advanced degrees in electronics and education, he is the mechanical and research backbone of the farm. His skills in maintaining and operating farm machinery, along with his innovative creations such as a seed flat planter and a drying trailer, ensure the smooth running of Monarch Hill Hemp. Bob's background includes teaching at Chippewa Valley Technical College and extensive work in renewable energy, highlighting his diverse talents and relentless work ethic.

Allegra, a nature lover with a passion for herbal healing and creativity, handles product development, labeling, the website, and correspondence. With a BS in Science and a Master's in Environmental Pollution Control from Penn State University, she brings scientific rigor to the production of oil tinctures, gummies, and healing salves. Her background in analytical chemistry and renewable energy underscores her expertise in creating high-quality hemp products. Allegra's love for music and her electric guitar playing add a creative touch to her multifaceted role at Monarch Hill Hemp.

Together, Allegra and Bob embody the spirit of Monarch Hill Hemp, merging their talents and passions to produce exceptional hemp products while nurturing their farm's ecological diversity. Their dedication to quality, affordability, and environmental responsibility makes Monarch Hill Hemp a beacon of sustainability and wellness in the cannabis industry.
