This week we sat down with Steve Barron, a filmmaker best known for directing the music video ‘Billie Jean’ for Michael Jackson and ‘Take On Me’ for a-ha. More recently, Steve took over 50 acres of farmland, in an effort to contribute something good to the world. After much research and thought, his contribution turned out to be organically farming hemp.
At his Margent Farm in Cambridgeshire, Steve was able to build his farmhouse, a carbon-negative building, constructed from the hemp grown in the surrounding fields.
Stay tuned to learn how Steve Barron built his house from hemp, the perils of farming and how hemp might the innovation material of the future!
