Okhish Mound

 Brian Bolyer was born in the small community of Coushatta, Louisiana. He is a Third Generation automotive technician that took over the family business in 2006. While running a successful automotive business in Coushatta, Brian and his family lost their son Jakob from seizures in 2009.

Now a single father raising two children, Brian started reading articles about how cannabis was "curing" seizures in children, which was a breath of life. This led to research on the benefits of the cannabis plant. After much research, Brian wanted to help others so he furthered his efforts by creating Okhish Mound Farm.

 Establishing hemp as a Fiber Crop in rotation throughout the Red River Valley & Mississippi Delta. 

Created in 2020, Okhish Mound worked with LSUS in it's "Careers in Cannabis'' continuing education course and is amongst the first members of the National Hemp Growers Co-op(NHGC). Okhish Mound is the seed coordinator for the NHGC assisting ULM, LSU, R&D and farmers on both sides of the Mississippi Delta. Brian Bolyer and Okhish Mound are at the forefront and driving the new Hemp industry in the South.
