Hemp Store is a community-centred operation made up of real people with a real passion for Hemp. We’ve expanded and contracted over the years, and are currently run by a small, dedicated team. Each one of our team members are treasure troves of knowledge on Hemp, and bring their own special relationship with plant

Alex

Al is the lion behind the whole show. Hemp Store was Alex’s vision born from years of loving and investing in Hemp as a sustainable solution for our planet. He’s pretty humble about it, but the rest of us are sure he’d have an answer to any question you have about Hemp. He’s a hard man to catch, juggling work, parenting three incredible kids, and keeping a firm foot on the frontlines of Hemp expansion, but when you do it’s a pleasure to bask in his calm and soak up some of his knowledge.

Lesley

Rising up from District 6, Capetown, from the foot of Lions Head and Devils Peak we welcome our newest team member, Lesley! Lesley started with us mid 2023 and every day is a blast. She’s a front-of-house extraordinaire with a wealth of knowledge on natural and alternative living. You’ll find Lesley and her wicked sense of humour in-store throughout the week.

Chelsea

Our amazing manager Chelsea is at the heart of the Woy Woy store. She takes care of everything, especially our customers. If you’ve been in touch with us, you’ve likely been in touch with Chelsea, and her kind heart that we’re blessed to know every day. Chels started working at Hemp Store late 2019, and is also a parent, massage therapist, artist and avid traveller

Dawa

The one behind a lot of what you see on this website. Dawa started working at Hemp Store late 2019 and discovered her knack for writing copy and all things website on the job. She also makes a guest appearance in store every now and then and has become a bit of an expert on our suppliers and their products. Dawa is also a parent, musician and community worker.

Luna

Our Weekend Warrior Luna started out at the Hemp Store in 2020, and after her voyage at sea we’re pleased to welcome her back! Luna is an environmental activist and has a deep knowledge of plants and ecology, including hemp and its relationship with the human body. It’s great to have her skills, experience and warm energy back in store.
