Morton Family Legacy: A Tapestry of Tradition and Innovation
Welcome to Mor-Hemp Spirits, where our legacy is as rich and enduring as the land itself. Nestled in the heart of Halifax, Virginia, our story is a testament to the resilience, innovation, and unwavering spirit of the Morton family. Our journey transcends time, rooted in a tradition that dates back to the early 1900s with Sally Carrington and Benjamin “Benny” Morton, whose love and partnership seeded a family legacy that would grow through generations.
The Morton family, originally sharecroppers, turned their aspirations into reality by acquiring land and delving into tobacco farming—a bold step taken by Benny’s parents, Paul and Alice Morton. This legacy of cultivation, stewardship, and connection to the earth laid the groundwork for what would become a pivotal shift in our family’s history.
Fast forward to today, the descendants of William and Mary Ella Morton, including Trina, Deborah, Stephon, William Jr., Tamara, Cheryl, and Angela, have embraced the heritage of their ancestors. With a nod to the past and an eye on the future, we have ventured into a new yet familiar territory: the cultivation of industrial hemp on the very soil that our forebears toiled. This evolution reflects not just a change in crop, but a profound connection to our roots and a commitment to sustainability and innovation.
