WHY HEMP??
We believe, as do many people, that hemp could change the world. How can a natural 'weed' like plant change our lives? Hemp can be used in variety of everyday items. Hemp fabric is a superior fabric with mold and mildew resistance, it's longer lasting, and wears "in" instead of "out". Hemp's long natural fibers can be used for superior paper and even partical board to build houses. It's oil can be used in health care products (lotions, soaps, etc) and in fuels for heat, energy, and in cars. Hemp seed oil contains a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids, excellent nutrition. "Hemp is a renewable resource that is good for the environment. Its strong roots help control erosion, and it needs very little water to grow. When cultivating the fibers, practically no chemicals are needed since the material naturally resists pests. And the natural look of hemp is so great that no bleaching is required".
