Requiring minimal water, land, and fertilizers with no pesticides, hemp cultivation is easy with low environmental impact

Hemp cycles massive amounts of carbon back into the soil while sucking polluting metals out of it, making for a greener, healthier, happier planet.

60% of its nutrients are returned to the Earth when dried in the field, promoting minimal waste practices

Vision

While white tees are our signature product, on the horizon are naturally dyed long-sleeve tees, hoodies, hacky sacks, yoga pants, button-ups, socks, caps, chalk bags, and even sheets – you name it. 

​

Because transparency is one of our values, we will tell it to you straight: we must sell this batch before moving onto subsequent products that we are exited to share. We can then make the switch to 100% hemp from the hemp/organic cotton blend. If you like what you see, or have any feedback, please let us know! Then, share with your friends, and support. Love you!
