Gourmet Hemp Foods - @gourmethempfoods
Hemp pasta? Hemp hot sauce? Hemp yeah. Gourmet Hemp Foods has come up with some delicious options that make it easy to get all the nutrients hemp provides. Founded in Richmond, Virginia by Robert Ujevic in 2015 when he started making hemp pasta, serendipity led Robert to local chef couple Tynella Hall and Reggie Hall Jr. that created Gourmet’s hemp hot sauce and BBQ sauce. They’re currently developing more hemp-based foods everyone can enjoy.
Hemp Wood - @Hempwood_
We love wood. We love trees. We love trees in the ground and not pulped to make things like paper and building materials that can easily be made with hemp, which is a much more sustainable choice since you can get multiple hemp harvests in one year, but it takes 10-20 years to harvest a single tree. Hemp Wood uses hemp to make lumber instead of trees, it’s durable (20% stronger than some wood types), carbon negative, and competitively priced with most lumber. Hemp Wood’s is working hard to use hemp to take on the $60 billion dollar wood industry so we can all enjoy more trees.
Let’s Talk Hemp - @letstalkhemp
If you’re looking to catch up with hemp industry news look no further than Let’s Talk Hemp. They always have the most up-to-date info about all things hemp, and better than that it’s almost always good news about how hemp is helping make the world cleaner and greener. Let’s Talk Hemp is part of the We Are For Better Alternatives group made up of hemp growers and hemp product producers like Colorado Hemp Co., Tree Free Hemp, and the NoCo Hemp Expo.
US Hemp Building Association - @ushempbuildingassociation
If you haven’t heard about all the ways hemp can make building sustainable and better for humans and the environment, then we’re happy to tell you all about the US Hemp Building Association (USHBA). USHBA has been working hard to support the development and adoption of hemp building materials in the US. Hemp is unfortunately still facing heavy stigma that is an obstacle to getting hemp accepted as a certified building material, so USHBA is working to spread the word and educate as many as possible about the sustainable, fire, pest, and mold-resistant ways hemp can improve buildings.
Forty Acre Cooperative - @Fortyacrecoop
Forty Acre Cooperative is the first and only Black and Indigenous-led co-op in the US. Founder and CEO Angela Dawson created the co-op to be a community that supports socially disadvantaged farmers so they can use regenerative farming to make a sustainable living- which is important and necessary because the majority of farmers today don’t make enough to support themselves with just farming, especially if they are part of a marginalized group. 40 Acre does this by reducing the cost barrier and helping with access to agricultural resources to increase equity in farming and land ownership.
Evo Hemp - @evohemp
We keep telling you how great hemp is for clothing, building, and farming, but it’s also a highly versatile, nutritious, and delicious food that you can eat and drink. Hemp is a nutritionally complete food, meaning it has all the nutrients your body needs all in a one-stop shop while also being high in bioavailable protein and omega 3s and 6s. and hemp. Evo Hemp makes it easy to get your daily hemp in with their products made from regeneratively grown hemp (grown by 40 Acre Co-op Farms). Regenerative farming is key for making sure it’s top quality because the way food is grown is key to how nutritious it is.
Stay tuned, as we share more hemp accounts we love in the coming months!
