Hemp & Linen
Hemp and linen are strong and durable fibers used in clothing and textiles for thousands of years. Hemp is made from the industrial hemp plant, and linen from the flax plant. Both are fast growing and naturally pest resistant.
Organic hemp is grown without chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified seeds. These methods help support biodiversity, healthy ecosystems and improve soil quality, which positively impacts the environment.
Organic hemp production systems aim to replenish and maintain soil fertility while expanding biologically diverse agriculture. This is done by prohibiting synthetic, toxic, and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and genetically engineered seed. The process of transitioning from conventional hemp to organic takes about three years, or until the land qualifies to be certified organic under national or international organic standards. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers meet strict national or regional regulations, addressing methods and materials allowed in organic production.
