Sustainable & Ethical Hemp Farming
Hemp has been grown and appreciated in Northern Thailand for over a thousand years. The Mhong people use generations of experience to grow hemp organically. Hemp is a highly sustainable plant that grows quickly, requires minimal water, and needs no pesticides or herbicides. Its deep root system helps prevent soil erosion, absorbs more CO₂ than trees, and is considered a carbon-negative crop.
Sustainable & Ethical Hemp Harvesting
Hemp is harvested traditionally by hand.
The Hmong people use their generations of experience to turn the raw material into suitable yarn. This is a natural and sustainable process which is positive for the environment and the final material.
