HEMP INFO

# Hemp is one of the premier environmental alternatives to cotton or linen. It is popular among environmentalists and eco-shoppers.
# Industrial hemp is grown for the strong fiber that comes from the stalk of the plant. The fiber can be spun, woven and dyed into a strong and beautiful fabric.

# The hemp plant is an annual crop that is grown from seed similar to corn or soybeans.
