Hemp is an amazing plant. On top of giving us incredible cannabinoids like CBD, it can be used to make many useful items such as rope and even a
concrete alternative. One of our favorite uses is hemp clothing.
Why?
Because if the hemp is farmed responsibly it has a low environmental impact and makes durable clothes that stand up to truly living life to its fullest.
Patagonia is one of the most respected manufacturer’s of clothing in the world. Yvon Chouinard founded the company in 1970 after he bought some shirts on a climbing expedition in Scotland and sold them to climbers back in the US.
The company grew and Patagonia became the standard for rugged mountain climbing clothing, and over the years has branched out to clothing for everyday life as well.
Their line of hemp clothing includes something for everyone. Our favorites include this
adorable dress for little girls, this
canvas ranch jacket, and these
women’s shorts.

We hope you’ll choose to purchase some great clothing from these companies. Hemp can do so much for the planet and is an incredibly simple plant. It requires little water other than rain, can be grown with zero pesticides, is non-GMO, and is phyto-remediative, meaning it helps clean the soil of toxins and will prevent soil erosion. It’s the plant that keeps on giving.
