Key features

EXTREMELY ABSORBENT

Hemp absorbs as much as 5x more than shavings, pellets, and straw. 

LITTLE TO NO DUST

Horses & people have less exposure to allergy triggering particles. Less dust makes for a healthier, cleaner barn with a major reduction in flies and insects. 

ODOR REDUCING

The pores in our hemp bedding provide airflow, trapping unwanted odors caused by rot and mildew within. This keeps the bedding dry and odorless. 

COMFORT

Hemp bedding is incredibly soft. Insulation properties can help to maintain comfortable temperatures and keep animals dry. 

DISPOSAL

Less is pulled out, so there is less to dispose of. Smaller manure piles, less waste, and makes excellent compost. 

LOWER LABOR COST

Cleaning of stalls is less frequent than with shavings or straw. Urine clumps at the bottom and is easily scooped out once per week. Time cleaning stalls is reduced by 25% or more. 

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY & SUSTAINABLE

Hemp is 100% biodegradable. As the highest yielding fiber crop, an acre of hemp yields 4x more pulp than an acre of trees, and can be replanted annually. Growing hemp helps to clean the air, removes toxins from the soil, and protects against erosion. No pesticides are needed and hemp requires very little water. Using hemp bedding has a positive impact on our environment.
