Hemp Education: Why Build with Hemp?

Hemp-Lime, AKA (hempcrete), is more than just an eco-friendly building material — it’s a game-changer for building safe, stable, and climate-resilient housing. Naturally insulating, fire-resistant, breathable, and non-toxic, hempcrete maintains comfortable indoor environments that require minimal heating or cooling energy.

Hemp homes are ideal for emergency shelters, tiny homes, and transitional housing.

Thermal Comfort, Naturally
Sustainable & Affordable Longterm

Hempcrete keeps interiors warm at night and cool during the day — without air conditioning or heaters. Its unique thermal mass regulates temperature naturally, making it perfect for off-grid shelters in all seasons.

Hemp-Lime is naturally fire-resistant and non-toxic, offering a deep sense of safety for those who’ve experienced instability or trauma. For people in transitional housing, that sense of protection is both physical and emotionally supportive. Knowing you're safe allows one to rest deeply, feel secure, and begin rebuilding their life from a place of peace and stability.

Safe, Secure, and Fire Resistant

Hempcrete walls “breathe,” reducing moisture buildup and preventing mold and mildew. This creates healthier indoor air — especially important for those with respiratory issues or compromised immune systems

Breathable Mold-Free Living

Made from fast-growing hemp and globally abundant limestone, hemp-lime "hempcrete" is a renewable, low-cost material. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and ideal for building long-lasting shelters that won’t burden residents or organizations with high energy or repair costs.
