Organic Hemp Hurd for Hempcrete – Midwest USA Grown, 10 lb & 28 lb

Hemp Hurd for Hempcrete – Organic, Clean & Sustainably Grown in the Midwest USA

If you're building with hempcrete, the quality of your hurd makes all the difference. This organic hemp hurd is sourced from Midwest USA farms — grown without chemicals or pesticides — and processed to be dust-free, fiber-free, and ready to mix. Whether you're a seasoned builder, a DIY enthusiast, or exploring natural construction for the first time, this is a material you can trust.

✅ Features

• 🌿 100% Organic Midwest Hemp: Grown in Illinois without pesticides or synthetic chemicals — clean from the ground up.
• 🧹 Dust-Free & Fiber-Free: Carefully processed hurd with no debris, so your mix stays consistent and workable.
• 📐 ½ Inch Average Particle Size: The ideal size for hempcrete mixing — maximises bonding and structural integrity.
• 🔥 2-Hour Fire Resistance Rating: Hemp shives smolder but do not ignite, releasing minimal heat and smoke — independently tested.
• 💧 Natural Moisture Management: Absorbs and releases moisture without rot, mold, or fungal growth.
• 🔇 Thermal & Sound Insulation: Creates walls that stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and noticeably quieter year-round.
• 🏗️ Self-Healing & Plaster-Ready: Takes lime plaster easily and naturally repairs minor surface cracks over time.
• 🌍 Carbon Negative Material: Hemp sequesters carbon as it grows, making this one of the most environmentally responsible building choices available.
• 📦 Available in 10 lb (51 litre) or 28 lb (142 litre) Packs: Bulk supersack orders also available — two 400 lb supersacks per pallet (forklift or pallet jack required).

💚 Benefits

• 🏠 Healthier Living Spaces: No toxic outgassing, no synthetic fibres, no harsh chemicals — just a breathable, natural wall system that's safe for your whole family.
• 🌱 A Greener Build: Replace conventional concrete with a material that actively reduces your carbon footprint rather than adding to it.
• 🔧 Simple to Mix at Home: The basic hempcrete ratio is 1 part hurd, 1.5 parts lime, and 2 parts water — straightforward enough for DIY projects of any scale.
• 💰 Lower Energy Bills Over Time: Superior thermal mass means less heating and cooling — a practical long-term payoff for eco-conscious homeowners.
• 🐾 Versatile Beyond Construction: Also works well as garden mulch (suppresses weeds, retains moisture) and animal bedding (naturally traps ammonia and odour).

📐 How to Use Hemp Hurd for Hempcrete

1. Measure out 1 part hemp hurd by volume.
2. Add 1.5 parts hydraulic lime binder.
3. Mix in 2 parts water gradually until the hurd is evenly coated.
4. Pack or pour into formwork, tamping lightly as you go.
5. Allow to cure — hempcrete dries quickly and continues to harden over time as the lime carbonates.

Also suitable for use as garden mulch or animal bedding — simply apply as needed.
