This humble pet shop in Humboldt, California is stepping up their game for their customers and most importantly for the furry friends they serve!

Humboldt Pet Supply is offering four options for their Romanian Hemp Rope Tug Toy - for all sized canines.

If you haven't already got your furry friend one of these awesome tug-a-rope chew toys then visit HumboldtPetSupply.com today! They will be so happy you did!

We couldn't be more excited about our latest addition to the Hempducation Station here at HempAware! It's an extraordinary healthy hemp chair!

We realize that more and more people are catching on to the reality that sitting is unhealthier than smoking (according to James Levine's work, author of Get Up!)

However, if you are going to sit, this is possibly one of the BEST ways to keep your posture poised and head straight; not to mention you'll look cooler!

Not only are these chairs ergonomic they are super cool looking. The textiles that the Portland, Oregon based Venn Designers have chosen to work with offer a wide variety of style and personalization.

There's the zen look, the Native American look, the chic look, the simpleton look, the posh look, among others; and you can even choose your own fabric for the Venn Design team to craft your custom Venn Chair.

Of course, we ordered a custom hemp chair which we are so stoked about!
​
In addition to the hemp linen Venn Design is also offering a Hemp Denim version that looks really clean. The hemp fibers offer the benefits of durability, strength and longevity.

The Venn Chair that we ordered features some soft hemp suede fabric - and we LOVE it!

Even though hemp isn't used for the entire product line, Tyler said he's really looking forward to offering his customers a wider variety of hemp textiles to choose from.

They are currently offering many natural fabrics such as wool, leather, cotton and more!

Because we made good friends with the Venn Design team, we get to offer you 10% off the entire store! Just use: HEMPAWARE for your coupon code.

These chairs are very well made, with quality materials, by folks who really know what they are doing. These chairs have the potential to make you feel healthier, happier and more balanced - and are certainly worth the investment!

Of course we encourage you to get a hemp one, but we won't cry if you don't.

Leave us your comments and thoughts about these awesome chairs. Which one do you like the best? 

, In this brief post we want to give a special thank you and shout out to Seeds To Sew - an awesome non-profit organization making this world a better place by assisting young girls and women from disadvantaged communities to become entrepreneurs and be self sufficient.

They are teaching them job skills, educating them about business, and their special touch is teaching these women how to make their own products, such as school uniforms for the children in their community.

Before they are confident enough to make these new products, the women learn to sew by making Enkiteng bags, for which Seeds to Sew pays them upfront and sells them in US as eco-friendly gift-wrapping bags.

They are currently working with women in two subsistence farming villages in rural Kenya. One is a Maasai village in Transmara District and the other is a Kikuyu area in Central District.

We feel honored and so thankful to see Seeds to Sew utilizing hemp webbing for their latest product creation!

It's called the Kitenge knapsack. Technically, what they are using is called hemp edging.

This allows the napsacks to remain light-weight, yet strong and durable.

​It's these types of projects that fill our heart with joy and remind us why we do what we do.

We are here to transform consciousness and serve the world with the power, benefits and value of industrial hemp!

If you'd like to help support these beautiful and creative women to get their products out to the world, please share this post!

Another thing you can do is, if you or anyone you know has a boutique, online store or shop where they can feature these bags it will help spread the positive vibes!

If you know or meet anyone running a small shop like this one or this one, and you think they might be interested in buying some of the knapsacks for resale, contact Seeds to Sew.

Wholesale price is $9.90/ea and they are offered for $18/ea retail.

They are really nicely made and each is signed by the woman who made it, whose picture and story you can see on the Seeds to Sew website HERE.

It is really exciting for us to see these women liking their newfound skill of sewing and learning how to make new things... making a good living for themselves and able to provide a better life for their children. Really priceless!
