Hemp Horse Bedding | Curtsey of EcoFiber

Okay, so you are wondering if it is advantageous to switch over to Hemp Animal Bedding instead of pine, straw or wood pellets for this need. Perhaps, you have started to wonder if there was a better solution. Maybe you wonder if there is something that causes less environmental impact, less allergic reactions, dust or is more cost effective.

If any of these things are of interest to you, read on.

Here are my top ten reasons to switch over to Hemp Bedding:

It lasts longer than most bedding. Hemp Bedding absorbs 4 times its weight! That means you save money in the long run because you do not need to switch out the bedding as often. You save time in both changing out the material and ordering your next shipment. Not to mention it is 2 times more absorbent then, straw, pine or wood materials.
Hemp bedding creates less dust than other bedding materials! It actually produces minimal dust, an advantage for those working with the animals and for the health of the animal. People report having to sweep less in their barns and older horses are not having respiratory issues any longer after converting to hemp!
Hemp bedding is softer so you can assure your animals get a full sleep cycle. This is important for the health and longevity and well-being of the animal.
It’s biodegradable and chemical free! This is important for anyone working around the bedding that might be sensitive to toxic chemicals and supports the health of the animals and the planet.
It is excellent at trapping the unwanted smells of Ammonia and the like which is super important for not only those around it but it means the hemp bedding will last you longer.
Decomposes faster than pine, sawdust or wood shavings and is actually less acidic to the earth than the other bedding materials. After the bedding is used for its first purpose some report using it over their garden beds because it actually decomposes quick enough.
Hemp bedding is more of a renewable resource than wood products and this is important for the longevity of our planet and our well-being as a whole.
It has a higher thermal rating than most bedding. Works very well to keep animals warm in the winter and some report the hemp bedding stays dryer during storms and rainy times.
On Hemp Bedding urine spots do not spread like pine or straw bedding.
User’s report they enjoy the look and feel better as it breaks up nicely to cover more surface area. This is good to know because it requires less effort and aesthetically is pleasing to the eye. Well, these are my top 10 reasons to switch over to hemp bedding for all your animal needs.

Soft Hemp Fleece Diapers for Your Sweet Baby's Bum!

1/27/2015

Comments

It was 15 years ago that she started making Hemp, Organic Cotton, Fleece Diapers for her own children. She really enjoyed making them and started the business because she loved working with the Hemp Fleece! It's very absorbent, which was a big plus for her choice of materials for making diapers. Theresa now continues to run this sweet little business with the help of her daughters!

If you are wanting the softest, healthiest, reusable cloth diapers, then you will be thoroughly impressed with these! This family puts so much love into their work and are very good at what they do.

Get your baby some hemp diapers and you will be not only preserving our environment by putting a lot less crap (no pun intended) into the landfills, but you will also be keeping toxic chemicals off of your baby's body. Modern diapers are synthetic, bleached and can have a long term negative effect on your baby's health. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it absorbs anything we put on it. So love you baby today and get some hemp diapers from Theresa's eBay storefront!

How is Hemp Milk Made? | Raw Hemp Milk Recipe

1/5/2015

Comments

You can certainly run out to the healthfood store and some mainstream grocery stores and get yourself some premade hemp milk from brands such as, Tempt and Manitoba Harvest or you can take the do it yourself approach.

Hemp seeds, as you may know, are said to be one of the highest plant sources of protein, including all 10 essential amino acids, and the omega fatty acids 3, 6 & 9 that our bodies thrive on for brain health and cellular integrity!

There are many versions of hemp milk and we encourage you to experiment with your own recipe.

There are four main ingredients and you can choose which 4 you want to integrate depending on your preference.

Once you have the four base ingredients you can customize your hemp milk by adding other flavors or changing the ratios to suit your liking.

MAIN INGREDIENTS FOR HEMP MILK:

Water: 1 Quart of the Best Water you can get (spring water, distilled water, purified water, etc.) or you can go with coconut water (see below for more details).
Hemp Seeds: 1/2 heaping cup of raw hulled hemp seeds (raw and organic, although the conventional seeds are also a very clean and non-toxic source)
Salt: 1-2 teaspoons of the best salt you can get (Celtic, Himalayan, Hawaiian, etc)
Sweetener - depending on your body and preferences you can choose whole food sweeteners such as dates, or you can go with a low glycemic non sugar based sweetener such as Stevia Leaf (or extracts made from the plant).

If you are using dates, 2-3 dates should be fine. Another great way to sweeten your hemp milk is with coconut water! Use this in place of the water!

INSTRUCTIONS

Best prepared with a high powered blender such as a VitaMix or BlendTec Blender
Add all ingredients into the blender and blend for 30 seconds.
If you want you can also strain the small particulates for a smoother drink.
If you want a really creamy and thick milk you can add tocotrienols or a little bit of coconut meat to thicken it up!

Chill and Enjoy!
