Hemp Barn Bedding
ActionsWhen it comes to creating a clean, healthy, and comfortable environment for your animals, the right bedding can make all the difference. Hemp bedding is a natural, sustainable option perfect for keeping your horse’s stall dry and healthy, and your chickens comfortable in their bedding.
Horses thrive in clean, hypoallergenic environments, and hemp provides just that! It's a dust-free option that prevents airborne more than wood and straw, which is especially important for horses with respiratory issues. Hemp bedding offers superior absorbency, reduces odors, and promotes better respiratory health for your animals. Not only is it gentle on your livestock, but it’s also eco-friendly, making it a smart choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact. Hemp grows in 100 days and absorbs over twice as much CO2 compared to trees per acre. It's very insulative, and acts as an excellent compost starter at end of life due it's high carbon and cellulose concentration.
