Frequently Asked Questions

Industrial Hemp Fiber Supply for Manufacturers

What grades of industrial hemp fiber does Gaia Growth Solutions supply?

We supply two grades from the hemp stalk. Bast fiber is the outer long-strand fraction — high tensile strength, low lignin content, used in textiles, composites, and nonwoven. Hurd (Shiv) is the woody inner core — a direct hardwood pulp substitute for tissue, paper, napkins, and packaging. Both grades ship at bulk metric-ton volumes from US-based processing facilities.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk hemp fiber?

The minimum order is 5 metric tons. Contact us with your production requirements and we will provide a quote based on your volume, fiber grade, and delivery location.

Is Gaia Growth Solutions hemp fiber subject to import tariffs?

No. Our hemp fiber is American-grown and American-processed. There are no import tariffs on domestic supply. Every shipment includes farm origin documentation so your procurement team has full chain-of-custody records.

What documentation comes with each hemp fiber shipment?

Every delivery includes a certificate of analysis, farm origin documentation, moisture content data, fiber length distribution per batch, a THC compliance certificate confirming sub-0.3% THC, a product specification sheet, receipts, and a freight manifest with chain-of-custody reference numbers.

How do we start evaluating hemp fiber as a raw material input?

Email jbrooks@gaiagrowthsolutions.com with your current input material specification and target volume. We will identify the closest hemp fiber grade match and send a technical data sheet.

What are the payment terms for new hemp fiber clients?

New clients pay upfront. Net-30 terms are extended after one year of supply history with Gaia Growth Solutions. We build payment terms on track record, not promises.

How long does hemp fiber delivery take?

Lead times depend on order volume and grade. Contact us with your quantity requirements and we will give you an accurate delivery window for your specific order.

What is Gaia Growth Solutions’ 1,000,000,000 lb supply commitment?

We have committed to delivering 1,000,000,000 lbs of industrial hemp fiber to North American manufacturers by January 1, 2030. This is backed by contracted farm acreage and dedicated decortication and cottonization capacity — not a projection. Manufacturers who begin qualification now lock in supply before the market tightens in late 2026 and 2027.

The Hemp Home System

What is The Hemp Home?

The Hemp Home is a 12-month home conversion system that replaces recurring-cost household products with durable hemp bast and hurd alternatives — and proves the savings with your own numbers. It includes a four-phase method (Gauge, Audit, Implement, Assess), room-by-room worksheets, verification protocols, and a Savings Ledger. Digital PDF, instant download.

How much money will I save?

It depends on your household — and the system shows you before you spend. Generally expected results at full adoption: $500–$900/year for smaller households and apartments; $900–$1,400 for families of four without animals; $1,300–$2,200 for families with pets, a flock, or a bottled-water habit; $1,900–$3,000+ for households with large-animal bedding. Year 1 is an investment year, typically netting $350–$650. The system computes your household’s own number on the first worksheet — before you spend a dollar.

What is the $2,076 Line?

The $2,076 Line is the annual savings benchmark The Hemp Home is engineered around. The reference household’s model runs right through it, with every input printed and a check line under each table. By the Month-12 reconciliation you’ll know — to the dollar — which side of the Line your home is on.

What’s the difference between hemp bast and hemp hurd?

Bast is the long outer fiber of the hemp stalk, used for sheets, towels, and textiles. Hurd (also called shiv) is the woody inner core, used for animal bedding, cat litter, garden mulch, and hempcrete. The Hemp Home covers both streams — one plant, two supply closets.

Isn’t this information free online?

The facts are — and the system says so itself. What isn’t free anywhere: the named four-phase method, the scored home audit, the checkable savings model, the bedding and wash-test protocols with log sheets, the Savings Ledger, and the $2,076 Line benchmark. You’re buying instruments and verification, not information.

Does it work for renters and apartments?

Yes. Everything except the capital-projects worksheet applies: textiles, water testing and filtration, cloth systems, laundry habits, litter, balcony gardening. Smaller households typically land in the $500–$900/year band, and the system states your honest ceiling on the first worksheet, before you spend anything.

What format is it, and are updates included?

A 33-page PDF, typeset for print or screen, delivered instantly after purchase. Version 1.1 — which adds Gaia Growth Solutions’ published wash-test and bedding-test data to the model’s declared placeholders — is a free update for every purchaser of this edition.

Is this a physical product?

No. The Hemp Home System is a digital download delivered instantly after checkout — no shipping, no wait time.
