WELCOME

Sleeping Giant Hemp Company LLC began in 2015 at the CT Folk Fest and Green Expo. We will be greatly reducing our festival adventure after this year's Green Expo. What a wonderful eight years! We like to think we opened people's eyes to the value of hemp, even before it was legal to grow it in this country.

We will be continuing our hemp-fiber journey online, with a blog and, to come, an online store.

We started out thinking about sustainability, and mindfulness when purchasing clothing. Upcycling, thrifting, the concept of fast fashion, relative merits of different fibers, social justice, and environmental justice are just some of the concepts we have discussed with folks stopping by our booth. We have learned about GOTS certification and Fair Trade, along with just how toxic it is to produce the textiles we take for granted.

We have gotten to know many people in the hemp fiber industry, and our blog will certainly include their progress and commitment to bringing hemp-fiber products into our lives.

Send us an e-mail with your comments, suggestions, and, if you have purchased from us, your reviews. We will keep you updated on our progress.

Thank you, all, for your support over the past eight years!
