Bulk Hemp Yarn
Uttarakhand has seen mass migration and most of the villages are either uninhabited or full of old men, women and children as male members have moved to cities in search of jobs. Though these families have small farms they don’t do farming as animals destroys their crops. 80% of the farmers have left farming in the hills of Uttarakhand. Hemp Foundation is one of the most trusted group of Hemp yarn wholesale.
We want to change this problem in an opportunity for these people. Though logistics is very hard, due to unmaintained mountain roads traveling to the nearest market or city is a nightmare. Practically no industry exists in these mountains. We travelled to dozens of remote mountains, trained these great women in their traditional craft of weaving, sewing, accessory making and provide them jobs and above all an identity.
We have created a value chain and involved hundreds of women in farming (hemp farming is less labour intensive) , retting of hemp plants, degumming, carding, sewing, handlooms etc. We believe that women are like the roots of the tress, if you empower a woman she will empower an entire community around her. We train them in marketing, quality control etc. and give them platform to sell their products at fair price.
Every inch of fabric or clothing on these pages comes from beautiful remote Himalayan villages of Uttarakhand, India made by love and care by these hard working women. These women from mountains are already very beautiful in appearance and at heart but now they are making the world a better place by promoting the most sustainable plant on earth.With every purchase on this website, you spread love and lessen your carbon footprint.

THE INIMITABLE HIMALAYAN TERRAIN
The Himalayan terrain has no match anywhere in the world. Hemp is a natural vegetation of that terrain – winking at you from here and there on the hillsides and the fringes of cultivated fields. When natural vegetation gets tended by experienced farmers, amazingly healthy plants yield bast fibers unmatched in their quality. When you process the yarn from those bast fibers using minimally invasive technology, hemp yarns of the best possible quality is what you get.
That is where our hemp grows. The natural minerals of the soil nourish our plants. Fallen foliage on the ground and the dung of grazing animals supply all the extra nourishment they need. The clean air helps our plants to breathe healthy.
100% ORGANIC FARMING
Uttarakhand has outlawed the use of fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals. All farming in the state is fully organic. Rudraprayag is a district in this state where most of our hemp grows organically. Local farmers rich with insights on organic farming accumulated through generations ensure the health of our plants.
We also have organic certification from a center accredited by the Agriculture and Processed Food Export Development Authority (APEDA), Government of India.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Hemp Foundation has a social mission: end poverty and hunger in Rudraprayag. We enable the farming families of the district to link their products to the global market where demand for hemp and products derived from it is on a continual rise.
These families struggled to survive when hemp and its products got banned in India. The Himalayan terrain where they live is suitable for just a few crops with hemp being one of them. The state got permission to grow it, but where to sell?
Seasonal migration in search of income became the rule. The age-old texture of these farming communities was breaking down. Family life suffered due to the long absence of its male members. Poverty and starvation did not end even then.
Then, Hemp Foundation happened. A social enterprise determined to enable farming families of Rudraprayag to earn a decent living. We respect the local wisdom of organic farming and introduce new technology only where it makes sense. We connect their harvest and the products derived from it with the global market. These families are smiling now, and that is our greatest reward.
TOWARDS AN EQUITABLE FUTURE
We dream of an equitable and inclusive future where women and men, girls and boys, have equal opportunities to develop their full potential as human individuals. We make sure that women from Rudraprayag’s farming families are equal partners in the change that we are trying to bring to the district.
Involved in various income-earning initiatives of Hemp Foundation, the women of Rudraprayag are finding a voice. They have started participating in decision-making processes. The social rubric of Rudraprayag is still changing – to evolve as a more gender-just social space.
