Why build with it?
Hemp has been used in construction for millennium. It's fire proof, pest proof, mold proof, vapor permeable, and actually pulls carbon from the air.
​
Structurally, hemp strengthens the wood framing of a house enabling it to withstand weather better than conventional stick framing and insulation.
Founder & Leader
My name is Eric Milburn and I started Healthy Hemp Homes to change the way we build our homes. Having worked in construction, I saw the wasteful practices of the industry. Therefore, I set out to make homes sustainable and strong using hemp.
Homes for generations
I dream of a world in which my great grandchildren may live and play in the hemp house that I build today. Hemp homes are known to stand strong for upwards of 500 years. In Japan, there are hemp homes built in the middle ages that still exist today!

Expert Carpentry
Framing a home is the single most important part of the building process. We take tremendous pride in framing our homes to be sturdy and strong.
Cast-In-Place Hemp
Using the famous "cast-in-place" method, we surround the studs with hemp eliminating all thermal bridging and making each home energy efficient.
A Home Built for Generations
A standard wall of 10 inches provides an R-30 value making it incredibly insulated. Not to mention, the wall cures stronger overtime making it more formidable as the years pass.
