The Peat CrisisIs Already Here

Peat moss has been the backbone of professional horticulture for decades — but the industry can no longer ignore its costs. Peat bogs take thousands of years to form and are being harvested faster than they can regenerate.

Canada — currently the primary supplier of peat for U.S. growers — is weighing legislation to prohibit or restrict peat harvesting. Many European nations have already moved to ban peat sales to garden consumers. The largest nurseries in states like Connecticut alone use over 17,500 cubic yards of peat per year. The clock is ticking.

US Hemp Coir is not just the sustainable choice — it's the strategic one.

  • American Agriculture Supported

    Every purchase of US Hemp Coir supports domestic hemp farmers and processors, keeping money in the American agricultural economy instead of importing from Canadian bogs.

  • Peat Bog Destruction Stopped

    Peat bogs are ancient carbon sinks and unique ecosystems. Harvesting them releases millennia of stored carbon. Every pound of US Hemp Coir used is a pound of peat bog left intact.

  • Carbon Footprint Reduced

    Peat harvesting releases massive amounts of CO₂. Hemp is an annual crop that sequesters carbon while growing, making our coir a genuinely climate-positive input.

  • Hemp Industry Waste Diverted

    Hemp hurd is an undervalued byproduct of fiber and textile processing. By using it as a growing substrate, US Hemp Coir diverts a massive waste stream while creating value for American hemp farmers.
