The Difference Between Greenhouse-Grown and Naturally-Grown Hemp: Why We Choose the Natural Approach

by Andrew Rigg on January 29, 2025

Hemp has become a cornerstone of many industries, from wellness and textiles to sustainable building materials. With its popularity surging, the methods of hemp cultivation have diversified. Two of the most common approaches to growing hemp are greenhouse-grown and naturally-grown methods. Both have their merits, but for our operation, naturally-grown hemp aligns with our commitment to quality, sustainability, and nature-first principles.

In this blog, we’ll explore the key differences between greenhouse-grown and naturally-grown hemp, and why we proudly choose the natural approach.

1. Growing Conditions

Greenhouse-grown hemp is cultivated in controlled environments. Greenhouses allow farmers to manipulate temperature, humidity, and light cycles to optimise growth and protect crops from external factors like pests and unpredictable weather. This method often relies on artificial lighting and climate control systems, which require significant energy and resources.

On the other hand, naturally-grown hemp is cultivated outdoors, under the sun, rain, and soil that nature provides. This approach relies on natural weather patterns, seasonal changes, and organic farming practices to grow robust plants. While this method may expose crops to the challenges of the environment, it also allows the plant to develop resilience and thrive as nature intended.

2. Environmental Impact

One of the most significant differences between greenhouse and naturally-grown hemp lies in their environmental footprint. Greenhouses, especially high-tech facilities, often consume vast amounts of energy to maintain ideal growing conditions. From artificial lighting to heating and cooling systems, these inputs can lead to a substantial carbon footprint.

In contrast, naturally-grown hemp has a much smaller environmental impact. By utilising natural sunlight, rainwater, and sustainable farming practices, this method is inherently energy-efficient. Additionally, naturally-grown hemp often incorporates regenerative agricultural practices, such as crop rotation and soil health management, which benefit the broader ecosystem.

3. Quality of the Hemp

The growing environment plays a significant role in the quality of hemp. Greenhouse-grown hemp can achieve consistent physical characteristics due to the controlled environment. However, this consistency often comes at the expense of natural complexity. Without exposure to the dynamic elements of nature, the plant may lack the rich terpene profiles and resilience that naturally-grown hemp develops.

Naturally-grown hemp is often celebrated for its robust flavour, aroma, and potency. Growing outdoors allows the plant to develop a more diverse cannabinoid and terpene profile, which enhances the overall quality of the final product. The natural stressors, such as wind and fluctuating temperatures, encourage the plant to produce compounds that can make it more aromatic and effective.

4. Connection to Nature

There’s an intangible yet vital connection to the earth that comes with naturally-grown hemp. When crops are nurtured by the sun and soil, they embody the purity and vitality of the environment. For many consumers and producers alike, this connection to nature represents a commitment to authenticity and sustainability.

Greenhouse cultivation, while innovative, can feel detached from this natural cycle. The reliance on technology and artificial conditions may leave some questioning whether the process aligns with the organic, nature-based ethos often associated with hemp products.

Why We Choose Naturally-Grown Hemp

At our core, we believe in letting nature do what it does best. By choosing naturally-grown hemp, we honour the earth's rhythms and embrace sustainable practices. This approach not only reduces our environmental impact but also allows us to deliver a product that is rich in quality, authenticity, and integrity.

We are proud to grow hemp that is sun-kissed, rain-nourished, and rooted in healthy soil. This natural approach ensures that our hemp is as pure and effective as possible, reflecting our commitment to the environment and our customers.

Final Thoughts

The choice between greenhouse-grown and naturally-grown hemp ultimately comes down to priorities. For those seeking consistency and scalability, greenhouses may be the preferred method. However, if sustainability, natural quality, and a connection to the earth are what you value, naturally-grown hemp is the clear choice.

We are passionate about delivering the best hemp while treading lightly on the planet. By embracing the natural approach, we ensure our products reflect the harmony and vitality of the environment they come from. After all, nature knows best.
