Hemp Growing & Bio-Construction Partner
From seed to structure. Biofiber Industries grows industrial hemp, processes it into hempcrete blocks, insulation batts, foundation slabs, and bio-finishing materials — supplying every interior and structural hemp system across both SLC flagship projects.
Their Role
Biofiber Industries is the SLC's bio-construction partner — the company that closes the loop between the land and the buildings that stand on it. By growing industrial hemp adjacent to the SLC site and processing it into a full suite of construction materials, Biofiber Industries makes it possible to build structures that are not just sustainable, but actively regenerative.
Hempcrete is one of the only building materials that continues to sequester carbon after installation — the lime binder slowly mineralizes the hemp hurd over decades, turning the walls themselves into a carbon sink. Every hempcrete block placed on the SLC site is a long-term investment in the health of the land, the air, and the community.
All interior insulation work across both the Friends of the Family Tiny Barn House and the CE Hub S.T.R.E.A.M. Center will be completed exclusively with Biofiber hemp materials — from the foundation slab to the ceiling cavity, creating a fully bio-integrated building envelope.

Product Lines & Scope
Every product line is sourced from the same hemp grow operation and processed into a distinct construction system — creating a vertically integrated bio-construction supply chain that keeps value within the SLC ecosystem.
Biofiber Industries grows, harvests, and processes industrial hemp into hempcrete blocks — a carbon-negative composite of hemp hurd (shiv), lime binder, and water. These blocks form the primary structural and insulating wall system for both SLC flagship projects.
All interior walls, ceilings, and floor cavities across both the Friends of the Family Tiny Barn House and the CE Hub shipping containers will be insulated with Biofiber hemp insulation batts — replacing fiberglass and foam with a fully biodegradable, non-toxic alternative.
Biofiber Industries supplies and installs hemp-lime foundation slabs as an alternative to conventional concrete where site conditions allow — reducing the embodied carbon of the foundation system and integrating seamlessly with the hempcrete wall system above.
All interior finishing work across both projects — wall plaster, floor underlayment, and acoustic panels — will use hemp-based materials processed by Biofiber Industries, creating a fully bio-integrated building envelope from foundation to ceiling.
Cultivation Scope
Biofiber Industries manages the full agricultural and processing pipeline — from planting and cultivation through harvesting, retting, drying, and material production. Their grow operation is designed to be documented by S.O.S as part of the SLC documentary series, turning the hemp supply chain itself into an educational asset.
The Green Build Party community construction events will include hands-on hempcrete mixing and block-laying demonstrations, giving community members direct experience with the material and creating a replicable model for bio-construction workforce development.
Why Hempcrete
Unlike conventional concrete or fiberglass insulation, hempcrete improves with age. The lime binder continues to mineralize the hemp hurd for decades after installation — meaning the SLC buildings will be sequestering more carbon in 20 years than they do on opening day.
