About UsWe are West Virginia based Hempsters with a passion for ALL things Hemp.
We understand the value and importance of re-introducing Industrial Hemp as an agricultural commodity crop here in the United States, as well as supporting worldwide hemp cultivation which can actively contribute to making the world more pollution free, reduce the amount of pesticides used, and help humanity wean itself away from destructive fossil fuel industries. |
Our Mission |
We actively work together with other local businesses and creative artists in supporting our local business economy which includes a renewed interest in Agriculture, Organic Food, Farmers markets and sustainable consumer goods...Which happens to include Hemp products.
We recognize that we have responsibility to be a part of the solution to the many environmental challenges that we all face. We believe in the triple bottom line: People, planet, and profit. Profit is not the motive, but the means to the end. We see the road to sustainable manufacturing as a long journey with multiple opportunities to accomplish. We will not deviate from our commitment to the environment, our employees, our customers, and our families. We are diligent in the pursuit of a harmonious business model for others to follow. |
Our History |
Winkin' Sun Hemp started out as an inspiration which dates back to the 1970's - 80's.
As a child we experienced the value and benefit of Hemp made clothing and a limited offering of hemp products courtesy of our parents diligent consideration for the planet at the time....Mom was an "Hemp Early adopter." ...Fast forward 35 years and In 2011 we made a conscious decision to move to a more sustainable lifestyle by changing our consumer purchasing habits towards more eco-logical products including Food, Clothing etc. We're a family run, earth friendly, "sustainable products" business based in Wheeling, West Virginia. We sell a variety of Hemp products and organic cotton clothing & accessories, eco-friendly paper products, recycled/upcycled goods, hand-crafted gifts, Food, Health and Beauty products...and more. While we strive to follow the "Made In America" mantra...Most hemp products are very difficult to obtain here in the US because of draconian laws based on fallacies about the true benefits of Agricultural Industrial Hemp. We source Hemp products as best we can within North America and at the same time support Hemp economies from other countries. "Hemp Will Heal the World." |
