Verbena Hemp Company

Agrivoltaic Hemp • Regenerative Materials • Rural Futures

Verbena Hemp Company (VHC) is launching a 10–20 acre agrivoltaic hemp pilot in Colusa, California, integrating industrial hemp, solar energy, and regenerative water systems to supply carbon-negative building materials for future Verbena Projects communities and regional partners.

Our Mission


Verbena Hemp Company exists to build the material and energy backbone of regenerative communities. As a division of Verbena Projects LLC, we cultivate industrial hemp, integrate agrivoltaic solar arrays, and develop hempcrete and bio-based building products that sequester carbon while supporting local economies and workforce training.

Currently exploring land partnerships and pilot-site hosting opportunities — no land purchase required.

Colusa Pilot Site at a Glance


Pilot Scale

10–20 Acres

Industrial hemp + agrivoltaics on irrigated farmland in Colusa, CA.

Project Focus

Hemp + Solar

Fiber and hurd production under elevated bifacial solar panels.

Launch Goal

Spring 2026

First hemp crop and initial solar installation aimed for Q3 2026.


Living Laboratory for Regenerative Design

The Colusa pilot demonstrates how industrial hemp, clean energy, and water-wise agriculture coexist symbiotically. Elevated solar arrays shade crop rows, improve soil moisture, and power on-site processing and training facilities.

This pilot supports future Verbena Projects developments such as London Drove and Crockettsburg, and provides a regional supply chain for hempcrete and regenerative building materials.

Impact


Carbon-Negative Materials

Industrial hemp absorbs 2–3 tons of CO₂ per acre each season. Hempcrete made from hemp hurd sequesters carbon for the life of the building.

Dual-Use Land

Agrivoltaic systems generate solar energy while maintaining agricultural production, maximizing land productivity and supporting farm revenue.

Workforce & Training

Verbena Hemp creates local jobs in hemp processing, natural building, and agrivoltaic operations—supporting rural economies and technical skill-building.

VHC's outputs feed directly into Verbena Projects' building supply chain, supporting hempcrete construction, solar installations, and natural materials for regenerative communities.
