ABOUT HEMPHQ
Your Industrial Hemp Headquarters
HempHQ brings together three things the industrial hemp economy has been missing in one place: research, regulatory guidance and a marketplace for real materials. We focus on hemp grown for fiber, hurd, grain, food, building materials, equipment and services. We don’t cover the CBD or cannabinoid consumer market.
What you’ll find here
- A reviewed B2B marketplace. Buyers can submit sourcing requests and suppliers can apply to the founding network across six categories. We personally review every submission. No supplier profile is published without review and the business’s permission.
- 50-state licensing guides. For every state: the licensing authority, application route, published fees, requirements and the official sources behind them.
- Federal updates and explainers. USDA, Federal Register and NASS updates for industrial hemp, plus plain-English guides to major changes such as the 2026 federal hemp definition.
- County directory. County government contacts and local resources to help growers ask the right local questions.
How we research regulations
Our regulatory guides are built from official primary sources: state agriculture departments, USDA, the Federal Register and enacted law. Every guide records the source, the date we reviewed it, the jurisdiction and what the source actually supports. When something is unknown or unconfirmed, we say so instead of guessing. We never fill in missing fees, deadlines or rules. Review dates are not legal effective dates, and our guides are not legal advice. Always confirm requirements with your regulator.
Advertising and independence
HempHQ offers advertising and sponsorships to industrial hemp businesses. Sponsored placements are labeled, and advertisers don’t influence our regulatory guides.
