Hi reader,
It looks like the sunshine has settled into most parts of Australia. I hope you have your veggie patches planted!
It’s a real pleasure to welcome Moorhouse Constructions as our newest Premium Member! Led by builder Micheal Lancaster, Moorhouse Constructions features in the freshly released Narara Ecovillage Hemp Building Podcast episode. I was recently invited to visit to the Ecovillage and I interviewed 4 proud hemp house owners, each with a story that deserves to be shared.
But here’s the thing... turning these recorded conversations into Hempcrete in Australia episodes takes hours of tech savvy editing, polishing, producing and then releasing. To produce and release a series of 4 interviews like this would easily be $10,000+. To get the work done I’m crowdfunding just $1,000. Just enough to cover a week’s rent while I dedicate myself to editing and bringing these episodes to life so we can all learn from others.
If you’ve found value in the stories and resources I’ve been putting out, please consider pitching in. Small contributions of $10 help, but $200 from a few folks would get us there. And it only takes a few clicks to get started.

Speaking of videos on the HBD YouTube channel there are probably a few videos you are yet to digest so head there for a binge.
The article on Understanding Hemp Masonry with the roof detail by Envirotecture, an HBD sponsor, has resonated with people on Facebook who flocked to the article on the Directory!
Senate update: There has now been 52 submissions to the senate enquiry which is a fantastic effort by all involved.
Thanks to all our subscriber members who take a moment to open our emails and click through to a few articles. Your involvement really helps us continue our work.

Hemp masonry is made from hemp hurd, lime, water, and sometimes sand. It’s breathable, thermally efficient, and locks away carbon while offering a renewable, low-impact option for construction.

When you set out to build your own home, there are thousands of decisions to make. And for some, one of the most transformative is choosing natural materials. At the Narrara Eco Village on the NSW Central Coast, a group of pioneering owner-builders have shown what’s possible when you combine community, creativity, and hempcrete.
