IND HEMP

IND HEMP is a Fort Benton, Montana hemp processor making food ingredients, hemp seed oil, hemp fiber, and animal-care materials from American-grown industrial hemp. The company was founded in 2018 by the Elliott family, with Ken Elliott, Julie Elliott, and Morgan Elliott named in company media as founders of the business.

The independence case is well documented. IND HEMP's homepage describes the company as family-owned and mission-driven. Its B Corp profile repeats that language and places the company in food-products manufacturing. A company announcement about B Corp certification names Ken Elliott as co-founder and president and Morgan Tweet as CEO and co-founder. The company's video series also introduces Ken, Julie, and Morgan Elliott as founders. We found no corporate parent, acquisition record, or match in the exclusion list.

IND HEMP is different from a typical consumer pantry brand. Much of its work is upstream: contracting family farms, cleaning and dehulling hemp grain, pressing hemp seed oil, and supplying manufacturers. That still belongs here because ingredient transparency starts before the retail label. If a brand says it uses American-grown hemp hearts or hemp seed oil, suppliers like IND HEMP are part of the clean-food infrastructure that makes that claim verifiable.

The food line centers on hulled hemp seed and ultra-pure hemp seed oil processed in an SQF-certified facility in Montana. The company also works in pet and animal care, fiber, garden, erosion-control, and biomaterials markets. Certifications listed across its site and B Corp profile include B Corp, USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Kosher, Made in Montana, and SQF food-safety certification.

Buyers should know this is primarily a wholesale and ingredient supplier, not a polished direct-to-consumer snack company. That is a feature, not a flaw. IND HEMP gives shoppers and makers a traceable domestic alternative to anonymous commodity hemp.

For a category that often blurs food, supplements, textiles, and CBD, the boring infrastructure matters. Fort Benton, named founders, farm contracts, and audited certifications are stronger signals than wellness copy.
