The Hemp Inc. mill in Spring Hope, North Carolina is the largest industrial hemp processing facility in the United States. It is on North Carolina Highway 581.

The mill, a 70,000-square-foot (6,500 m) former sweet potato processing plant, contains a decorticator to separate hemp hurds from external fibers, and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction for CBD recovery.

Fiber products will become textiles and composites used in the automobile industry.
