“A journey that began with chemistry
met the wisdom of the soil.”

Our Story

The pace of modern life and changing consumption habits call on us to rethink our relationship
with nature. YELBİS aims to develop sustainable solutions for people, nature, and the future by combining the natural potential of hemp with a scientific approach and controlled production processes.

With its beneficial potential, nutritional profile, environmental advantages, and low-waste production cycle, hemp is more than just an ingredient; it is one of the rare plants capable of making a holistic contribution to well-being, the environment, and responsible production. As one of the oldest cultivated plants in human history, hemp has been misunderstood and marginalized in the recent past. Yet when reassessed through the lens of modern science, it offers multifaceted potential for both human well-being and the planet.

My technical background, grounded in my chemistry education at Middle East Technical University (METU), combined with the production experience I gained in the livestock, food, and wine industries, taught me this: trust and quality are built not only into the final product, but throughout the entire process behind it. Realizing that production is not only about ingredients, but also carries a responsibility toward resources, led me back to where production begins: the soil.

Today, as an entrepreneur, chemist, farmer, and mother, I bring my knowledge and effort together with soil and seed, following a holistic path centered on careful and responsible production.

YELBİS is the natural outcome of this approach, combining scientific discipline with respect for nature while placing quality, trust, and sustainability at its core.

The health challenges I experienced in the past, together with what I learned through production processes, clearly showed me that this system needed to be reconsidered by focusing not only on outcomes, but also on their roots. For me, genuine healing required an approach that went beyond suppressing symptoms—one shaped by the accumulated knowledge of soil, plants, and time. This awareness led me to hemp, an ancient plant that has been used for thousands of years as medicine, food, fiber, and building material, and that can interact closely with the human endocannabinoid system.
