Our METHODOLOGIES
Everything we grow, harvest, and produce is organically grown, ecologically responsible, and genetically sound.
It’s a long journey from a simple seed to high-end, refined organic products. Every aspect of our process is mindfully considered and handled with care. We’re proud to be fully vertically integrated—from the seeds we grow to products that hit the retail shelves.
GENETICS
Our growers have worked diligently to breed the industry’s most superior strains. We have tested (and retested) the consistency of the plant size, color, and COAs for all of our varieties and guarantee the results. Each strain we work with was chosen because of its genetic ability to flourish in Western New York, which in turn provides our customers with the finest end products available on the market. We focus on continually improving our top strains and growing them for our products.
CULTIVATION
Our plants are conscientiously cultivated by master growers for our high-quality products.
-
We follow organic practices and use only the finest natural supplements to ensure strong growth and superior quality for all our crops. Our plants are lovingly cultivated, and we all share a passion for growing the highest quality plants. Our cultivars have decades of experience which allows us to constantly improve our processes and product quality.
-
Our farm is located on-campus in the beautiful and renowned farmlands of the Finger Lakes. Our organic farming and feeding techniques benefit both our plants and the rich soils in which they’re growing. We use only the purist fertilizers and microbes, under the watchful eye of our experienced farmers, to grow the most genetically sound plants possible. Our fields are hand-picked at harvest, where we select only the ripest plants each day. Because of this, we’re able to provide incredible quality.
-
Our land consists of rich soil free of heavy metals, chemicals, and harmful insecticides. Our locations share a climate that mixes sun and rain in near-perfect harmony. Our temperatures rarely get into the 90s throughout the summer and stay above freezing late into the fall, allowing the plants to mature over a nice long season.
LABORATORIES
Our 19,000 SF, cGMP Certified extraction facility is built on 30 acres of natural and protected wetlands in the Bristol Hills of New York. Inside our laboratory walls, the finest cannabis products are produced, bottled, and packaged. Our C1D2 Certified Extraction lab is capable of processing thousands of pounds of dry biomass into potent, silky, full-spectrum crude each day. The system is fast, it’s clean, and it’s scalable. All crude is fully winterized and decarboxylated, ready to work with as is. It can also be further processed into a full-spectrum distillate or ultra-pure isolate, depending on intended final use.
In addition to our extraction lab, our facility has rooms for everything - from product development and creation to bottling, packaging, and labeling. The crude from our extraction lab is brought into our post-processing lab, where we make exceptionally pure distillate, which is then used to create our high-quality product lines. Our certified facility and our meticulous standards of operation ensure the highest quality of product available.
