Oregon CBD had more of a pumpkin road this year. Our crop grew along an approximately half-mile stretch of Hwy 99W, fronting a chunk of our community garden. We harvested a couple dozen of them for our annual (socially distanced this year) Harvest Pa...
Fasciation is a fascinating genetic mutation in cannabis often mistaken for polyploidy. Watch as Seth Crawford walks through our R&D field of CBDV rich hemp cultivars and explains the phenomenon in a mutant filled crop.
This has been the hardest week in memory for Oregon. Keep helping your loved ones, friends, and community in the midst of this devastation—recovery is going to be a long haul and many are in desperate need. Our team and farm are all cur...
