A note from Oregon CBD co-owner Seth Crawford It is such a humbling experience to watch a thousand farms across the US popping our seeds in the spring. Each tiny vessel contains the potential to carry out a tremendous task. In less than 14...

Every fall and spring we send off soil samples from across our fields for analysis at our local land grant university – a service most offer at little cost. The simple process allows us to determine what minerals our field is lacking or are in abun...
Lockdowns are a last resort in public health emergencies; it's the farming equivalent of plowing under your field to prevent further catastrophe. These measures are critical when little is known about the virulence, transmissibility, prevalence, and ...
People have heard the hype. Daylight neutral (autoflower) plants are the next big thing in cannabis. Their life cycle is short, allowing for several harvests a year, and they can grow and flower under as many or as few hours of light as they are o...
Sowing hemp seeds directly into the field is theoretically the best way to go. Plants never experience damaged tap roots or transplant shock. Growth is never slowed by roots binding in their containers, and the risk of root born issues later on is si...
It's a bit bittersweet to announce amidst a global pandemic, but after 9 months of seed production and a frenetic month of package preparation by our crack shipping team, initial seed orders departed from our facility today. A tremendous thanks to ou...
Storing cannabis seeds is fairly simple and can keep them viable for decades, if done properly. We’ve tested batches of seed produced years prior and found germination rates still at upwards of 95%. Hemp seeds by nature require dormancy time, and w...
Just a basic photo as the sun sets on the first era of "new hemp" in the US. Words cannot express how thankful we are to the farmers who have supported us over the past 5 years. Your trust has allowed us to expand our capabilities for discovery beyon...
Long before our seeds reach public hands they are trialed on our 50-acre R&D plot (pictured above) for field readiness. In 2019, our genetics were also trialed alongside other reputable varieties by North Carolina State University's Hemp Ext...
Keeping our CBD seed and CBG seed production facilities clean and contamination free is a continuous job. Between each run we sterilize our greenhouses with a Dramm fogger. It micronizes particles so small that it requires extremely small amounts of ...
The point of US intellectual property protection is to provide priority and protection to those who innovate or discover novelty in exchange for vesting those discoveries in the public sphere after a period of time--the information is published short...
We began producing industrial hemp seed in shipping containers 5 years ago, and have continued to develop and hone in on our facilities and our processes each year since. We learned early on that seed production cannot be done outdoors. This no...
Congratulations to the growers who cleaned up at The Hemp University's Golden Grow competition in Southern Oregon, arguably the epicenter of craft sungrown CBD rich hemp. There were plenty of great entries, and we were thrilled to see Singh...
