1. Sonoma Hills Farm
Renowned for its premium, pesticide-free craft cannabis, cultivated sustainably under the Californian sun. Their focus is on integrating craft cannabis into Sonoma’s rich agricultural tradition, embracing a farm-to-table philosophy. The farm offers a diverse range of genetics, targeting high-THC flowers and complex cannabinoid and terpene profiles for discerning consumers. A standout strain, Pink Jesus, is a sativa-dominant favorite at Sonoma Hills Farm, noted for its high THC content (29.88%) and rich terpenes (2.45%).

2. The Bohemian Chemist at Sugar Hill Farm:
Honoring traditional cannabis cultivation, The Bohemian Chemist focuses on regenerative agricultural practices. Their lineup at JANE includes rare legacy strains with diverse terpene and cannabinoid profiles.
The Bohemian Chemist's first Spiritus Mundi live Resin Cartridge release features a high THCv rich cultivar with 30% THCv and 44% THC. Known for appetite suppressant properties and potential benefits for diabetes, THCv also offers a unique, energizing experience. This .5g cartridge, contains a potent mix of terpenes like Myrcene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene, adding to its unique effects.
JANE's also the Spiritus Mundi "Big Sur Holy Weed". Another gift from a collector with the well-preserved old school genetics intact. This heirloom has some of the most fascinating lore associated with its origins. It’s difficult to pinpoint the moment of conception for “Big Sur Holy Weed,” but local legend credits a reclusive monk named Perry, who in 1965 planted some seeds from a rare Mexican strain called Purple Zacatecas in the Saint Lucia mountains near Carmel and Big Sur. It was believed that it may have also been crossed to an Afghani skunk called Mazar i Sharif. After growing out these enormous 14’ plants this year with the their loose bud formation and abundant red hairs, everything points to an old school Mexican Sativa. The effects are also remarkable and unique even with a modest THC percentage in the high teens/ low 20s. Total Cannabinoids 27% - THC 24% - CBG 1%.

Why Sungrown?
Sun-grown cannabis significantly reduces energy use compared to indoor cultivation, lowering environmental impact and cost. This method uses organic, locally-sourced materials and natural sunlight, emphasizing environmental sustainability. Sun-grown cannabis is said to yield more per plant, with similar potency to indoor-grown varieties when best practices are applied. It benefits from a rich soil microbiome, enhancing growth and plant health. Organic methods reportedly increase potency and improve the plant's health, flavor, and aroma. Sunlight's full spectrum also aids in developing desirable terpene profiles, enhancing the plant's characteristics.
