Meet The Farmers

Sun+Earth certifies that cannabis brands are holistically, responsibly, and re-generatively grown for the well-being of all people, farmers, and the planet. We set the standard above and beyond organic. We’d like to introduce you to our certified farms who oppose any practice harmful to growers or Mother Earth.

Benefits of Permaculture in Cannabis Cultivation

Environmental Stewardship: 
--
By integrating these practices into cannabis cultivation, growers contribute to environmental conservation, soil regeneration, and the preservation of biodiversity.

Improved Resilience:
--
Permaculture techniques enhance the resilience of cannabis plants by creating a more balanced and self-sustaining ecosystem. This can lead to improved plant health and reduced susceptibility to pests.

Sustainable Crop Production:
--
Permaculture principles promote sustainable crop production methods that minimize the use of synthetic inputs and rely on natural processes. This can result in higher quality cannabis while reducing environmental impact. Incorporating these practices into cannabis growing mediums brings numerous benefits to both the environment and crop production. By embracing regenerative design, biodiversity, and resource conservation, growers can cultivate cannabis in a sustainable and harmonious manner. Implementing these principles not only promotes ecological balance but also contributes to the production of high-quality, environmentally conscious cannabis.

Applying Permaculture to Organic Cannabis Growing


Regenerative Practices
—
Incorporating organic farming practices, such as composting, cover cropping, and natural pest control methods, promotes soil health and reduces the need for synthetic inputs. These practices align with permaculture's goal of nurturing the soil ecosystem.

NO-Till Gardening
--
No-till gardening minimizes soil disturbance and promotes soil structure, moisture retention, and carbon sequestration. By avoiding tilling, beneficial microorganisms and soil life can thrive, contributing to a healthier growing medium. Essentially your not fucking with the underground Mycorrhizal network.




Polyculture and Companions
--
Planting a diverse range of crops and companion plants in cannabis cultivation can improve pest management, enhance soil fertility, and increase overall biodiversity. Certain companion plants can attract beneficial insects or repel pests, creating a more balanced ecosystem.




Water Management Strategies
---
Implementing water catchment systems, rainwater harvesting, and drip irrigation can reduce water consumption and increase water use efficiency. By optimizing water management, growers can minimize water waste and promote sustainable water practices.

Soil Regeneration
---
Building and maintaining healthy soil through techniques like cover cropping, composting, and vermiculture can improve soil fertility, structure, and nutrient availability. Healthy soils support vigorous plant growth and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.
