Our Whole Plant Infusion Process is the magic behind the science! People ask us everyday how we make the products we sell like our balm, body oil, tinctures, or capsules and are amazed at how effective they are. The simple answer? Through a Whole Plant Infusion process that starts with the plants grown by local farmers that are used in our lipid infusion process that captures the plant’s natural phytonutrients, terpenes, and full spectrum of cannabinoids. Although our process is all natural and solventless, it is anything but simple. In this article you will learn the science and rigor behind every product that is made at Papa & Barkley and how it goes from farm to shelf. Buckle in, you are in for a ride!
Cannabis Wellness From Farm to Shelf
Papa & Barkley is committed to a whole-plant infusion process for all our products. Our process starts with all-natural, sun-grown cannabis plants grown by U.S. farmers. The whole plant is soaked in our base oils to get the full spectrum of the plant’s biology; we do this without chemicals or solvents because we want to make the cleanest and healthiest products possible. Our formulations are all-natural, completely solventless, and chemical-free. Our techniques are gentle and maintain all of the original terpenes, cannabinoids and phytonutrients present in the cannabis plant.
We choose our partner farms because they share our ideals about clean cannabis. Take an inside look at one of our farm partners, Vesica Ventures, and their commitment to growing clean, organic, and all natural cannabis plants.
Clean Cannabis Starts at the Farm
It all starts at the farm. Without flower, there can be no Papa & Barkley. Without farmers, there can be no flower. But it goes further than just sourcing and purchasing the cannabis that goes into our products. We believe that in order to give our customers the best product available that we must be conscientious about the input materials. This means before we ever endeavor to make that balm, tincture, or capsule that we source only the best cannabis available from the best farmers we can partner with.
Here at Papa & Barkley, we’re on a mission to unlock the power of the cannabis plant to improve people’s lives. Our team is dedicated to reducing our impact on the environment, and we do so by partnering with like-minded farmers who prioritize sustainable and ethical farming practices. We adamantly believe that the most beautiful cannabis flowers are those that are grown with care and respect, by farmers who are cared for and respected.
That is why we have partnered with 150 farms and local farmers throughout the Emerald Triangle (Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity Counties). These partnerships are not only crucial because they provide us with the best cannabis available, but because many of these farmers have been perfecting their cultivation methods for generations. We rely on their expertise and experience to provide us with quality cannabis that is grown through organic and regenerative practices. Supporting local farms and farmers is important to us because their flowers are what make our products so special and effective.
Emerald Queen Farms is a women-owned farm and growing some of the best cannabis flowers in Humboldt County. You can find their cannabis in some of our favorite products like our Releaf Tinctures.
Our commitment and connection to the community of farmers we partner with is not based on profit but rather because we believe it’s important that we both sustainably grow and thrive together. We support local growers who focus on unique strains and sustainable farming practices, and when you purchase a Papa & Barkley product, so do you!
