Zero-Pesticide Sungrown Cannabis
The Autumn Brands family farm along the coast of Santa Barbara County uses sustainable farming techniques, natural sunlight and zero pesticide cultivation. This means setting an industry standard with 100% no-spray cannabis farming and a commitment to purity, rigorous testing and hand trimming. This takes more time, effort, and attention, but it’s worth it to keep our flower pure. Autumn Brands is a woman and family-owned business that cares for the consumer, the community and the environment.
The Santa Barbara climate is perfect for year-round growing for optimal plant health. Tucked in between the ocean and the mountains, our family farm produces some of the purest flower in the United States. Our genetics are carefully selected to ensure strength, viability, and consistency in our coastal and balanced ecosystem.
Why grow in a greenhouse? It’s essentially the perfect balance between indoor and outdoor growing. Growing cannabis in a greenhouse is significantly more cost effective and sustainably focused than indoor grows, but still provides all the same environmental control and reliability benefits. Like outdoor grows, greenhouses can harness the free power of sunlight, but we are able to harvest every week ensuring we always have fresh flower all year round.
