Earlier this year, the LA Times published a story about the level of pesticide contamination found in Californian-grown cannabis that sent shockwaves through the state. The California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) faced criticism for its slow enforcement. Delayed recalls allowed potentially contaminated cannabis products to remain on store shelves, exposing consumers to unsafe products.
Cannabis lovers shouldn’t have to worry about whether their weed contains harmful contaminants. That’s why we cultivate using strict zero-pesticide methods.
We believe that transparent cannabis cultivation is key to building trust with our community. With increasing demand for cannabis products that are not only effective but also safe and sustainable, transparency lets customers know that the products they are purchasing are safe, clean and consistent.
What Does Transparent Cannabis Cultivation Mean?
Transparency in cannabis cultivation means being open and honest about the methods used to grow and process the plant. This includes providing clear information about farming practices, ingredient sourcing and quality control measures.
Why Transparency Matters in Cannabis Cultivation
Knowing the story behind the product is just as important as the product itself. We provide full access to information about our zero-pesticide cultivation techniques so you know that our products are free from harmful contaminants.
Builds Trust
You want to know where their cannabis comes from, who grows it, and how it’s produced. We take pride in sharing every step of our cultivation process so that our customers can feel confident in the cannabis they purchase.
Ensures Product Quality and Safety
Transparency lets you know exactly what’s not in the cannabis you’re consuming. We take great care to ensure that our products are grown without harmful chemicals, so all our premium products contain zero pesticides.
We also go above and beyond to ensure that our cannabis is tested rigorously for potency and contaminants. Our products undergo third-party testing, essential for verifying the absence of harmful substances. Transparency in this regard allows consumers to have peace of mind knowing that they are consuming cannabis that is not only effective but also safe.
Support Sustainable Practices
Sustainability is an essential aspect of our cultivation philosophy. Transparency in our sustainable farming practices helps us communicate our steps to reduce our environmental footprint. Every decision we make aims to support our planet’s health, from our zero-pesticide farming methods to our water conservation strategies.
By sharing information about our sustainable practices, we encourage others in the industry to adopt similar methods, contributing to the overall well-being of the cannabis industry and the environment. We believe that sustainable practices should be the norm, not the exception, and our transparency in this area helps set the standard for eco-friendly cannabis cultivation.
Builds a Connection with the Community
Cannabis cultivation is not just about the plants we grow; it’s about the people we serve. At Autumn Brands, we value our connection with our local community in Santa Barbara and beyond.
Being transparent also means sharing our story with others—whether it’s about our family-owned farming legacy or how we continue to innovate with our sustainable farming techniques. We are proud of our work, and transparency allows us to engage with our customers on a deeper level.

Third-Party Testing
We ensure that every product we sell is third-party tested for potency and contaminants. This rigorous testing process guarantees that our cannabis is free from harmful chemicals, heavy metals, or microbial impurities. All test results are made available to our consumers so they can verify the quality of the products they’re purchasing.

We’re proud of our sustainable farming practices. We utilize water conservation techniques, renewable energy and environmentally friendly packaging to reduce our ecological impact.
