Stem
Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: STMH CSE: STEM) (the "Company" or "Stem") is
pleased to announce one of the Company's cannabis cultivation brands,
Yerba Buena, has received its third consecutive year of recognition at
the 2019 Cultivation Classic, a science-focused cannabis and CBD
competition. On May 18th, 2019, Yerba Buena took home both first and
second place in the Supplemental Light Type 3 category (CBD dominant).
Additionally, their flagship CBD cultivar, Blue Dragon Desert Frost,
took the gold for the second straight year, with the cultivator’s first
year winner, Corazon, taking runner up in this year's competition.
"It
is an honor to work with these amazing cultivars and help bring them to
those who need and enjoy them in the Oregon market," says Laura Day,
Stem's Director of Operations. "These are exceptional genetics, and we
are humbled by the opportunity to work with them, breed with them, and
offer these plants' gifts to our community."
Since
its inaugural year, Cultivation Classic has been nationally recognized
as one of the most data-centric contests for craft cannabis. The
competition requires Oregon cannabis entries to be produced with a
regenerative approach, using no mineral salts or synthetic additives.
The event, organized by scientists, also focuses on sharing valuable
insights into the way the chemo-typic expression of these plants affects
the expert judges through their rigorous data collection.
Yerba
Buena was one of the first farms in Oregon to receive a recreational
license and is one of the only cannabis farms in the country to hold
both Clean Green™ and Certified Kind responsible agriculture
credentials. Yerba Buena owns a 29-acre property in Hillsboro, Oregon on
which it operates a state-of-the-art LED lighting and 9,000 square foot
indoor cultivation canopy. At full production, the cultivation facility
can produce 4,000 pounds of clean cannabis annually. Yerba Buena has
also developed an advanced, in-house genetics program that has generated
a cannabis seed stock collection of a few hundred strains. The brand
has carved a niche within the CBD arena, recently entering into a
breeding program with East Fork Cultivars, and has earned numerous
industry awards, including Best Cannabis Farm in Portland two years
running and Best CBD strain at the Cultivation Classic. Yerba Buena’s
ability to execute large-scale cultivation operations, while maintaining
a consistent, high-quality product, has garnered much media attention,
most recently with an article in Willamette Week, found here.
