Leander, TX
You do not fix a plant later. You get the soil right first.
The land is in Leander, about twenty minutes from the shop. It is not open to the public, so here is what happens there — and why it matters to a gummy.
The method
Grown the way the tomatoes were.
Before there was hemp there were San Marzano tomatoes, from Italian seed, in soil he built himself, for a restaurant in Georgetown that could tell the difference. The method carried straight over — and today it feeds the extracts our kitchen turns into gummies, oils and balm.

Six things we do differently
None of it is complicated. It is just slower.
Living soil
Built rather than bought, and fed rather than replaced. A soil with its own biology holds nutrition in reserve, which means the plant is not dependent on whatever gets poured on it that week.
Full-spectrum lighting
The whole spectrum rather than the narrow slice that produces the fastest yield. It costs more in power and returns it in the finished plant.
Grown for the kitchen
What comes off this ground is headed for extraction — the full-spectrum extracts and isolates our gummies, oils and balm are built on. The plant is grown for what ends up in the bottle.
Tested before it is used
Nothing from the field goes into a recipe until an independent lab has looked at it. The certificate follows the batch all the way to the shelf.
Small runs
Room-sized, not warehouse-sized, so one person can walk the whole crop and actually know it.
Handled by hand
Small enough runs that people, not machines, do the handling. What reaches the kitchen is what actually grew.
