California has been leading the MJ revolution since 1996 when the Golden State became the first to legalize MJ for medical purposes. Now, California leads the country again in crop production and is home to many of the world's leading cultivators.
Topping the list of California's innovative and environmentally friendly brands is Raw Garden, a Clean Green Certified grower using state of the art cryogenic freezing techniques to bring its consumers some of the freshest, purest products available today.
Raw Garden Products: All-Natural and Additive Free
At Raw Garden, it's all about the whole plant and nothing but the whole plant. Raw Garden manages all stages of growing and producing its line of patented Live Resin products with sustainable, natural processes designed to preserve all the compounds and terpenes at peak potency.
Raw Garden's all-natural array of Live Resin and Live Sauce products starts with a research team of scientists dedicated to eco-conscious breeding practices. This process yields the strains used in Raw Garden's resins, waxes, and other products. Their product lines are made exclusively from the farm's seeds, which are grown using Clean Green Certified practices for sustainable, organic agriculture.
Clean Green Certification is Organic & Chemical Free
MJ isn't a federally recognized agricultural crop; as such, it's not subject to the USDA standards for "organic" produce. But Clean Green Certification fills that gap. Clean Green Certified is the leading global certifier for MJ growers and manufacturers, and the organization establishes best practices for sustainable, pesticide-free, organic cultivation and processing without artificial ingredients of any kind.
Raw Garden has been producing Clean Green Certified oils and concentrates since 2015. They use zero pesticides on growing plants and no artificial additives in processing and producing concentrates. RG is committed to total transparency, and lab reports for each strain and product are available for anyone to view on the company website, and ingredients are clearly labeled on every product to show that it contains nothing artificial.
Innovative Harvesting Practices Preserves Freshness
Raw Garden brings you the freshest essence of the plant with a unique cryogenic freezing technique that captures the whole plant while green and alive. In that way, all its terpenes and compounds are at peak freshness, with no chance to dry out or loss of any flavor.
Raw Garden's process produces 100 percent pure oils and terpenes with nothing artificial added, and these concentrates form the basis for all Raw Garden products. Consumers can be sure that they're purchasing high-quality products free of harmful additives and supporting environmentally sustainable farming practices at the same time.
Raw Garden Specializes in Refined Live Resin
Raw Garden stands apart from other brands in the industry with the creation of refined live resin. RG created a new product through an innovative process that begins with live resin, and then they remove impurities like waxes, fats, and tannins. The result is the Raw Garden Refined Live Resin™. All RG products come from single source fresh frozen flowers with no artificial ingredients or only native terpenes are added.
