Why We Cultivate Native Plants on the East Fork Ranch
East Fork Cultivars and other farms are working on a special cultivation project in collaboration with The Understory Initiative and support from the US Fish & Wildlife Service: growing plants that are native to Oregon’s coastal meadows to produce seeds for use in habitat restoration projects in these sensitive habitats.
Weed Like Change to Support Regenerative Organic Craft Cannabis
Learn more about the Weed Like Change campaign led by a coalition of Sun+Earth Certified farms and brands, partner dispensaries, allied businesses, and nonprofits.
More than ever it is critical to support regenerative organic craft farmers who are under extreme threat of extinction.
Meet East Fork's New and Improved Pre-roll Packaging
East Fork is pleased to be launching our much-improved pre-roll packaging, with no more petroleum-based plastic tubes!
We’ve developed two reusable selections to offer you different options:
Our classic single pre-rolls in 100% plant-based hemp plastic tubes
Our new 7-pack of pre-rolls in child-resistant steel tins
The Urgent Necessity of Sungrown Cannabis
There are compelling and urgent reasons for informed consumers to choose sungrown cannabis. These include:
experiencing the full natural expression of the plant
a 99% lighter carbon footprint (or even carbon-negative impact) toward climate change
the enrichment of soil and ecosystems through regenerative farming
2021 Cultivation Updates from the Farm
Our Cultivation Team is happily finishing up plant out, the team’s busiest season of the year. This year we will be trialing a few different no-till methods, with the goal of continually improving our relationship with the farm’s ecology.
Entering our seventh cultivation season, our team is beyond excited at the promise of this year's cultivar selection. Here’s a sneak peak at what we’re currently cultivating for your future delight.

East Fork Cultivars was honored to win Gold again this year at the 2020 Cultivation Classic.
Our Breeding Philosophy with Tia Keene
At East Fork, we are committed to offering our customers the highest quality cannabis flower. As breeders, we aim to create resinous, terpenoid- and cannabinoid-rich cultivars. We want to continuously breed plants for traits like pest resistance, novel chemical profiles (or chemotypes), and plant morphology in order to explore the potential of the cannabis plant and maximize its ability to provide relief for a wide variety of people. Simultaneously, we want to create a productive crop that is as easy to cultivate and process as possible.
East Fork Co-Hosts Sun+Earth Oregon Launch Event
On February 3, 2020, East Fork Cultivars co-hosted an informational event celebrating the expansion of Sun+Earth Certified into Oregon.
We are now Sun+Earth Certified
Sun+Earth Certified is a truly rigorous process that means something. A mix between elements of both B-Corp Certification and USDA Organic, Sun+Earth certifies cannabis that is grown under the sun, in the soil, without chemicals, by fairly-paid farmers. That last part is a big one. Ethics in cannabis, like in all things, is difficult to verify. We believe Sun+Earth verifies it.
Sustainable Cultivation Efforts and Progressive Business Practices
The goal of every member of the EFC crew is to grow superior CBD-rich cannabis in a way that is sustainable to not only the 34-acres that are part of the farm, but also the larger environment and community.
