Cultivation Classic 2018, Regenerative Farm Award / The Cultivation Classic continues to forge the path for a new paradigm for cannabis competitions with an aim to honor farms that cultivate to promote environmental health while growing safe, pure, high quality cannabis.
The goal of the award is to educate people about what regenerative cultivation techniques are and how they can be adopted to help grow the highest quality, pure medicine that truly expresses the terroir of the farm.
Regenerative farming is cultivating in a way that has a healing effect on the environment through developing closed-loop systems. Examples of regenerative practices are proper land management and stewardship, rainwater catchment, groundwater recharge, living soil building, cover cropping, mulching, composting, polyculture, companion planting, and promoting and preserving native biodiversity and wildlife habitat.
Regenerative practices go beyond sustainability in that they heal, improve, and remediate. On the other hand, sustainable practices are ways to reduce negative impacts to the point of treading the waters of “do no harm.” Organic farming on its own is not necessarily regenerative or sustainable. Quite often there are huge environmental impacts associated with organic products and nutrients. Many organic amendments are unsustainably mined and transported. Other organic products for pest control might seem safe and environmentally friendly, but in reality are detrimental to native diversity, especially our incredibly important pollinating insects like bees. It is time for us to take responsibility for our impacts and educate ourselves to the practices that both heal the earth and grow the highest-quality cannabis... ( read more )

Flower Picks, Willamette Week / Call it "the flavor of weather." It's a story told in taste—one of plants surviving against, and harmonizing with, the elements. It's an ineffable quality I've come to appreciate more and more with each sungrown season as uniquely delicious outdoor flower options make their way to dispensary shelves across the state. Sugarwolf is one such weather-kissed weed: The scent is like warm bubblegum, with a sharp nail-polish note. Sweet, peppery and smooth when smoked, it suggests just-spun, watermelon-flavored cotton candy on the exhale.
Sugarwolf is all in your head. A few hits will summon happy feels that other cultivars only match after bowls and joints. It's a big, euphoric stress reliever that gets giggly, stupefying and slow in larger doses, with only minor body notes. Lay a blanket out in a sunny place (it's spring, after all) and roll one of this stuff. You won't regret it... ( read more )
Harvest Issue, Oregon Leaf / Pilot Farm is a gorgeous, tier 2 recreational cannabis farm situated on the southern slope of Mount Ashland. The scenery is breathtaking; the first steps onto the property are met with a spectacular view of the valley just before the Oregon-California border.
Terraced rows of plants are situated in what the farm calls 'Machu Picchu,' the smaller, top portion of the canopy. We first ventured to the lower terrace which involved—I kid you not— a steep 10-minute quad ride down the treacherous, rocky slope. The upper and lower canopies are separated by roughly a mile and a half, but are located on the same address, making Pilot Farm one of the first and only OLCC licensed producers to have canopies separated a few miles apart.
The lower canopy had a north and a south plot filled with a large variety of Mountain Girl crosses. That strain does particularly well in the high elevation climate. The Pilot Farm rarely allows outside visitors, which helps keep the cannabis pest and disease free.
Each strain is grown in native soil with little to no additives or amendments, an effort to be completely sustainable... ( read more — pg 38-41)

Dope, September 2017 / Sprawled across 80 acres along a mountainside, at an elevation of 4800 feet, Pilot Farm lies within an unpredictable ecosystem that would send many cannabis cultivators running to their indoor grow. For brothers Matthew and Christopher Dolinar, however, this challenge is part of the appeal. Their biodynamic Mt. Ashland farm is at the heart of their mission to put sustainable agriculture first—and to change the way people think about sun-grown cannabis... ( read more )
