Claim to fame
Why we work with them.
Craig and Melanie have spent more than 25 years tending one Benbow ridge. Their DEM Pure certified regenerative farm and family homestead feed cannabis soil with legume cover crops and compost from their own food garden.
Six medals at the 2025 California State Fair cannabis awards included golds for Mule Fuel’s myrcene and pinene and for Oaksterdam OG. Solventless makers turn to the farm’s harvests, with Moroccan Peaches hash among their washes.
Terroir.
At roughly 1,800 feet, this south-facing ridge sits above the valley fog. Long sun, cool nights and native soil give Alpenglow its growing ground.
