Claybourne Co.

Founded in 2017 by three childhood friends from Riverside - Nick Ortega (CEO), Jonathan Griffith (VP Marketing), and Brent Barnes (VP Breeding/Cultivation) - Claybourne Co. emerged from their shared vision to create premium cannabis products in California's competitive market. What started as a self-funded venture with just $3 million quickly gained traction, leading to a major milestone in 2021 when they secured $17.5 million in Series A funding led by Green Acre Capital.The company's rapid ascent has been remarkable - growing from startup to California's 3rd largest flower brand by retail sales within just four years. Their success prompted the construction of a state-of-the-art 45,000 square foot cultivation facility in Perris, California, expanding their growing capacity to 60,000-70,000 square feet. From their Inland Empire roots, these three friends have built what they proudly call "the only legal cannabis company from Riverside," establishing a mini-empire that represents Southern California cannabis culture at its finest.

Claybourne Co. operates as one of California's top-selling licensed cannabis breeders, cultivators, and brands, boasting the deepest flower product portfolio in the state across strain availability, package sizes, and price points. Based in Perris, California, their indoor cultivation facility produces premium cannabis using proprietary techniques and environmentally friendly practices, with all products tested by multiple third-party labs for safety and quality.Their signature Gold Cuts line represents ultra-premium selections from their in-house breeding program, with only 1% of trialed plants making the cut. These hand-trimmed, high-potency flowers showcase loud noses, big flavors, and AAA aesthetics.
