Artisan Roots currently operates cultivation facilities in three states: California, Oregon, and Colorado, with products available in over 150 dispensaries across these regions. Their product lineup centers around premium flower, available in both traditional jar packaging and innovative nitrogen-sealed pouches that preserve freshness.Their portfolio includes three distinct collections: Heritage (classic strains perfected through selective breeding), Exploration (innovative crosses and rare genetics), and Wellness (balanced CBD/THC varieties for therapeutic use). Each product undergoes rigorous testing beyond state requirements, with comprehensive terpene analysis and certificates of analysis available via QR codes on every package.What truly distinguishes Artisan Roots is their soil-building program. They create living soil ecosystems specific to each strain's needs, resulting in cannabis with complex terpene expressions and clean, distinctive effects. Their cultivation process combines traditional agricultural wisdom with precise scientific monitoring, using hand-trimming and slow, cold-curing techniques to preserve the plant's natural properties.
Artisan Roots began in 2017 when master cultivator Elena Martinez and agricultural scientist James Chen joined forces with a shared vision: to create cannabis that honors traditional cultivation methods while embracing modern science. Starting with a single greenhouse in Humboldt County, California, they committed to small-batch cultivation that prioritizes plant health and terpene preservation above all else.By 2019, their signature strains had gained recognition in the California market, earning three Cannabis Cup awards for their exceptional terpene profiles. Their expansion has been deliberate and measured, adding facilities in Oregon (2020) and Colorado (2022) while maintaining their commitment to handcrafted quality.Unlike many brands that rapidly scaled production, Artisan Roots has intentionally limited their growth to ensure every plant receives individualized attention. Their journey represents a perfect balance between artisanal craftsmanship and scientific innovation, creating products that consistently deliver exceptional experiences.
