LightSky Farms began in 2009 when Shannon Walters, a wine industry veteran from Traverse City, Michigan, decided to apply his winemaking expertise to cannabis cultivation. As a classically-trained chef and award-winning winemaker who managed over 100 acres of grapes, Walters brought a sommelier's understanding of terpene preservation to the cannabis industry.Originally founded in 2013 in Michigan's legacy caregiver market, the company has evolved into one of the state's most celebrated cannabis brands. The brand was later acquired by Total Health Collective (THC), a family-owned cannabis company based in Burton, Michigan, with Walters remaining as a consultant to oversee all production aspects.Over the years, LightSky Farms has accumulated more than 50 awards, including over 36 High Times Cannabis Cup trophies and medals. Notable recent achievements include multiple wins at the 2023 High Times Cannabis Cup Michigan, where their Titty Sprinkles strain earned third place overall while taking home both "Gassiest" and "Best Terps" awards. The brand has successfully transitioned from Michigan's medical market into the regulated adult-use space while maintaining its reputation for exceptional quality and craft production methods.
LightSky Farms' core mission centers on preserving original source terpenes while maintaining genetic connectivity in every plant they cultivate. The company is committed to using 100% original source material with zero additives, ensuring customers receive exactly what they pay for and nothing they don't.Their philosophy revolves around "spoon-feeding" each plant with precise inputs—nutrients, water, and light—to help it reach its full genetic potential. This meticulous approach extends from hand-watering mother plants with custom nutrient formulas to using unique bio-hydroponic systems that blend high-purity water and minerals with organic bio-stimulants.LightSky Farms prioritizes education, working to teach both budtenders and consumers about the importance of high-quality flower and solventless extracts over cheap alternatives. Their commitment extends to environmental responsibility through sustainable packaging and cultivation practices that prioritize quality over quantity in Michigan's competitive cannabis market.
