Moon Valley Cannabis began in 2015 when founder Eli Buffalo transitioned from building custom motorcycles to cultivating medicinal cannabis in Sonoma County. Buffalo has grown cannabis in Sonoma County since 2005 and founded Moon Valley Cannabis in 2015 as a medicinal marijuana producer. When California voted to legalize recreational cannabis in 2016, Buffalo pivoted toward recreational cannabis and opened his own shop in 2018.Completed in 2021, the Moon Valley Cannabis Sonoma County Microbusiness Facility is in Santa Rosa. The brand has gained significant recognition for its innovative cultivation methods, earning multiple prestigious awards. Buffalo and Moon Valley Cannabis has won first in most eco-friendly indoor facility at the Emerald Cup in 2021, third place for hash at the Emerald Cup in 2023, and first place for its "Hawaiian Snowcone" strain at the statewide Transbay Challenge in Los Angeles on Oct. 21.Their journey from medical to recreational cannabis reflects California's evolving landscape, with Moon Valley establishing itself as a leader in sustainable cultivation practices that honor both the plant and the environment.
Moon Valley Cannabis is dedicated to proving that sustainable cultivation methods produce superior cannabis. We got started under Prop 215, helping to provide patients with a safe reiable product that was cultivated in a manner that is beneficial for the patient as well as the environment. Their mission centers on creating clean, chemical-free cannabis through living soil cultivation that benefits both consumers and the planet.They believe in the power of Korean natural farming techniques and regenerative practices to unlock cannabis's full potential. "The way that we're growing is different," Buffalo said. "Nobody can produce the plant the same way that we can." Moon Valley is committed to educating the cannabis community about sustainable growing methods while consistently delivering award-winning products.Their core values include environmental stewardship, product purity, and honoring the plant's natural expression through cultivation methods that work with nature rather than against it.
At Calm Effect, we're fascinated by Moon Valley Cannabis's revolutionary approach to cultivation. Whereas other growers will replace soil each season or add fertilizer to recharge the soil, Buffalo relies on the use of "living" soil. Worms, roly-polies, spiders and other insects inhabit the soil and create a self-sustaining mini-ecosystem for the plants to thrive. This isn't just marketing – their results speak volumes with consistent awards and recognition.Opening up jars of Moon Valley Cannabis is almost sickening.
