Temple

Temple Extracts emerged from the Nevada City, California cannabis community in 2013, founded by Michael Bardin and David St. Clair—two seasoned farmers with over 30 years of combined experience in organic agriculture and cannabis cultivation. The company was born from their shared vision to create ultra-pure cannabis oils that honor both the plant and the environment.The founders spent two years perfecting their extraction process before launching the brand, ensuring their products met their uncompromising standards for purity and quality. St. Clair brought expertise from his background in organic farming at UC Santa Cruz with Alan Chadwick, a pioneer of the organic movement, while Bardin contributed 17 years of cannabis growing experience.In 2017, Temple Extracts underwent a major rebrand, working with an Italian design firm to create packaging that better reflected their values of sustainability and quality. Now operating out of the Sacramento region, the company has expanded throughout California while maintaining its commitment to small-batch, artisan production methods. Temple Extracts survived California's strict regulatory reset in 2018, proving their commitment to clean, compliant products.

Temple Extracts operates as a premium cannabis extraction company specializing in sustainably farmed, masterfully processed CO2 concentrates throughout California. The company maintains partnerships with approximately 50 dispensaries across the state, with their distribution network continuously expanding.Their product portfolio focuses exclusively on strain-specific, single-origin extracts crafted in limited-edition small batches. All products feature artisan, boutique, and heritage genetics sourced from their network of organic farmers. Their distillate is made from top-shelf, ecologically farmed flower and refined through a supercritical CO2 extraction process that delivers well-rounded flavor profiles.Temple's signature TC-510 ceramic cartridge utilizes wickless technology with a heating coil embedded 360° within the ceramic core, ensuring uniform heating and perfect vaporization. The company also produces PAX Era pods, having established partnerships with premium vaporizer manufacturers.Temple Extracts follows rigorous testing protocols, screening all source material for pesticides to parts-per-billion levels, even when it impacts revenue. Their sustainable packaging uses recycled paper, soy-based ink, and compostable materials.
