Cultivation Classic in 2019

Cultivation Classic was an Oregon cannabis competition and public education event focused on craft cultivation, science, and agricultural practices.

The 2019 event concluded with awards recognizing farms and cultivars across several categories.

Willamette Week’s published results identify Lane Creek Hemp Co. as the recipient of that year’s Regenerative Cannabis Farm Award.

What the Regenerative Cannabis Farm Award Recognized

The organization behind the Regenerative Cannabis Farm Award describes the program as recognizing farms that incorporate environmental health, land stewardship, living soil, water awareness, biodiversity, and closed-loop thinking into their cultivation practices.

Examples identified by the organization include:

• Living-soil development
• Cover cropping and mulching
• Composting
• Rainwater catchment
• Groundwater recharge
• Polyculture and companion planting
• Native habitat and biodiversity protection

These examples describe the award program’s framework. They should not be treated as a universal definition, an independent environmental audit, or proof of any farm's current performance.
