Typhoon Farma: A World-Class Farm

---

We are proud to announce our USDA Certified Organic status as of Harvest 2023 and moving forward.   Typhoon Farma has observed organic practices since our inception. Organic and sustainable regenerative practices are a key value for all operations and we strive to make continual improvements for both our community and clients. 

There's something unique about our location on the Western Slope of Colorado.  It's quickly establishing itself as the "Napa Valley" of bushy hemp given our special microclimate.  A high desert terroir and 300 days of sunshine every year make for fantastic growth. It is dry, yet we have access to an abundance of snowmelt water and use a state-of-the-art underground fertigation system.  This allows us to control the flow of water and nutrients to our plants with unmatched precision-  all the while avoiding the excessive mold-causing humidity in other parts of the country.  These key factors, in tandem with the hot summer days and cool nights, present the ideal conditions to produce large quantities of a world-class boutique product on our CBD farm. 

Perhaps our favorite part of the season is when the seeds go in the pods.  Our seeds are started in our greenhouse partner's organic aquaponic system, one unlike any other.  This system produces thoroughbred racehorse quality results that bust out of the gate almost 20% faster than in traditional germination systems in CBD farming.

On our CBD farm, we grow organically which means no pesticides and no herbicides and the cultivation is done mostly by hand.  The unsung hero of our farm is our Netafim fertigation system which was first developed for farms in the arid areas of Israel. Not only is this system water efficient, but we are able to dial in the organic nutrients and supply directly to the roots of the plants without adding excessive moisture to the leaves, thus decreasing the risk of mold exponentially.  Most hemp operations use either an overhead pivot irrigation system, or gated pipe furrow-flow system,  both of which make it challenging to supply nutrients and present a larger mold risk as the plants get bigger and airflow decreases.  Because they are expensive and labor intensive, systems like Netafim are typically reserved for smaller grows. We want to produce the best at scale, so we opted to supply our whole grow this way.

Through the use of in house equipment and our partners, we have the capability of pre-procssing biomass to meet a processors needs. Either fine milled (pictured), coarse milled, hand shucked, or whole flower, our CBD farm can accommodate any preferred biomass consistency for oil extraction. 

After harvest, we are left with actual mountains of spent fiber which can not only be used for CBD extraction itself, but have endless uses such as biochar, hempcrete, insulation, bio plastics animal bedding, and the list is endless. Our preferred genetics are feminized triploid variety, which are "seedless" varieties, so we do not produce grains on our CBD farm.
