Why Sun+Earth Certified?

Cannabis has been grown naturally, under the sun, for millennia. But in the last decade, alongside the benefits of legalization, the cannabis industry has become increasingly commodified and dominated by large-scale industrial agriculture, with energy-intensive indoor grows and heavy reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Meanwhile, it is increasingly more difficult for small-scale, artisanal family farmers to find a marketplace for their products, and for consumers to know how their cannabis was grown.

Sun+Earth Certified is dedicated to shifting the cannabis cultivation industry toward a cleaner, healthier, and more ethical future. A first-of-its-kind nonprofit certification for regenerative organic cannabis, the Sun+Earth seal is based on a rigorous set of standards for cannabis grown in the soil of mother earth, under the sun, by fairly paid farmers and farm workers.

Sun and Earth Certified Brands

Sun+Earth certifies that cannabis brands are holistically, responsibly, and regeneratively grown for the well-being of all people, farmers, and the planet. We set the standard above and beyond organic. We’d like to introduce you to our certified farms and brands who oppose any practice harmful to growers or Mother Earth.

Weed Like Change

The Weed Like Change campaign is led by a coalition of Sun+Earth Certified farms and brands, partner dispensaries, allied businesses, and nonprofits.

More than ever it is critical to support regenerative organic craft farmers who are under extreme threat of extinction.

Despite legislation falling short to protect small farms from large-scale industrial cannabis, this coalition has remained true to land-based community values and regenerative organic practices that craft cannabis was built on.

We believe it feels better to consume cannabis that is grown in ways that honor our place in the web of life.
