"Since its leap into the adult-use market in 2021, Moon Valley has made a name for itself amongst the most discerning smokers and racked up an impressive number of awards for its indoor soil-grown ca**abis. With sustainability in mind, Moon Valley does things like using reclaimed water to make its ice water h*sh and rosins, but the main thing that the canna company uses to market itself is “living soil,” or soil that contains a dynamic living ecosystem. And the growing methodology at Moon Valley appears to be working; their flowers take the trend in sweet fruit-forward ca**abis into a place so far away from the others in the pack that it’s beyond the gravitational pull of Earth.."

"Farmers do not till #livingsoil but build upon it year after year, an action aimed at improving its health in several ways. Compost, filled with fungal life that helps it decompose, is used to help the soil retain water and nutrients. Beneficial insects like earthworms help with things like aerating the soil and provide an additional source of fertilization through their waste. This “#notill” farming style also involves other sustainable agricultural practices such as using cover crops, or plants that are not grown to be harvested, but to enrich the soil and promote biodiversity."

“I don’t know what the plants want and when they want to eat it, so we’re just trying to provide them with a buffet, and whenever they want it, they can take as much as they want,” says MV founder Eli Buffalo. “We’re trying to make sure that what we think the plant wants is within the soil.”

"My tour of Moon Valley’s Santa Rosa, California grow was already pretty unique for an indoor #cultivation facility, before I reach the fermentation area.."
