Aunt Sparkie’s; a Step Toward a Greener Industry

The Breeze team had the pleasure of touring Aunt Sparkie’s farm this week. We visited the day
before harvest to get a full understanding of the lifecycle of an Aunt Sparkie’s plant. Going in,
we were familiar with the brand, loved the organic flower, and knew they were a company
worth learning about; after leaving, we realized we only knew half the story of this amazing
group.
We toured with Anne, AKA Aunt Sparkie, and Jason, their Master Grower. The two were a joy to
learn from and it was clear their hearts were in this industry for the right reasons. They’ve been
growing at a small level over the years and took a leap of faith with the recent change from
medical to recreational cannabis. As we toured their Mom/Veg/Clone Room and Flower Room,
they explained some of the mechanisms used to ensure their plants get the proper love and
attention–which is clearly the case, because the plants were beautiful.

Knowing they were an organic farm, we expected them to be eco/health conscious, but had no
idea the steps they were taking to reduce their carbon footprint. They aim to use as many
sources from nature as possible; their lights, humidity, and other air conditions are derived
from nature and use electricity to supplement. Before entering the greenhouse, we entered the
control room. The room has vents in the ceiling that are opened and closed to allow natural air
to circulate through the Flower Room. The air then gets purified through a series of filters and
sponges to add or take away moisture. Additionally, the greenhouse roof is clear to allow
sunlight through and automatically adjusts the LED lighting depending on the strength of the
sunlight. Probably the most impressive natural feature they utilize is the “living soil”. The soil
used for the plants is circulated back to compost after they harvest. The roots, stalks, leaves,
and other byproducts are added back to the soil where two different kinds of worms work to
help decomposition. The soil is reused to ensure all of the plant nutrients are being recycled to
enrich the soil for future plants.
Aside from using the elements, they’re also conscious of the materials they use in their
process. The team relies on reusable fabric for their pots in order to reduce their amount of
waste and move away from plastic products. With their new pre-rolls hitting the market, they
wanted us to know that the plastic doob tubes are made from plastic recycled from the ocean,
another testament of their commitment to the environment.

All in all, this tour showed the potential industry leaders have to make a difference. We have a
responsibility for each other and the environment, and that was clearly the mindset at Aunt
Sparkie’s. Judging by the quality of their products, when growers are passionate about cannabis
and lead with compassion for others, magic happens.
