The limited-edition Best of Harvest Box includes 28 grams of cannabis from 28 different small farms located throughout Northern California. Included in this collection is Giving Tree Farms' sungrown cross between Cotton Candy and Shiskaberry, cultivated in a living soil organisms (LSO) environment which produces the maximum genetic potential within the plant.

As with all of Giving Tree Farms' products, all strains are cared for using only OMRI-listed nutrients and conscientious water conservation methods.

"We are honored Natural Cannabis included our sungrown strain in the Best of Harvest Box. Our primary focus is on cultivating a well-rounded flower. Our breeding and cultivation efforts strive to release the full genetic potential of the cannabis plant," said Chris Butler, president of Giving Tree Farms, based in the Anderson Valley appellation of Mendocino County, Cali. "At Giving Tree, we believe that the quality of cannabis is beyond the percentage of THC found in the flower."

Butler adds that there's increasing consensus within the field of cannabis research that the benefits of cannabis derived from various cannabinoids working in tandem, known as the "entourage effect," offer a more robust experience. The percentage of THC with the cannabis flower is still widely considered the gold standard of the determining the value. Giving Tree Farms' chooses to look further than this one indicator of quality.

The limited-edition California Farmer's Showcase Best of Harvest Box is available beginning on Nov. 12.

The California Farmer's Showcase Best of Harvest Box retails for $190 and will be available at all three Natural Cannabis Company Northern California locations: Oakland Organics, Oakland; OrganiCann, Santa Rosa; and MendoCann, Hopland.

"The wine industry has their events around harvest and so do we," said Dona Frank, founder and owner of Natural Cannabis Company. "Small farms tend to get overlooked at all these cup events, especially now that so many are tied to corporate interests. We work exclusively with small farms, so we want to recognize their contributions. These farms are growing some of the best cannabis in the world."

A full list of farmers and their products featured in the California Farmer's Showcase Best of Harvest Box is available online.
