HVST
New Mexico’s cannabis scene, where competition is fierce and quality standards even fiercer, Harvest Foundation has been carving its own path. This producer entered the scene during New Mexico's second wave of medical cannabis licensing—a crucial time when the demand for medical cannabis was surging, and the state was cautiously expanding access. Incorporated in 2016, Harvest Foundation hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back.
By 2023, they were no longer just another name on the roster but a force in the field. At the New Mexico Growers Cup, dubbed the Harvest Cup, Harvest Foundation hauled in an impressive lineup of awards that cemented its reputation. Their Zake #3 and Purple Octane clinched first and second in Indica Flower, while White Rainbow varieties swept Hybrid categories and Fiji Sunset took top honors for Sativa. Pens, carts, and concentrates? They scooped up trophies for those, too, with Bapestia and Grape Gasoline leading the pack. I still remember smoking a preroll of HVST White Rainbow i “acquired” in the crowd.
This wasn’t just a list of awards but a testament to their intense focus on quality and innovation. It’s a philosophy that goes beyond a trophy shelf (which they have plenty of), extending to their full control of the production process. In 2019, Harvest expanded their vision with rosin—entering a niche market that requires finesse, care, and a whole lot of dedication. By controlling each step of the rosin journey—from cultivation to harvest, freeze, and wash—they ensure that every gram of concentrate reflects the unique essence of the plant.
Behind this operation is a local grower out of Grants, a cultivator whose approach is half science, half devotion. For him, this is a labor of love—a dedication to genetics, health, and quality. Every plant gets its share of personal attention, and nothing goes to market until it passes his high bar. So when you pick up a product from Harvest Foundation, you’re not just getting cannabis; you’re buying into a story—a New Mexican narrative of quality, dedication, and a little bit of grit.
