Legendary among the cannabis community for their exceptional flowers, sofresh delivers the best-quality products in Oregon. It all began back in 2007 when husband-and-wife team, Tyson and Michelle Haworth, started a small growing operation to produce medical marijuana. It was initially just a part-time endeavor, but their uncommon commitment to both ethically and environmentally-responsible farming practices resulted in products that were far superior to the competition. Word spread, and within a few short years, the business grew into a full-time concern.

As we are all aware, in 2014, marijuana was legalized in the state of Oregon for (limited) recreational usage, and that decision changed the growers’ market almost overnight. A slew of operations opened up across the state, all vying for position, but sofresh farms stayed the course. After untold hours of research, development and trial and error, they made the choice to eschew many of the practices which might have developed the business more rapidly, and instead kept their focus on quality over quantity. And that has made all the difference. While the market has been saturated with competitors (many who boast large corporate backers with deep pockets), sofresh has not only survived but thrived. They have earned multiple awards, and become Oregon’s most-esteemed and trusted grower of high-quality products.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Tyson Haworth, and he was not only affable and a pleasure to converse with, but also remarkably erudite regarding specific matters of the business. True scholars of the process, he and Michelle both could teach classes on the subject. They are constantly experimenting with new strains, and are especially excited right now to be introducing their new “Double Durban” and “Garlic Berry” strains in November. These two strains are high in THCV, a specific compound which has the unique effect of being an appetite suppressant. So, no more munchies! THCV has been dubbed “diet weed” and has the added benefit of simultaneously boosting your energy. So, next time you’re looking to get some things done around the house, one of these two new strains will fit the bill nicely.

sofresh farms is a local, family-owned and -operated business. Tyson and Michelle were both born and raised here in Oregon. They, along with their children, Theodore and Lincoln, run the entire show. It’s all organic and distinctly-specialized, with great effort and care put into every stage of the process. Tyson said that, in their efforts to produce the highest-quality products, they have leaned more heavily toward sativa genetics. These flowers take a little bit longer to harvest, and are therefore more rare in the market, but the results speak for themselves. Quality products take time, but they’re always worth the wait!

Don’t settle for anything less than the best! sofresh farms products can be purchased at a variety of local dispensaries across the state. They have some terrific, long-standing partnerships with reputable companies whom Tyson and Michelle are grateful to work with.
