Superior quality cannabis produced in batches where every step of the process, from growing all the way down to the packaging, is carefully done by hand with the utmost integrity. Factors such as unique genetic lineages, nutrient-rich soil and love are essential in to creating Craft Cannabis - a cut above the rest."

Beloved by Hashtag staff and regulars, Sweetwater Farms is a craft cannabis producer out of Cheney, WA.

They grow their cannabis using living soil and an organic nutrient regimen. On a strictly “AS NEEDED” basis, they use organically certified pesticides (instead of synthetic chemically produced products!).

Sweetwater places high importance on retaining terpenes as well as being aware of which terpenes are most prevalent among their different strains. Terpenes play an integral role in the aroma and feelings you experience. For example, a Hashtag favorite is Candyland which is high in caryophyllene - a hoppy aroma that’s common in energetic sativas.

On the more indica leaning side, our shop favorite from Sweetwater is Primus, which is high in myrcene - a musky and clove aroma common in heavier indicas. Very different experiences and flavors, but grown by the same dedicated folks at Sweetwater Farms.


Another part of the seed-to-sale process that Sweetwater takes seriously is the slow cure. Much attention is paid to moisture levels and temperature so that their buds can offer their signature smooth and flavorful smoke.

You’ll likely be able to spot Sweetwater’s eye catching and fun aesthetic jars as soon as you approach our flower section at Hashtag. Sweetwater’s Huckleberry Pie, when available, has been on our staff pick list of favorite strains two years in a row!

Ask your budtender what’s available and delicious from Sweetwater Farms this week. We always carry a wide selection of their unique strains as flower, pre rolled joints and concentrates!
