Terpene Belt Farms: Pioneers in Hemp Essential Oil
Terpene Belt Farms is a trailblazing vertically integrated agricultural processor established in 2019 to create the first scaled supply of hemp essential oil. Operating under the 2018 Farm Bill, we produce Fresh Never Frozen® hemp essential oil with a steadfast commitment to quality. Our oils celebrate the legacy of California Cannabis while emphasizing the rich terroir, fostering a vintage-driven framework to elevate the discourse on cannabis derivatives and their applications.
Farming Excellence
Situated in the foothills of the Diablo Range is a lesser-known cannabis haven: The California Terpene Belt. In the San Joaquin Valley, known as "America's Breadbasket," we cultivate Fresh Never Frozen® cannabis essential oil with the precision and care characteristic of legacy cannabis farming. This prime farming region is central to our fragrance farming philosophy. Our Northern California terpene farm is the cornerstone of the rapidly growing cannabis-derived terpene market.
Superior Processing
Our Fresh Never Frozen® material handling approach is essential to producing the world's finest cannabis terpenes. We process our flowers fresh—never frozen, dried, or cured. Our processing facility is specifically designed for high-quality cannabis essential oil production using a solventless extraction. This method is meticulously tuned to capture the plant's essence, preserving the purest terpenes while excluding cannabinoids.
A Bright Future
As the first company to achieve industrial-scale production of fragrance molecules from the cannabis plant, Terpene Belt Farms is dedicated to dismantling the barriers around cannabis. With the support of cannabis product manufacturers, we aim to make cannabis more accessible worldwide. Our cannabinoid-free oils offer a unique opportunity to enter the traditional flavor industry. In 2024, we will submit our first FDA GRAS application for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, marking the start of our expansion into mainstream markets, with many more milestones to follow.
