Harvest season is a time of great abundance on any farm, and as your cup overflows, you have the opportunity to share the fruits of your labor with your neighbors and community. Local orchards invite visitors to pick apples and make cider. Tulip growers open their fields for guests to pick fresh bouquets. It was only a matter of time before harvest season on cannabis farms brought similar traditions.
This year, Phantom Farms took the lead with the Harvest Ninja VIP Tour, a private 2-day event in mid-October that highlighted the amazing work the farms have done over the past 12 months and what they’ve been building for over 10 months. It was a thoughtfully curated weekend of activities, complete with stunning scenery and exceptional cannabis.
Harvest Season: Life on a Southern Oregon Cannabis Farm
Phantom Farms is a beautifully crafted lifestyle brand that grows amazing weed. Their adventurous, family-friendly, and genuine approach was on display all weekend.
And what would a harvest event be without enjoying a bit of the season's harvest?

Five memorable strains
One of the first stops on our Harvest Ninja adventure was a visit to Phantom’s brand new, meticulously crafted indoor farm. Within the walls of this facility, their team of expert growers employ Korean Natural Farming (KNF) techniques, an organic and thoughtful approach to farming that emphasizes the natural terpene profile each strain exhibits. It was exciting to watch Phantom’s growers apply these time-honored growing practices, utilizing the functionality and control afforded by a state-of-the-art indoor facility.
Later that evening, as we sipped on craft beer and devoured a buffet of delicious food, the Phantom team shared their vision with us, as well as the results of their first indoor harvest.
