Small-Batch Craft Cannabis from Salt Spring Island, BC
GOOD BUDS is a family-run, Health Canada licensed craft cannabis producer on Salt Spring Island, BC, founded in 2017 by brothers Tyler and Alex Rumi. We grow our own strains in small batches in certified organic living soil. Every plant is harvested by hand, and both our indoor and sun-grown cannabis hang whole on the stem for two to three weeks before a slow cure. GOOD BUDS flower, pre-rolls and vapes are sold through licensed retailers in BC, Alberta and Ontario.
Strains we bred for flavour
We grow three core strains, and each one was chosen on the farm. Gluerangutan was pheno-hunted from about 160,000 seeds in 2019 and backcrossed over three seasons. Mango Cake crosses our own Mango Taffie with Wedding Cake. Timewarp is a pheno-selected cut of the BC heirloom Texada Timewarp. We have dropped crosses that beat our current strains on yield, THC and terpenes because the aroma was wrong. The highest numbers aren't always the best flower.
Hand-harvested and hang-dried for weeks
Every plant is harvested by hand. Our sun-grown and indoor crops then hang whole, on the stem, for at least 14 days and usually around 21, drying slowly until the stems snap. A slow dry lets moisture leave the flower gradually, which protects aroma and helps it burn evenly. After trimming, each lot is sealed and held in cold storage, where it keeps curing until it leaves the farm.
Whole flower, single strain, nothing added
Every GOOD BUDS pre-roll is 100% whole flower, a mix of small and large buds, with no trim. We tried trim pre-rolls once. They burned harsher and tasted worse, so we never made them. Every vape lot is one strain from one harvest, with no distillate and no added terpenes, filled on the farm by weight.
Organic, from the soil up
Craft starts in the soil. GOOD BUDS is FVOPA Certified Organic for both sun-grown and indoor cultivation. Our plants grow in living soil rebuilt each season with compost and cover crops, irrigated with rainwater, with no synthetic inputs. The sun-grown fields sit on shale beside the Salish Sea.
