Frequently Asked Questions
The Farm
Where is Sunkissed Farm located?
Sunkissed Farm is a 29-acre sun-grown cannabis farm in Windsor, Vermont, situated on the Connecticut River floodplain where it meets the foothills of the Green Mountains. Our dispensary is at 4374 West Woodstock Road, Woodstock, Vermont, open seven days a week.
How long has the land been farmed?
The soil on this property has supported crops since 1805. Cannabis is the newest addition to more than two centuries of Vermont farming on the same land.
How many people work on the farm?
Around fifteen people work across every stage of the operation — tending the herd, managing the fields, processing the harvest, and maintaining the systems that hold it all together.
Can I visit the farm?
Yes — we're opening the farm to visitors this spring. In the meantime, our dispensary in Woodstock is where you can meet the team, see the products, and ask questions directly. Open seven days a week at 4374 West Woodstock Road.
How We Grow
What does "beyond organic" mean?
It means we don't just avoid synthetic inputs — we actively build the biological systems that make them unnecessary. Our soil program feeds the fungi, bacteria, earthworms, and microorganisms that create a self-sustaining growing environment. Everything that goes into the ground comes from the farm itself: on-site compost, cover crops, and material from our cattle operation.
What is a closed-loop farming system?
A closed-loop system means the farm produces its own inputs rather than sourcing them from outside. At Sunkissed Farm, the cows produce material that feeds the compost, the compost feeds the soil, and the soil feeds the plants. Nothing synthetic enters that cycle. The system becomes more productive and more stable every season.
Do you use pesticides?
No. We don't use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Pest management at Sunkissed Farm relies on diverse plantings, beneficial insect habitat along field borders, and genetics bred to handle Vermont's natural pest and fungal pressures without chemical intervention.
What is living soil cannabis?
Living soil cannabis is grown in a biologically active growing medium — soil that contains a thriving ecosystem of fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms rather than inert substrate fed with synthetic nutrients. The microbial activity in living soil makes nutrients more bioavailable to the plant and contributes directly to the terpene profile and overall quality of the finished flower. Every plant at Sunkissed Farm is grown in living soil that has been developing on this land for years.
Do you grow indoors or outdoors?
All of our cannabis is sun-grown outdoors under Vermont's full-spectrum natural light. Research from Columbia University has found that sun-grown cannabis develops richer, more complex terpene profiles than indoor flower — a difference that comes from the plant's response to natural light cycles, temperature variation, and the specific terroir of the Connecticut River Valley.
Our Cannabis
What does "grown from seed" mean and why does it matter?
Every plant at Sunkissed Farm starts from seed rather than from clones. Seeds produce a more robust root system and stronger overall plant structure than clones. More importantly, our seeds come from our own breeding program — genetics we've selected, stabilized, and tested over multiple seasons in Vermont's specific climate. No two plants are exactly alike, and that genetic diversity contributes to the complexity of what ends up in the jar.
What is a varietal?
We use the term varietal rather than strain — the same way a winemaker or apple grower would. A varietal is a distinct genetic line with its own flavor profile, terpene expression, and effect character. Sunkissed Farm currently grows nineteen varietals, all developed in-house.
How do terpenes affect the experience?
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give each varietal its distinctive smell and flavor, and they play a significant role in shaping the effect. A varietal high in limonene tends to feel more alert and uplifting. One dominated by myrcene tends toward relaxation. The terpene profile — not simply whether something is labeled sativa or indica — is the most reliable indicator of how a cannabis varietal will feel.
What's the difference between your sativa-dominant and indica-dominant varietals?
Sativa-dominant varietals at Sunkissed Farm are bred for clear-headed, energizing effects suited to daytime use — focus, creativity, conversation. Indica-dominant varietals tend toward relaxation, body ease, and slower evenings. Many of our varietals sit between those poles, offering focused calm or social warmth depending on the person and the setting. Terpene profiles on each product page give the most accurate picture of what to expect.
Are your products tested?
Yes. Vermont law requires all licensed cannabis products to be tested by an independent laboratory for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, pathogens, and water activity before they can be sold. Certificates of Analysis are available at our dispensary.
Here is the list of all of our testing of all our varietals.
Our Seeds
What makes Sunkissed Farm seeds different from other seeds available in New England?
Most cannabis seeds sold in New England were developed for different climates — California light deprivation, Pacific Northwest conditions, or controlled indoor environments. Our seeds were bred specifically for Vermont's short growing season, early frosts, high humidity, and persistent mold pressure. Every varietal in our seed program is fully feminized, F1 stabilized, and proven across multiple seasons on this farm before we offer it to other growers.
What does F1 stabilized mean?
F1 refers to the first generation of a cross between two stable parent lines. A stabilized F1 seed produces plants that are highly consistent in their growth characteristics, terpene profile, and yield — meaning growers can expect reliable, predictable results rather than the variability that comes from unstabilized or landrace genetics.
When will seeds be available?
Our seed program is currently in development. Sign up at sunkissed.farm to be notified when seeds become available.
Visiting & Buying
Where is your dispensary?
4374 West Woodstock Road, Woodstock, Vermont. Open seven days a week. Reach us at hello@sunkissed.farm or 802-222-6920.
What are the hours at the dispensary?
Sunkissed Farm Dispensary is open everyday from 9 a.m to 7 p.m. You can also ahead at our dispensary website.
Do I need a medical card to purchase?
No. Vermont operates an adult-use cannabis market. Any person 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID can purchase at our Woodstock dispensary.
What is the purchase limit in Vermont?
Vermont law permits adults 21 and older to purchase up to one ounce of cannabis or the equivalent in cannabis products per transaction.
How should I store cannabis after purchase?
Store cannabis in an airtight container away from light, heat, and humidity. A cool, dark location — not a refrigerator — is ideal. Proper storage preserves the terpene profile and potency for significantly longer than leaving flower in its original packaging once opened.
Safety & Sourcing
How do I know what's in my cannabis?
Every product sold at Sunkissed Farm has been tested by an independent Vermont laboratory and carries a label with THC percentage, terpene profile, harvest date, and batch number as required under Vermont's Act 56. Certificates of Analysis are available on request. We can tell you exactly what went into every plant because we controlled every input from seed to harvest.
Why does it matter where cannabis comes from?
Cannabis grown without oversight — in unlicensed operations or markets without testing requirements — may contain pesticide residues, heavy metals, or other contaminants that don't appear on any label because there is no label. Licensed Vermont cannabis must pass independent testing before it reaches a customer. At Sunkissed Farm, that testing is the last step in a growing process where we controlled every input ourselves.
Can I consume cannabis I buy at your dispensary in public?
No. Vermont law permits cannabis consumption on private property with the owner's permission only. Public consumption is not permitted, including in vehicles, parks, or on sidewalks.
