Leadfarmer Crew Pt. 2 | The Breakfast Connections Podcast Episode 48

In Episode 48 of the Breakfast Connections Podcast, we take a trip to Leadfarmer HQ for one of our most technical and eye-opening conversations yet. From converting an old cattle farm into a thriving small-batch cultivation facility to dialing in irrigation, harvest timing, and environmental control, we get an inside look at what separates true craft cannabis from everything else on the shelf.

We also dive deep into pheno hunting, breeding, and the genetics currently being tested, while discussing why terpene profiles, clean cultivation, and proper smoking experience matter far more than inflated THC percentages. The conversation doesn't stop there—we unpack the realities of New York's cannabis regulations, inconsistent lab testing, distribution headaches, and the uphill battle independent cultivators face every day.

Of course, we couldn't leave without giving everyone a sneak peek at the upcoming Breakfast Connections × Leadfarmer collaboration and what's next for both brands.
