Welcome to LightSky Farms!
From seed to smoke, our company is born and bred in Michigan. Our process, which has won LSF over 36 High Times Cannabis Cup trophies and medals, begins with a single plant. We use 100% original source material, and with zero additives, we pride ourselves on being Michigan’s preeminent terpene cannasseurs.

Our story begins in Traverse City, MI in 2009 with Shannon Walters, founder of LightSky Farms. A lifelong foodie and wine enthusiast, Walters studied under a classically-trained French chef, while managing over one hundred acres of grapes. As a winemaker, Walters honed what would serve to define the LightSky Brand, and win over 36 High Times Cannabis Cups trophies and medals: Preserving original source terpenes.
LIGHTSKY FARMS
BURTON, MI
As it has always been at LightSky Farms, our process begins with a single plant. We use 100% original source material, which means all of our product comes from one harvest and one batch. We don’t decarb the same, so while most facilities burn out terpenes and then add back in, our carts have ZERO additives. That includes zero CRC (Color Remediation Column), making our carts as true to the original source as possible.
The same care and attention to detail goes into our flowers, which begins with strong and vibrant mother plants. Our mother plants are given a custom nutrient formula, and are hand watered with care by our dedicated propagation team. The clones are then carefully selected and given individual attention until they are fully rooted and ready for transplant. We use a unique bio-hydroponic system that starts with high purity water and minerals, blended with nature’s best organic bio-stimulants. The nutrient formulas are custom blended for each stage of growth and mixed in house by our Chief Science Officer, Harley Smith.
This system of growing is called “spoon feeding,” giving the plants exactly what they need when they need it. It helps our plants to reach their true genetic potential, by bringing out colors, aromas, and flavors that most growers rarely achieve. Plants are harvested at the peak of ripeness, and dried at cool temperatures to preserve their terpene profiles. After being dried to perfection, the flower is attentively cured and hand trimmed. From there it is packaged in recyclable cans and packed with nitrogen, to preserve integrity until you’re ready to enjoy.

CARTRIDGES
Michigan's Original Single-Source All Cannabis Oil
LightSky Farms is Michigan’s original, single-source, single-strain, zero additive, all cannabis oil vape cartridge. We start with a whole live plant and fresh frozen buds, kept at a temp of -40°F, until they’re ready to be extracted into fresh frozen live resin. Our carts are filled with this live resin extract, meaning the live plant material is fresh frozen, preserving the cannabinoids and terpenes. While this product is extremely high quality and ready for consumption, we go one step further, refining it via our unique distillation process. This distillation results in the smoothest, high-potency, vape cart experience.
CONCENTRATES
Single-Strain.​ Single-Source. 100% Craft Concentrate.
LightSky Farms Concentrates are an experience you'll never forget. We apply the same care and technique to our concentrates as we do our award winning vape cartridges to create a 100% craft concentrate loaded with flavor from careful terpene preservation.

WHY, AND WHAT IS DISTILLATE OF LIVE RESIN:
Our award-winning distillate of live resin is Michigan’s original, single-source, single-strain, zero additive, all cannabis vape cartridge. We start with whole plant fresh frozen buds, kept at a temp of -40° until they’re ready to be extracted into oil via our BHO extraction. While this fresh frozen live resin concentrate is extremely high quality, we go one step further, refining it via our unique distillation process. Think of it as shaping an uncut gem into a diamond. Our carts are filled with this distillate of live resin extract, which results in the smoothest, highest potency, vape cart experience possible.
CONCENTRATES:
We use only select, fresh frozen flower to craft our award-winning, live resin concentrate. Our BHO extraction process, which filters out fats, waxes and lipids, allows for maximum terpene preservation, with zero additives or artificial terpene profiles. One dab and you’ll immediately taste and experience why we’re unique.
FLOWER:
From seed to smoke, all of our strains are handled with care by our diverse, dedicated team. We work with the industry’s best breeders to bring you new, exciting strains, along with time-tested classics. Our process begins with strong and vibrant mother plants, which are given our custom nutrient formula and hand watered with care by our dedicated propagation team. The clones are then carefully selected and given individual attention until they are fully rooted and ready for transplant.
