Lowell Farms

Lowell Herb Co. has elevated the perception of cannabis consumption with its sophisticated packaging and best selling products. Based in California, Lowell Herb Co.`s ethos is reflected through its instantly recognizable bull logo that pays homage to the fight against cannabis prohibition. The Lowell Herb Co. story dates back to the spring of 1909, William “Bull” Lowell began growing what was called Indian Hemp on his farm on the central coast of California. Henry J. Finger took a dislike to Bull`s “marijuana being smoked by the wrong kinds of people”. Finger conspired to outlaw cannabis and later passed the 1913 Poison Act. Bull believed in a man`s right to smoke the dried plant and enjoy its benefits. When the stubborn Bull refused to stop growing his beloved plant, Finger shut down Bull`s farm and later threw him in jail. Today Lowell Farms, a community of family farms honor the great Bull Lowell`s tradition of growing cannabis naturally and with a deep love and respect for the plant. OUR PLEDGE 1. We grow our flowers with only ORGANIC fertilizer. 2. We never use synthetic pesticides 3. We pay our farmers a proper living wage 4. We use natural materials from seed to sale.

Petcurean

Dogs and cats and cats and dogs. We just love every little furry thing about them; from when they`re tiny and helpless, as they settle down into our hearts and homes and daily lives, to when they`re older and in need of extra care. Dogs and cats and cats and dogs. They keep us company, warm our hearts and make us laugh and laugh. And, if you`re like us, you do the very best you can for your pets; all that you can to keep them healthy, safe, active and happy. At Petcurean, we create premium quality, nutrient-rich food that`s right for pets, to help our dogs and cats get the most out of their lives with us. We always have, since day one when two good friends started a little family operation in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. They were driven by the idea that pets deserved better: that pets deserved food that was made with the same love and care as we put into preparing meals for our own families. To this day, Petcurean remains fiercely independent and lives by the rule of quality first, pets first, without compromise. We`re pet people, pet owners, pet advocates and yes, more than a little obsessed with proper pet nutrition. You should see us when we`re talking about what recipes we should be creating; the meats, veggies and fruits we should be including; which rancher, farmer or producer we`ll source from; what flavours we should be considering. It`s not enough to create a new recipe for the sake of having a new recipe; our foods have to do better than that, our foods have to help pets stay healthy and happy. Think about it; one small piece of kibble contains every ingredient… the proteins, carbs and fats, the vitamins and minerals your pet needs to sustain and nourish its life. Yup. With every decision we make, every recipe we create, we put pets first. That`s what we`ve always done, here at Petcurean. And, that`s what we`ll always do.
