Ethically produced, sustainable cannabis – it’s what sets Puro apart

9 July, 2025

In an industry where 'sweatshop cannabis' is on the rise, Puro represents the polar opposite - ethical production that prioritises people, plants, and planet over maximum yields.

Too many facilities today resemble factory farms, cramming plants under intense artificial lighting while processing occurs in windowless rooms under flickering lights. This approach maximises biomass per square metre but sacrifices everything that makes cannabis special. 

Our philosophy centres on three pillars: looking after our land, our people, and our plants. We grow at a sustainable scale where individual plant care remains possible. Our team can nurture each plant through its lifecycle rather than managing anonymous crops through automated systems. 

Our outdoor cultivation harnesses Marlborough’s unique climate rather than fighting it. While cavernous indoor facilities require massive energy for lighting, environmental control, and ventilation, our plants thrive under natural sunlight with living soil teeming with beneficial microbes. We embrace biodiversity—birds, bees, and beneficial insects that create balance impossible in sterile indoor environments. 

The difference shows in our products. Our live drying technology captures unique terpene and cannabinoid profiles that reflect our terroir—the combination of soil, climate, and cultivation practices that makes our cannabis distinctive. We’re not chasing the highest THC percentages; we’re crafting complex therapeutic profiles. 

Quality over quantity extends to our team. We employ people from diverse backgrounds—farmers, vineyard workers, scientists, quality experts —united by shared values and commitment to excellence. We’re proud to be creating sustainable careers in our emerging industry. 

As the cannabis market matures, patients and consumers increasingly recognise the benefits of ethically grown, sustainable cannabis. We strongly believe that ethical production creates superior products while building a business that benefits everyone involved.
