Grown with Arizona sunlight.
ARC Farms grows hemp in climate-controlled light deprivation greenhouses in Tucson, Arizona, combining the strength of the desert sun with precise environmental control.
Built for the desert
Tucson gives us some of the most intense sunlight in the country, and our greenhouses are built to put it to work. Hemp grown in the open desert would face triple-digit heat, intense UV, and unpredictable monsoons, so we grow under cover: light deprivation greenhouses that let the sun in while we control the temperature, the humidity, the air exchange, and the light schedule that triggers flowering.
What began as a practical answer to a hard climate turned out to be the foundation of everything we do. When every variable works in the plant's favor, the flower comes out consistent - harvest after harvest, strain after strain.
Control where it counts
Everything in our greenhouses runs through a centralized controller that monitors and adjusts conditions around the clock. Temperature stays within the range each growth stage demands - warm enough for vigorous vegetative growth, cool enough during flowering to protect terpene development. Air exchange keeps fresh air moving without exposing the plants to pests, which is part of why beneficial insects and natural biological controls are all we have ever needed.
Light deprivation is what makes the schedule ours. By controlling the photoperiod - the hours of light and dark each plant receives - we trigger flowering when the plants are ready rather than when the season allows. That is how we harvest four to six times a year instead of once.
Four to six harvests a year
Harvesting four to six times a year gives us frequent chances to refine what we grow. Each strain begins with a careful phenotype selection process: we start from seed, then select for strength, terpene profile, and overall performance before anything makes it into our production lineup. Only the best expressions move forward.
The result is flower that looks, smells, and smokes the way it should - dense, frosty, richly colored, and hand-trimmed. The growing conditions are what make that outcome repeatable.
Good growing starts with good soil
Our greenhouses control the environment, and our soil feeds the plant.
