Assistance in the development of our partners’ products
Proximity of the supply chain in the canton of Vaud and Valais.
Our farm :Yvorne
Our farm in Yvorne, in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, is located in a valley at the foot of the Alps. Its fertile land, clean air and the use of rainwater and our well ensure a superior quality of organic cultivation.
Charrat : The Laboratory
Our laboratory is located in our facility in Charrat. This is where we perform all the HPLC tests, but also where we extract the CBD using Supercritical CO2 in order to obtain our mother paste. We then proceed with the distillation and purification methods to obtain the final products that our customers want.
The importance of Local
The importance of Local It is essential for us to reduce our ecological footprint as much as possible. And therefore, to have a local production of products. Our farm is located 35 kilometers from our facility in Charrat. Our entire supply and production chain is therefore within a radius of less than 50 kilometers. 100% Swiss.
The Extraction technology : Supercritical CO2
This technology allows CBD to be extracted from plants in the cleanest and safest way, without the use of chemicals or solvents. The CBD distillate produced by Supercritical CO2 extraction is therefore the purest and most environmentally friendly you will find on the market.

DRYING AND CURING
Respect for the natural process
The drying room is controlled by an automated system, which allows only a slight variation of the pre-set temperatures and humidity levels.
Once the flowers are clean and trimmed, we store them in our drying room until they are ready to be shipped.
MANUFACTURING
SUPERCRITICAL CO2 EXTRACTION
Zero waste approach
This “zero waste” approach is clean, environmentally friendly, and the technology we use ensures a pure and reproducible finished product, free of all impurities and solvents.
Supercritical CO2
Supercritical CO2 is the cleanest and purest form of extraction.
CO2 Recovery
Most of the CO2 we use is recovered and any residue is redirected to our cultivation room.
ANALYSIS
CANNABIS ANALYZER FOR POTENCY – HPLC
Producing high quality cannabinoid derivatives.
QC testing for potency is essential for the accurate and legal distribution of our products in Switzerland and the rest of the world.
Using HPLC technology, we test the potency a minimum of 4 times per batch to ensure that we are complying with the laws of the country for which each batch is produced.
We control every variable to produce high quality, reproducible cannabinoid derivatives.
Of course, we also offer this laboratory analysis as a service for any other manufacturer wishing to test their CBD product.
