Family craft
Built for the long run
We are not chasing every trend or trying to be the loudest name in cannabis. We are building a trusted Minnesota operation one room, one batch, and one release at a time.
The grow behind the shelf
Northwoods craft cannabis, grown in Brainerd.
Smith Farms North is a family-owned cannabis cultivation and manufacturing operation in Brainerd, Minnesota. We grow small-batch indoor cannabis with patience, clean process, thoughtful genetics, and a deep respect for the Northwoods place we call home.

Our story
Family-owned. Brainerd-grown. Northwoods-rooted.
Smith Farms North was built around a simple idea: Minnesota cannabis should have a real local source. Our work starts with healthy plants, steady rooms, clean handling, and a commitment to showing the craft behind the products we put our name on.
Cultivation first
The rooms come first
Our process begins with the plants. Canopy health, room consistency, harvest timing, dry and cure, and careful handling all shape the finished product.
Local connection
A clear trail to the shelf
Through Trailhead Cannabis Company, customers can connect the products on the shelf to the local cultivation and manufacturing work happening just down the trail.
Trailhead is where the visit begins. Smith Farms North is where the craft begins.
From Brainerd cultivation to the Northwoods shelfOur standard
Craft is a process.
Good cannabis does not happen by accident. It comes from thoughtful genetics, clean rooms, steady plant care, careful harvest decisions, disciplined post-harvest handling, and a team willing to pay attention to the details that matter.
Smith Farms North
Every batch has a trail.
From clone to canopy, from harvest to cure, from fresh-frozen input to finished product, we follow each batch with intention. Our goal is to protect the character of the plant and give customers a clearer view of the work behind the shelf.
01
Choose genetics with a purpose
We build our lineup around aroma, structure, grow performance, product potential, and long-term usefulness in our rooms.
02
Grow for repeatable quality
Healthy plants, stable rooms, sanitation, documentation, and consistent decisions help every cycle move in the right direction.
03
Protect the batch after harvest
Drying, curing, bucking, freezing, packaging, and storage are part of the product. Post-harvest care matters.
04
Release with intention
Each release should have a reason to exist, a clear batch story, and a quality standard that supports the Smith Farms North name.

Reserve Standard is our way of explaining the upper trail at Smith Farms North: batches with standout aroma, structure, finish, freshness, and overall presence. It is not just a label. It is the quality story behind select releases.
Aroma and expression
Release-worthy presence
A Reserve batch should have a clear reason to be highlighted: aroma, structure, character, freshness, and overall shelf presence.
Dry and cure
Post-harvest discipline
Premium handling should be visible in the final product. Dry, cure, storage, and packaging all help protect what was grown in the room.
Batch story

Names should carry the place.
Smith Farms North is building a lineup rooted in quality, purpose, and place. Some selections are chosen for dependable flower. Others are grown with solventless potential in mind. Our house names are built to feel like they belong here in the Northwoods.
Core cultivars
Reliable flower with repeat value
The core lineup is built around quality, aroma, structure, production fit, and the kind of finished flower customers want to come back for.
House strains
Local names with real story
Our house names are inspired by the Northwoods: trails, lakes, state flowers, folklore, seasons, and the landscape around us.
Future releases
Batch storytelling over hype
We want every release to have a trail: what it is, where it came from, how it grew, and why it earned a place on the shelf.
House strain pages
Our strain pages will highlight origin story, grow notes, aroma direction, batch photos, product format, and where to find the release when available.
Built for Minnesota
Smith Farms North is focused on small-batch cannabis with a local voice: Brainerd-grown, Northwoods-inspired, and connected to the customers we serve.
Solventless-minded
The lab story starts before the lab.
Solventless quality begins with the plant. Cultivar selection, harvest timing, fresh-frozen handling, clean workflow, temperature control, and batch discipline all matter before the material ever reaches the wash room.
Selection
Not every batch is a washer
Some cultivars and harvest windows are better suited for solventless work. Selection happens with intention.
Fresh-frozen
Protect the plant quickly
When a batch is headed for solventless, timing, handling, storage, and cleanliness all help protect what the plant gives us.
Release standard
Small batch only when it earns it
Solventless is a quality category, not a checkbox. Batches move forward when the result supports the Smith Farms North name.
Wholesale
For licensed Minnesota partners.
Smith Farms North works to build clear, professional relationships with licensed Minnesota operators who value quality, transparency, batch communication, and a local product story that can be explained at the counter.
Partner fit
Licensed Minnesota operators
We are most interested in working with partners who value batch quality, clear timelines, honest communication, and local craft.
Availability
Clear supply communication
We would rather communicate clearly about availability and batch direction than overpromise what is coming next.
