The Definitive Cup for the Fall Harvest

Post this

“Not only is the spirit of the event responsible, it is vital that the lessons it has to offer are heard and understood by those outside it. Sustainability, earth-friendly practices, clean medicine and better business standards all take center stage during the event, one which is beginning to attract a global audience.” – SKUNK Magazine, John Vergados

The Emerald Cup will make its highly anticipated return to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, CA on December 13th and 14th, 2014. For more than a decade, The Emerald Cup has become synonymous with setting the highest standards for sustainable, sun-grown, outdoor cannabis and is the largest, most respected, organic, outdoor, medicinal cannabis competition in the world, making it “The Definitive Cup for the Fall Harvest.”

This year’s entries will once again represent the best that Northern California and beyond has to offer and we are expecting more than 300 entrants, in 4 categories: flowers, edibles, solvent-less concentrates, and topicals. For the first time you will be able to view all of the entries in one place.

And for patients who want to connect, CannCast has a huge announcement coming on the day of the event so stay tuned.

“The Emerald Cup is about bringing providers, dispensaries, and patients together,” said Ryan Burke, CannCast Marketing Director, “and we are excited to offer a way for patients to view all of the entries into this year’s competition, even if they are too far away to be there. We are committed to strengthening the medical cannabis industry, and we hope that this year’s competition shows how promising our future has become.”

About The Emerald Cup: The Emerald Cup was founded by Tim Blake in 2003 to promote Northern California as the premier destination for medicinal marijuana, while advancing the concept of sustainable, outdoor farming.

“Northern California is a region with one of the oldest and most established medicinal marijuana growing communities,” said Tim Blake. “We have endeavored to keep our methods and our product pure and free from toxins. As a group, we have amassed an enormous amount of experience and expertise, which we enjoy sharing with fellow farmers each year at The Emerald Cup.”

The event is named for the area in Mendocino and Humboldt known as The Emerald Triangle, widely regarded for producing the world's finest cannabis. It is a community celebration honoring the year's finest, sun-grown, medicinal cannabis harvest. 2013 solidified The Emerald Cup’s reputation as the largest, most respected, organic, outdoor, medicinal cannabis competition in the world. From small beginnings in Laytonville over a decade ago, this event has now proven itself to be “The Definitive Cup for the Fall Harvest.”

Tickets Are On Sale Now: Single day tickets are $45.00, weekend tickets are $80.00.
