Che LeBlanc

Rosebud Cannabis Farms was founded by Che Leblanc, a certified permaculturist, who brings three decades of experience in the cannabis industry as a second-generation expert grower. He has grown and developed many strains of cannabis for indoor and outdoor production, incorporating environmental ethics and sustainable growing techniques. As a licensed Standard cannabis producer based near Salmo, BC, Rosebud Cannabis Farms demonstrates what premium craft sun grown cannabis can be all the while utilizing regenerative agriculture methods. The company is a combination of a vision to move back to the land for producing this amazing plant the way it has been grown for a millennia – in the sun, in the soil, in a diverse ecosystem – and, at the same time, putting people and earth ethics at the cornerstone of the business.

As founder and director of Rosebud Cannabis Farms, The Unicorn Cup music festival, Rosebud Bowl as well as being the co-founder of Antidote Processing, Che is dedicated to demonstrating a better way to live – in harmony with our planet and community while creating space for cannabis culture to once again thrive in the Kootenays and beyond. In his words, ‘we are bringing the legacy cannabis flower that made the Kooteney‘s famous to the legal marketplace’.
