When it comes to concentrates and extracts, Maggie’s Farm only carries premium-grade products that are produced by industry-leading Colorado brands like Evolab, Green Dot, Harmony, and The Clear. Choose from shatter, wax, live resin, pure distillates, and a variety of cartridges.
Distillates use an extraction process called “short path distillation,” which separates and refines molecules and contaminants to create a clean, almost clear concentrate. Other extraction methods don’t produce nearly the same purity level or versatility as this technique, placing distillates firmly on the top shelf of concentrates.
Live products like sugar and batter are produced from fresh, flash-frozen bud (as opposed to BHO, which comes from bud that’s been dried and cured). The cryogenic freezing of fresh cannabis blossoms helps to extract a wider range of cannabinoids and terpenes, but it requires very specialized equipment.
Cannabis wax refers to the softer, opaque oils that have lost their transparency after extraction. Wax takes on different consistencies based on heat, moisture, and the texture of the oil before it is purged, resulting in a spectrum of products. Runny oils with more moisture tend to form gooey waxes, often called “budder,” while the harder ones are likely to take on a soft, brittle texture known as “crumble” or “honeycomb.”
Shatter is a concentrate that melts when heated and comes in varying degrees of transparency and color profiles. When it’s warm, it has the consistency of very thick honey. When it’s cold, its consistency is more like glass, which “shatters” when dropped or tapped.
