About Us: Querrey Boys
Querrey Boys Cannabis was formed in 2019 by David, Sam, and Greg Markowski, along with Dan Querrey, Mark Atwood, and Jim Gilmour. As one of the largest certified Organic hemp producers in the state of Vermont, we pride ourselves in the high quality of our CBD products. That comes from a human, hands on approach, sustainable solar energy, and holistic organic farming practices.
Our Organic Promise
Whether we’re transplanting the seeds in the field or performing weed management on the farm, everything is done by hand. This ensures our cannabis is never exposed to anything unnatural or inorganic, which is just a part of our organic promise.
Our solar panels produce 2.5 megawatts of electricity, enough to power the entire facility and operation.
Sustainable Process
With close to 100 acres of land, every inch is fertilized with Certified Organic chicken maure and exclusively irrigated using pure spring water. Recycled plastic is used to prepare our field for when the young plants glow to ten inches tall and are ready to be transplanted in the tilled rows across the farm.
When the plants are ready to harvest we work around the clock to gather biomass while the essential oils of the cannabis are at their peak. In 2020, it took 45 days to complete the harvest using a modified bean harvester and around the clock shifts from our dedicated staff.
The harvested buds then go to our Certified Organic processing facility, where they are sent through our one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art, patented drying and decarboxylation system. The terpenes (essential oils that give cannabis its aroma) are then stored for later use in all of our CBD products.
From there, our buds are dried and prepared for extraction, within seven hours after they are harvested, which ensures our products’ freshness and potency.
To carry out the extraction process, we use our Querrey Boys Open Loop Room Temperature Press. Our open loop extraction, with the addition of our patented dryer and terpene collection system, guarantees that we deliver a full plant spectrum and profile in all of our products. The Cannabidiol is then distilled in our 500L falling film still. Impurities are lifted out during the freezing process, which occurs in a 200L freezer that reaches 90 degrees below zero centigrade.
Our winterized crude is finished in a vacuum reactor and then filtered six times to guarantee our crude is the cleanest and highest quality organic content on the market. The winterized crude is then turned into organic, full-spectrum distillate through our Certified Organic lab and processing facility.
