The Puro advantage
We have two premium cultivation sites in Marlborough, New Zealand.
Our award-winning organic outdoor farm and manufacturing facility produces unique cannabis medicines including high THC, CBD and minor cannabinoid flower and solventless extract material.
Our indoor facility is a specialised research and breeding site to develop novel Aotearoa New Zealand varieties that thrive in our microclimate.
Marlborough is special for cannabis agriculture with unique light spectrum, intense UV radiation and exceptional sunlight hours. Our crops thrive in this premier cannabis cultivation region.
As New Zealand’s largest medicinal cannabis cultivator, and only BioGro certified organic producer in Australasia, we consistently deliver medicinal cannabis of unmatched purity, with unique therapeutic and aromatic compounds.
A rapidly growing market
The cannabis industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. This growth is driven by regulatory change as more countries legislate for medicinal cannabis, and more consumers turn to cannabis products for holistic health benefits, addressing concerns such as anxiety, pain, and sleep disorders. As this market matures, consumers are becoming increasingly educated and discerning, demanding higher standards of quality, consistency, and evidence-based products.
This evolution creates both opportunity and responsibility. At Puro, we continually challenge industry norms through our commitment to organic cultivation, innovative processing methods, and rigorous quality standards.
Live drying creating smoother, better cannabis
Live drying represents the first genuine innovation in cannabis processing in centuries – keeping cannabis as fresh and potent as the day it’s harvested.
Our seven-stage process transforms cannabis preservation through peak harvest, flash freezing, cryo-trimming, freeze drying, precision trimming, controlled curing, and packaging. This preserves cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids more completely than traditional methods.
It enables faster processing, eliminates bottlenecks, and delivers consistent quality without variations between drying racks. We package according to demand, ensuring fresher products reach patients.
As well as enhanced terpene preservation, the approach delivers patients a significantly smoother, gentler experience.
