SUGARTOP BUDDERY
PROMOTING A NEW STANDARD IN CULTIVATION
SugarTop Buddery is a family-owned and operated cultivator, processor, and wholesale distributor located in Eugene, Oregon. SugarTop began in 2015 as a small indoor garden and was one of the first branded pre-rolls to launch in Oregon. As a company founded by artists and musicians, their core values support the arts within the cannabis community. SugarTop was looking for a tool to give the brand a competitive edge and be an innovator in the industry. Since Oregon has strict industry guidelines, finding both an effective and sustainable nutrient option to integrate into their cultivation operations was important.
To be the best, you must be open to learning and continually improve. We are a small boutique company and do not have endless capital to throw at things we hope will work. Terra Vera over-delivers on results and is a part of my brand because I have trust and faith this product aligns with the community that I am working so hard to build.

SUGARTOP TRANSITIONS TO TERRA VERA TECH
Instead of using an assortment of bottled chemicals commonly used by other growers, Terra Vera installed an onsite generator at the 5,000 sq ft indoor facility and started treating live plants with Terra Vera’s proprietary solution, Remedy (RMD). At a consistent 3:1 foliar application, the cultivation team witnessed an immediate positive impact on the garden.
The safety and efficacy of the chemistry has heightened morale, plant health, and yields. Terra Vera’s onsite generated nutrients has simplified and improved the operations, allowing the cultivation team to replace multiple chemistries that complement their use of beneficial insects.
