Sun-grown wellness for the planet & its people

Setting the standard for holistic wellness alternatives, SunMed is one of only two growers in Maryland that cultivates exclusively with full-spectrum sunlight. From our house-made, renewable soils to our state-of-the-art regenerative greenhouse practices and biodegradable packaging, we care for the planet as much as we care about our people.

The Sun-Grown Difference.

Studies have shown that cannabis grown in natural sunlight can provide a more diverse range of therapeutic compounds compared to flowers grown in artificial, indoor lighting, making it the preferred choice for people who prioritize clean and holistic products and more natural treatment protocols for chronic illness and pain. Full-spectrum sunlight can also enhance the development of THC, terpenes, flavonoids and cannabinoids to deliver a more robust terpene profile and a fuller bouquet of cannabinoids for cannabis connoisseurs and sustainability-focused people alike.

Sustainability

SunMed Growers is constantly evolving our greenhouse technologies to drive more sustainable biological processes, operations and products that lower our carbon footprint and help our customers do the same. Our state-of-the-art greenhouse allows for precise control of the natural elements while reducing the energy resources required for indoor cultivation.

Natural vs. artificial sunlight

REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT

While indoor cannabis cultivation can produce higher yields and quality for some strains, it requires a lot of energy to artificially maintain the temperature, humidity, lighting cycles and air ventilation required of the plants. Relying largely on natural sunlight for cultivation reduces the amount of energy required to grow healthy plants while allowing us to lessen our carbon footprint.

Advanced greenhouse technology

State-of-the-art

Our Dutch-style greenhouse, developed across generations of Van Wingerden family farmers, cultivates clean cannabis packed with rich terpenes and complex flavor profiles made possible by full-spectrum sunlight. Equipped with the most advanced technology – and the most committed team - in the industry, our flowers receive optimal natural light transmission and some old-fashioned TLC to craft the best buds under the sun – literally.

Crafted & Curated

For the Connoisseur

Full-spectrum sunlight cultivates more diverse terpene profiles and a fuller bouquet of cannabinoids than artificial light, delivering strains and buds with more complex flavors, aromas and effects.

More complex terpenes

Flowers with diverse and rich terpene profiles offer more distinctive aromas, flavors and effects as they interact with cannabinoids and other compounds in the cannabis plant, providing a more powerful and balanced experience.

Higher flavonoids

Flavonoids are compounds that not only give plants their color but also interact with terpenes in the cannabis flower, which can enhance its sensory qualities. Buds with higher levels of flavonoids have been reported to stimulate a more balanced and powerful experience.

Enhanced THC

Cannabis plants with higher levels of THC can be associated with more intense and longer-lasting effects. Certain high-THC strains have also been reported to provide greater relief from chronic and acute pain or illness.
