What "Farm-Direct" Cannabis Actually Means (and Why It Costs Less)

“Farm-direct” is on our sign, our bags and our website. Here’s what it actually means at TKO, and why it matters for what you pay at the counter.

Most cannabis passes through a lot of hands

In most of Oregon’s market, cannabis takes the long way to the shelf. A farm grows it, a processor or wholesaler buys it, a distributor moves it, and a dispensary finally sells it to you. Every stop adds a markup.

At TKO, the growers own the shop

We’ve been growing since 2010. We started in Seattle’s medical market, earned Jackson County’s first recreational grower license in 2015, and have farmed 60 acres of Southern Oregon ever since. Our Portland shop is the last step in a short chain. Anything with the TKO name goes from our field to our shelf with no middleman in between.

Why that means better everyday prices

Fewer hands means fewer markups. That’s how we keep prices low every day instead of waiting for a sale. It’s the idea behind our Everyday Knockouts: standing low prices, no special day required.

  • A $20 ounce, every day. The strain rotates, but there’s always at least one on the shelf.

  • Bundle deals that make stocking up worthwhile.

  • Tax included. The number on the tag is the number you pay.

You’re buying from people who know the plant

Farm-direct also means knowledge. Our team knows how the flower was grown, when it was harvested and how it was cured, because they know the people who did it. Aroma, flavor and freshness matter as much as the biggest number on the label, so tell us what you’ve enjoyed before and what you’d like to spend, and we’ll help you compare what’s on the shelf. Curious how we dry and cure? Here’s our walk-through.

Not everything on our shelves is ours, and that’s on purpose

Our own TKO lineup sits next to a curated mix of Oregon brands we trust. Those products come from their own producers, so farm-direct doesn’t mean we grow everything we sell. It means our grower roots shape what we stock, and the same standards apply to all of it.

The farm is more than a grow

Our Southern Oregon farm is also home to a sanctuary for rescued steer and alpacas. Caring for the land and the animals on it shapes how we grow. Our mission hasn’t changed: do right by the plant, the product and the place we call home.
