SUN CERTIFIED: Leven's New Standard for Craft Outdoor Flower

How Leven Therapeutics is Elevating Sun Grown Cannabis to Bag-Ready Quality.

Leven Therapeutics believes that the future of cannabis is ready to witness and experience a new grade of cannabis on the shelf — and it’s grown under the sun.

This spring, Leven Therapeutics officially launched their Sun Certified Program, a new initiative dedicated to recognizing and elevating Canada’s finest outdoor cannabis cultivators. Their mission is clear: bring sun grown flower to bag-ready grade — beautiful, terp-rich, premium-quality cannabis that earns a place beside the industry’s best indoor craft flower.

Too often, sun grown cannabis is dismissed as “biomass/low grade,” relegated to extraction or discounted bulk sales. Leven Therapeutics see things differently. Sun grown cannabis is expressive, sustainable, and, when grown right, absolutely world-class. The challenge has never been the plant — it’s been the perception. That’s what they are here to change.

What Does "Sun Certified" Mean.

Sun Certified is more than a badge — it’s a standard. The Leven Team works directly with outdoor cultivators who farm with intention: small-batch lots, rich organic soils, full-season cycles, and a deep respect for the land. They assess each farm’s genetics, post-harvest care, and cure, then offer support to bring that flower to a bag-ready grade that rivals indoor.

This isn’t mass outdoor farming. These are generational farmers — growers who listen to the rhythm of nature and work with the sun, not against it.

Through Sun Certified Program, the Leven Therapeutics Team provides:

• Post-harvest QA support

• Custom drying & curing consultation

• Packaging partnerships with top Canadian brands

• Market access across Canada and global export channels

• Consumer focused education

Why It Matters, Now More Then Ever.

With rising energy costs and a global push for environmental responsibility, outdoor cultivation is having its moment. Consumers are smarter. They care where their cannabis comes from. And retailers are beginning to notice the terpene-rich, cannabinoid-dense expression that only a full-spectrum sun-grown plant can offer.

Still, the industry lacks a unified standard for what high-quality outdoor really means. That’s where Leven's "Sun Certified Program" steps in — not just to recognize excellence, but to support it, improve it, and scale it.

A New Chapter for Outdoor Cannabis in Canada.

Canada is home to some of the most experienced outdoor cultivators in the world, yet most never see their name on a finished bag. The Leven team want to change that narrative — and help the next generation of outdoor farmers build legacy brands that stand beside the top names in the craft space.

Sun Certified is a platform, a support system, and a new path to the top shelf. And this is just the beginning.

If you’re a cultivator, brand, or distributor ready to explore the potential of premium outdoor, we invite you to connect with the Leven Therapeutics Team.

Together, let’s bring sun grown to its rightful place — front and center.
