Join an Employer of Choice – Apothecary Farms

At Apothecary Farms, we take a natural, hands-on approach to every step of the process—from cultivation to concentrate to customer.

Our award‑winning extraction team transforms living plant material into some of the finest concentrates in Colorado and Oklahoma, specializing in solventless live hash rosin and live resin crafted to capture the true essence of the strain.

Inside our retail locations, we keep the same commitment to quality and transparency—everyday low pricing, fresh weekly drops, and a welcoming environment where education and experience come first. From seed to shelf, Apothecary Farms represents a vertically integrated vision built around purity, consistency, and community.
