Halfmoon
Lineage
Positioning
A heritage cannabis farm on the Mendocino coast. Three generations of one family. Adult, plain, family-rooted — not nostalgic, not theatrical.
A European seed bank scaling into US-licensed markets. Herbarium-grade provenance, three generations of genetic documentation, lineage cards printed in Barcelona.
Audience
Adult-use consumers who started smoking before legalization. Aging-up customer base that wants cannabis from someone they trust.
Licensed cultivators (US + EU). Breeders and cannabis researchers who buy lineage cards, not seeds.
Voice
Plain-spoken, weathered, slightly skeptical of new brands. The voice of a sixty-five-year-old grower who has seen this market arrive late.
Botanical, archival, deeply technical without being dry. Less "seed enthusiast," more "licensed cultivator."
Style
Cream + warm brown + terra clay accent. Editorial serif type. Documentary farm photography.
Cream parchment + deep forest green. Taxonomic typography. Lineage cards printed in Barcelona shipped with every pack.
Avoids
Theatrical heritage cosplay, 1990s herb shop packaging, stoner imagery, false rusticism
Modern startup voice, marketing-layered authenticity, anonymous/commodity seed packaging, hype copy

Lineage
"Acapulco Gold, lineage verified. Originated coastal Guerrero, c. 1960s. Stored at 4°C."
"Three generations of breeder documentation. Phenotype hunters credited."
