Ball Family Farms Introduces Rare Breeds

In a groundbreaking move that aims to redefine the landscape of cannabis cultivation, Ball Family Farms (BFF) has announced the launch of Rare Breeds, a remarkable initiative designed to scout, mentor, and propel the next generation of cannabis strain creators into the limelight. This initiative seeks to fill a significant void in the cannabis industry, connecting renowned growers from underground roots to mainstream retail, thereby honoring their contributions to cannabis culture.

For many years, the underground scene has been the heartbeat of the cannabis movement. Yet as the legal marketplace has expanded, those who helped shape this vibrant culture have often found themselves sidelined. Rare Breeds strives to reverse this trend by offering a platform where legacy seed cultivators and self-taught breeders can unleash their potential. “This is about giving real growers a lane,” states Chris Ball, the founder and CEO of Ball Family Farms. “For too long, the people who built this culture have been left out of the legal game. Rare Breeds is how we change that.”

The Rare Breeds initiative will actively seek out outstanding strain creators, whether they're running personal grows or larger licensed facilities. Selected individuals will have the unique opportunity to bring their exclusive strains to market, bolstered by BFF's comprehensive support system. As Chris Ball describes, “We’re not just offering access; we’re providing mentorship and a pathway to success.”

One of the standout figures of this program is Zak “Hoodbaby” Alkatib. A self-taught cultivator, Hoodbaby exemplifies the spirit of Rare Breeds. Connected to BFF through Oscar Figueroa, the Cultivation Facility Manager, Hoodbaby's expertise in cannabis genetics led to an exciting partnership with Ball Family Farms. “With Invader Zim, I’m showing what real craft cannabis can be—no gimmicks, just real terps and real genetics that hit exactly how they should,” he shares.

Hoodbaby’s debut strain, Invader Zim, is generating considerable buzz as the first official release under the Rare Breeds initiative. The strain, a crossbreed of Runtz, Zkittles, and Animal Cookies S1, features an irresistible profile of sweet candy terps fused with sharp citrus notes and a smooth finish. After a successful test run that sold out in just 24 hours, consumers can look forward to the official release set for this June.

Rare Breeds focuses on dismantling the obstacles that have historically barred legacy growers from entering the legal marketplace. With an emphasis on authentic cultivation practices, the initiative offers integrated support covering cultivation techniques, branding strategies, retail planning, and sales execution. Chris Ball emphasizes the program's commitment to maintaining the cultural integrity of cannabis growing while ensuring these growers receive the recognition they deserve.

As the cannabis industry evolves, initiatives like Rare Breeds are crucial for fostering innovation, inclusivity, and authenticity, heralding a new era where the legacy of cannabis cultivation is celebrated and rewarded.
