Claybourne Co. is a Southern California cannabis cultivator, breeder and retail brand founded in 2017 and based in the Inland Empire. The company offers a broad portfolio of flower, pre-roll and concentrate products and is described in the article as one of California’s largest flower brands by retail sales volume. Claybourne sells through independent retailers and directly delivers into underserved “pot deserts” where local retail access is limited. The company emphasizes hands‑on breeding and strict cultivation standards, with attention to each step of the production process. To support expansion and efficiency, Claybourne upgraded its Perris cultivation and distribution facility with new racking, lighting and HVAC equipment to triple canopy square footage and reduce production costs. Leadership includes CEO Nick Ortega, VP of Breeding and Cultivation Brent Barnes, and VP of Marketing Jonathan Griffith. Claybourne is a market-leading cannabis breeder, cultivator and retail brand known for a broad line of flower, pre-rolls and concentrates sold through independent retailers. The company credits rapid product development in the flower space, lean operations and science-based breeding and cultivation for its growth. According to Headset, Claybourne ranked #3 flower brand in California by retail sales and #12 brand overall year-to-date in 2021. Founded in 2017 and originally self-funded with roughly $3 million, the company reports rapid revenue and profit growth in the California market. The new capital will fund a 45,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art cultivation facility in Perris, California, expedite proprietary genetics and support national expansion into promising out-of-state markets. Product investment will prioritize expanding the Claybourne Flyers™ pre-roll line and Claybourne Eagle Extracts™ concentrates.
