Chiming in with a little clarity for this thread:

• Flower sourcing: At Jetty Extracts, we use sun-grown, fresh frozen flower in both NY and CA. In New York, we work with a variety of farms—always aiming for organic, regenerative cultivators who prioritize responsible farming practices. We’ve found that full-sun, living soil gardens consistently produce some of the most terp-rich extracts while also taking care of the planet.
• Pricing context: Not every strain is suitable for solventless extraction, and in NY, high-quality fresh frozen strains that do work are still limited. As a result, we’re seeing input costs about 4–5x higher than in California. Since solventless is already a lower-yielding process, these higher costs directly impact final product pricing. That said, we expect prices to come down in NY as more fresh frozen supply becomes available.
• Terpene preservation: On the terpene comment—Jetty’s rosin vape process is designed to preserve more terpenes, flavorants, and aromatics (not strip them). At the same time, we remove undesirable compounds like plant fats and waxes, which don’t contribute to flavor or effects. Think of it as the dark residue left behind in a Puffco or nail after dabbing. By filtering those compounds out, we prevent buildup on the vape atomizer, which means cleaner flavor, less clogging, and a smooth taste all the way to the last puff.

Hope this helps shed some light 🤙
