Our recent B2B Hash Showcase at Meadow HQ was a celebration of the community and craftsmanship that define California hash making. As part of SF Hash Week, this event brought together legacy farmers, master hash makers, and local retailers to connect, share exceptional hash, and dive deep into the art of master hash making. We were joined by The Sensi Society, Bay Care Delivery, Vapor Room, and more, who all had the opportunity to meet with the OGs and legacy brands to prepare purchase orders in anticipation of 7/10.
What is Hash and Its History?
Hash, or hashish, is a concentrated form of cannabis made by compressing or purifying the resin glands of the cannabis plant, known as trichomes. This powerful concentrate has been produced and consumed for centuries, with deep roots in regions like India, Nepal, Turkey, and Egypt. Hash offers a potent way to experience the full effects of the cannabis plant, capturing its essence in a compact form.
Connecting Growers and Makers with Their Customers
In the California cannabis industry, growers and makers face significant barriers to marketing and direct sales due to stringent regulations. Traditional marketing channels and direct consumer interactions are restricted, making it challenging for small, craft businesses to connect with customers. Events like the B2B Hash Showcase provide a platform to highlight these artisans, shine a light on their exceptional products, and keep the craft alive in California.
By creating opportunities for growers and makers to connect with customers and retailers, we help their products reach a broader audience. This exposure is essential for sustaining the craft cannabis industry, fostering innovation, and maintaining the rich heritage of hash making. Such events also promote a sense of community and shared purpose, reinforcing the importance of supporting local, small-scale producers.

710, or 7/10, is considered a “stoner” holiday for consuming cannabis oil products, dabs, or concentrates. The term 710 rotated upside down spells OIL, a word used to describe highly potent cannabis products such as hash oil, shatter, wax, and so on. The holiday occurs on July 10th - Weedmaps
Looking Ahead to 7/10
We're partnering with SF Hash Week to host several events to celebrate with the community. Here's the full schedule.
Meadow's journey with craft California hash began with Frenchy Cannoli and his award-winning Key Lime Reserve. Our CEO, Hua, learned directly from the master himself about the history and techniques of Frenchy's signature ice water hash and temple balls, enjoying some of the best conversations around his hookah. Catching up with Madame Cannoli and Belle, his apprentice-turned-master, at the Hash Showcase was a true highlight. If you haven’t seen Frenchy’s documentary film, FRENCHY DREAMS OF HASHISH, we highly recommend it. Join us for a screening as part of SF Hash Week on July 11th at Meadow HQ.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all the incredible producers and innovators who shared their craft at the B2B Hash Showcase. Your dedication to excellence keeps the art of cannabis cultivation vibrant and evolving.
Special shoutout to David Downs, the creative force behind SF Weed Week, for bringing our community together in celebration.
This showcase was just the beginning. We look forward to continuing to support and celebrate the legacy and future of cannabis. The passion, expertise, and camaraderie displayed at Meadow HQ reinforce our commitment to fostering a thriving, innovative cannabis community.
Thank you for being part of this journey. 🌿✨
