Oakland, Calif. –
Fig Farms, a family-owned and operated cannabis cultivator, is pleased to announce their triumphant results from this year’s Emerald Cup Awards. The famed event took place on May 13, 2023 at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California.
Fig Farms took home nine trophies, including 1st place Indoor Flower and Best in Show for their in-house bred cultivar Blue Face. The winning strain belongs to the OG’s and Gas classification, with fifteen detectible terpenes and a complex profile of acetone, tree bark and pickled ginger.
2023 marks the second year in a row that Fig Farms has received 1st place in the Emerald Cup’s Indoor Flower category, having won with their popular Animal Face in 2022.
Blue Face notably received the Cup’s “Best in Show” award; the first Indoor Flower to receive the honor, having previously been bestowed exclusively to the Sungrown Flower category until now.
Founded in 2016, Fig Farms is still entirely owned and operated by Keith and Chloe Healy, a husband and wife team. Seven of Fig Farms entries made the Emerald Cup’s Top 20, a testament to the consistency and quality of the flowers produced by the Healys at their facility in Oakland, California. Their phenotype selection sets them apart from the competition and pushes the boundaries of how AAA flower can look, smell and smoke.
“I am so proud of our team, and truly honored in a way that cannot be put into words,” relays Keith, who is also Fig Farms’ CEO. “Having Blue Face recognized as Best In Show, an honor solely held by Sungrown Flower throughout the Cup’s history, is monumental. And earning the top spot two years running for our Indoor Flower speaks volumes. The love we received at the Emerald Cup has been elevated to a new level.”
The award wins could not have come at a better time for the Sonoma-born and Oakland based brand, as they prepare for nationwide expansion. Fig Farms strains are currently available in licensed retailers throughout California, Illinois and Arizona, and the company has recently launched an edibles product line.
About Fig Farms

The husband and wife team of Fig Farms has outlasted its competition by maintaining 100% company ownership. Founded in 2016 by legacy farmers and breeders Keith and Chloe Healy, the brand is known for its phenotype selection, which sets them apart from the competition. Each phenotype selected by Fig Farms exhibits the maximum amount of plant expression, with bracts, calyxes and bud structures that are unreplicatable by the competition. Nationwide demand for Fig Farms flowers has prompted the push outside of California’s boundary and into other recreational states. Fig Farms flowers are now available in California, Illinois and Arizona.
