Soil Food Web Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At FRX Ohio, exceptional cannabis begins with exceptional cultivation. As one of the largest Certified Kind cannabis cultivators in the United States, we are committed to growing cannabis with integrity, transparency, and an unwavering focus on quality. Because cannabis cannot be certified USDA Organic under current federal law, the Certified Kind program provides an independent, third-party verification modeled after internationally recognized organic standards. Through rigorous inspections and accountability, Certified Kind cultivators demonstrate their commitment to producing cannabis with respect for both people and the planet. 

Everything we do starts with our living soil, which is an active ecosystem of beneficial bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that naturally cycle nutrients, support vigorous plant growth, and promote resilience. Rather than simply feeding the plant, we cultivate a thriving soil food web that allows each cultivar to fully express its unique cannabinoid and terpene profile while producing healthy, vibrant plants. By working with biological systems instead of relying on synthetic inputs, we produce cannabis that is true to its genetics and rich in the compounds that make every cultivar unique. 

We proudly offer flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vaporizers, and edibles through our family of brands, including FRX, Anthos Organics, Common Citizen, Local Edibles, and Cannarocks. Every product reflects the same care, consistency, and attention to detail that goes into every harvest.
