At a glance
Fig Farms is a family-owned cannabis breeder and cultivator founded by husband-and-wife team Keith and Chloe Healy. Started as a medical-market brand in 2016, it grew from small Sonoma County rooms into an Oakland cultivation operation recognized for proprietary genetics, phenotype selection and a dense record of flower awards.
Keith and Chloe Healy
Keith and Chloe remain the owners and operators behind Fig Farms. The official site emphasizes that the company has stayed 100% owned by legacy growers without outside partners or investors. Keith leads cultivation and company operations, while published profiles credit Chloe’s garden work and breeding contributions to multiple early cultivars.
House-grow beginnings
High Times traces the name to Keith’s youth near Figueroa Mountain in Santa Barbara County, where memorable local cannabis was called “the fig.” Fig Farms became a medical-market brand in 2016. Its breakout Banana Fig plant was bred and grown on a tiny household scale before the company secured a larger regulated cultivation site.
Breeding philosophy
Fig Farms allocates production space to research and development, breeding its own genetics rather than limiting the catalog to established commercial strains. The company’s public identity rests on unusual morphology and terpene profiles, but subjective terms such as “top-tier” or “exotic” are not objective grades.
Signature cultivars
Banana Fig, Purple Fig, Holy Moly, Blue Face and Animal Face are central to the brand’s history. Animal Face originated with Seed Junky genetics and was selected and cultivated by Fig Farms, while other entries reflect the Healys’ own breeding. Attribution matters: selecting a phenotype is not the same as creating the original cross.
Flower and pre-rolls
Premium packaged flower is the core product. Fig Farms later added pre-rolls after years of concentrating on whole flower. The current strain library and drops vary by state, harvest and cultivation partner, so consumers should treat the live locator and licensed menu as availability evidence rather than assuming every award winner remains in stock.
2017 breakthrough
Banana Fig won first place after Keith and Chloe entered their small 2017 crop in a High Times Northern California Cannabis Cup. High Times reporting describes the win as a turning point that helped the company obtain cultivation space. It was recognition for a named cultivar, not a permanent grade attached to every Fig Farms harvest.
Emerald Cup milestones
Holy Moly took first in the Indoor Flower Breeders Cup at the 2022 Emerald Cup. In 2023, Blue Face won first place Indoor Flower and Best in Show, becoming the first indoor-flower entry reported to receive that overall honor. Forbes also reported that seven Fig Farms strains placed within the top 20 of the 2023 indoor category.
High Times and other results
Forbes records Blue Face taking first in an indica category and Animal Face first in hybrid at a High Times SoCal competition. Fig Farms’ own site accurately summarizes first-place wins at both High Times and the Emerald Cup, but it does not offer a complete result ledger; this page therefore uses cultivar-specific examples instead of an unsupported trophy count.
Where Fig Farms operates. Fig Farms lists flower in California, Illinois and Arizona. State markets use separate regulated supply chains, so cultivation, batch specifications and exact products can differ. Verify the package’s licensed producer, harvest and testing data. This profile explains the breeder and its record; it is not a guarantee that a specific batch matches a past competition entry.
