Our Farm Direct model allows Carrubba to achieve a sustainable model of vertical integration. We create a supply process with full transparency and traceability.
For many years, Carrubba, Inc. has embraced the need for traceability and authenticity. We have provided sustainable products through our shared program with farmers across America and other regions of the world.
For more than a decade we have partnered with farmers located in Connecticut and have recently added farmland in Talking Rock, Georgia and Newtown, CT with plans for more expansion slated for the near future.
Operating our own farmland and plantings allows us to control the entire botanical process from seedling to the extract ensuring sustainability and conservation while producing the best and highest quality products. Also, this gives us the versatility to grow specific botanicals that customers require.
An exclusive collection of botanical extracts made from plants grown right on Carrubba's integrated farming operation. Our in-house farming integration allows us to produce plant-based ingredients right from the source, putting the 'ability' in TRACEABLITY and SUSTAINABILITY.
We have decided to integrate multiple farming operations into our business model to provide complete transparency and traceability of the ingredients we use. Carrubba is the closest you can get to the “Farm to Home” model.

Carrubba Farms and Partners
Newtown, Connecticut
Carrubba's 27-acre farm in Newtown, CT is constantly evolving to meet the increasing demand for responsibly sourced botanicals. Plans are in progress to feature a larger barn, additional greenhouses, and other supporting facilities. We maintain our philosophy of “giving back to nature so it keeps going” by collectively harnessing our decades of farming experience and ongoing collaboration with our farmland teams with an intense focus on conservation and protecting our ecosystem. For example, all botanical extract waste from Carrubba production and our R&D laboratories is used to enrich the soil at our farms. Nothing goes to waste.

Talking Rock, Georgia
The 27-acre Georgia farm is found in the quaint town of Talking Rock in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains. It is the third smallest town in the State. The farm utilizes the most efficient ways of keeping the plants healthy while being eco-conscious. Organic practices and “no till farming” are the standard on the farm. This decreases the amount of soil erosion and increases the amount of water that infiltrates the soil, thus allowing greater organic matter retention and nutrient cycling. There are several greenhouses with raised beds to ensure the proper care for the wide diversity of botanicals. The plants are naturally recycled for next year’s crops by cultivating seeds from previous crops for the next generation.
