Barney’s Farm x BackPack Boyz: A No-Nonsense Collaboration

When two major players in the cannabis world like BackPack Boyz and Barney’s Farm decide to collaborate, it’s bound to be a woah moment. Juan Quesada, co-founder of BackPack Boyz, and Derry Brett, the mastermind behind Barney’s Farm, are both well-established in their respective fields of the cannabis industry. Their new partnership isn’t just a business move—it’s a blend of years of experience, shared goals, and a commitment to quality.

“We got my boy Derry, the man, the myth, the legend” Juan said. “We’ve been working together for a while now, and I’m telling you—we’re making magic happen.” But this isn’t about flash or hype—it’s about making good cannabis, period.

BackPack Boyz: Keeping It Fresh

BackPack Boyz has carved out a space in the cannabis market by focusing on premium genetics and exotic strains. Their brand is built around high-quality products, and their reputation is solid within the industry.

Their emphasis on rare genetics and top-tier strains has made them one of the most respected names in the business, but they’re not about to rest on their laurels. This collaboration with Barney’s Farm brings a fresh perspective and new ideas to the table.

Barney’s Farm: A Global Legacy in Genetics

On the other side of the globe, Barney’s Farm has been a mainstay in the cannabis world for decades. Founded in Amsterdam in the 90s, the company has bred some of the most famous strains in the world, like Amnesia Haze and Pineapple Chunk. Derry Brett’s vision for Barney’s Farm has made it one of the most influential names in the seeds game.

“We’ve been around for a long time,” Derry says. “We’re constantly looking for ways to stay fresh. Collaborations like this keep us excited about what we’re doing. They bring new ideas and help us push the envelope.” For Derry, staying relevant in a competitive market means continuing to innovate, and working with BackPack Boyz is one way to do that.

The Bubble Gum Strain: A Product of Trial and Error

The first product of this collaboration is the Bubble Gum Gelato strain, which is set to launch soon. The process of creating it wasn’t a quick one. “It’s all about trial and error,” says Juan. “We’re constantly testing, trying things, and figuring out what stands out. When you’ve been in the game as long as we have, you know what works and what doesn’t.”

This strain isn’t just another product; it’s a reflection of the hard work and testing that went into creating something unique. “We’ve been working on this for a while,” Derry adds. “This is a genetic we’ve developed together, and it’s something we’re proud of.” Bubble Gum Gelato is now available in seed form. 

A Long-Term Partnership

Juan and Derry didn’t start this collaboration thinking it would be a one-off deal. “From day one, I knew this wasn’t going to be a one-and-done thing,” Juan says. “We’ve got a lot more to come. This is the start of a long-term partnership.”

The two are constantly talking, brainstorming new ideas, and finding ways to innovate. “The more we hang out, the more we talk, the more possibilities come out of it,” says Derry. “We’re always coming up with new things. That’s the exciting part of working together.”

Looking Ahead

For now, the launch of Bubble Gum Gelato marks a milestone in a partnership that will undoubtedly shape the future of cannabis. With both brands pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, it’s clear that this collaboration isn’t just about making great weed—it’s about creating new possibilities for what cannabis can be.
