The Story

Founded after Adam Grossman used a slow-cooker to formulate a cannabis balm that relieved his father ("Papa") Mort's chronic back pain and brought him home from hospice. The family dog, a pit bull named Barkley, lends the other half of the name. The "kitchen recipe" Releaf Balm remains the flagship nearly a decade later.

100% solventless extraction — lipid infusion with coconut oil + rosin pressing
No hydrocarbons
Full-spectrum whole-plant formulations (the "Entourage Effect")
The "Right Ratio" philosophy — CBD:THC:CBN ratios designed for specific therapeutic jobs
Sun-grown Emerald Triangle sourcing
Clinical-style efficacy testing (e.g., 90-person, 2-week Sleep Releaf study)
