Errganix Hemp Farm is This Year’s Hemp Flower Champion

The Taste of Texas Hemp Cup recognizes cultivators throughout the state for offering superior products. Errganix Hemp Farm won this year’s flower competition with its Michigan Cherries submission.

“It feels pretty good,” said Eric Goodman, owner of Errganix. “It feels deserved. I worked hard for it.”

Errganix is no stranger to the Taste of Texas Hemp Cup. In 2022, the brand took the top prize in the People’s Choice category and second place for best flower.

“The flower that I submitted this time was a lot better than the flower I submitted last time, so my competition was myself,” Goodman said. “I was trying to beat myself and succeeded.”

Michigan Cherries is a cross between the Tropical Cherries and GMO strains, Goodman said.

“It was a lime green with purple on the inside,” Goodman said. “The bud was really crystally, so even when you break it in half, it was really frosty and covered in trichomes. And the trichomes were intact, which means the weed wasn’t smashed or sitting around,”

A longtime grower, Goodman said he took a liking to cultivating plants as a young boy.

“The way I grew up, matter of fact, in our age in elementary school, sprouting beans and bringing the plant to school was just part of the grade,” he said. “I had carrots and beans in elementary school in our backyard. It was just fascinating.”

Later, Goodman said he was inspired to grow cannabis using lessons learned in Ed Rosenthal’s book, Closet Cultivator.

While Goodman was optimistic he would win this year’s top prize, he said he did not have a speech prepared for the big win.

“I just let the flower do the talking,” he said. “Everybody out here in Austin knows my flower. I’m always sold out.”
