Ohio Farmers Cup is more than a cannabis competition. It’s a celebration of home growers, an educational experience, and a community-driven event that uplifts the culture from the ground up.
Hosted at the OhioCannabis.com Festival on May 17 in Frazeysburg, the Cup brings together cultivators, connoisseurs, and curious newcomers for a transparent, fair, and authentic judging process. If you’ve ever wondered how it works — here’s your guide.

🔍 How Judging Works at the Ohio Farmers Cup
To ensure fairness, the Cup uses blind judging. This means each participant receives unmarked flower samples — no packaging, no strain names, no grower info. Everyone evaluates the entries based solely on quality.
- 🌿 Judged on aroma, structure, cure, and overall experience
- 👥 Judging is 100% community-based using People’s Choice kits
- 🧠 Scoring is submitted anonymously through a secure online system
Because of this format, the Ohio Farmers Cup stays transparent and inclusive. Every grower has a fair shot, and every vote truly counts.
🌱 What Growers Gain From the Cup
Top growers receive community recognition, social media features, and a spotlight on OhioCannabis.com. In addition, they earn massive respect from the local scene.
Each category highlights unique strengths — from aroma to innovation — so even small growers have chances to stand out. As a result, the Cup becomes a launching pad for rising talent.
Winners also receive a one-of-a-kind physical award: a custom 3″ collector coin handcrafted by Osborne Mint in Cincinnati, Ohio — the oldest private mint in America. These awards represent real craftsmanship and symbolize achievement in Ohio’s emerging cannabis culture.
Additional prizes include LED grow lights from Horticulture Lighting Group (HLG), high-quality grow equipment, and premium genetics donated by our growing network of vendors and community supporters.
🤝 Why the Ohio Farmers Cup Matters to the Community
Unlike brand-dominated contests, this one is grassroots. It gives home growers a place to compete and connect. At the same time, it encourages ethical growing, education, and cooperation over commercialization.
Above all, the Cup represents progress. Legal home grow is still new in Ohio, and this event helps establish a strong foundation for what’s next.
