Origins
The story of Barney’s Farm begins back in the 1980s, when the company’s owner (Derry) embarked on a mission to find, gather and breed the best landrace genetics in the world.
Derry’s adventure saw him exploring the Middle East and Asia from top to bottom, collecting legendary landrace strains from Afghanistan, Tibet, Pakistan, India and Thailand along the way.
By the late 80s, deeply entrenched high in the Himalayas, Derry and a small group of passionate breeders dedicated more than three years to carefully selecting ideal genetics and breeding their strains in the rural, desolate mountains. In 1992, Derry returned home to Amsterdam with his new and successful strains, took charge of Barney's Coffeeshop and discovered the cannabis community's appetites for his unique hybrid strains to be insatiable.

Dedication to Perfection
During his time in the Himalayas, Barney's Farm founder Derry learned first-hand of the crucial importance of selection and experimentation with his phenotypes.
Spending years isolating desirable traits based on fragrance, flavor profile, growth habits and THC content is what led this seed bank to their earliest catalog of painstakingly stabilized specimens embodying the full potential of pot. And it's surely thanks to this that, on his return to Amsterdam, the reputation of Derry's strains was able to spread throughout his homeland and abroad, attracting thousands of cannabis connoisseurs from all over the world.
