5 Things I Love About RVR: Arkansas Cannabis Excellence in Fort Smith

If you've ever talked to me for more than an hour, I've probably mentioned how much I love RVR. This boutique cannabis cultivation facility located in Fort Smith, Arkansas has captured my heart for countless reasons. Today, I'm consolidating them into my top 5 favorite things about this exceptional Arkansas medical marijuana cultivator—because I know you're busy this highliday season, and your time is precious.

Why RVR Stands Out Among Arkansas Cannabis Cultivators

RVR isn't just another grow facility in Arkansas's medical marijuana program. This small-batch, craft cannabis producer has built a reputation for quality, innovation, and genuine care for the Arkansas cannabis community. From their award-winning flower strains to their expertly crafted concentrates and edibles, RVR consistently delivers premium cannabis products that Arkansas medical marijuana patients can trust.

1. Ryan Kenaga: Arkansas Extract Expert & Cannabis Mentor

President extraordinaire Ryan Kenaga became my first cannabis mentor when we met over three years ago. From our first dinner at Fort Smith's Leverett Lounge, I was captivated by Ryan's deep expertise in cannabis extraction (he's known as Uncle Extract, after all) and his genuinely kind spirit.

Since then, I've had the privilege of collaborating with Ryan on extracting our house flower, In The Flow, creating true Arkansas concentrate magic. His extraction techniques bring out the best in every strain, preserving terpene profiles and cannabinoid potency.

Currently available RVR concentrates to try:

• Lilac Lemon Burger Cured Resin Vape Cart - A one-of-a-kind Arkansas cannabis concentrate that showcases the unique terpene profile of this exceptional strain

• Oreoz Live Resin Vape Cart - This live resin cartridge perfectly captures the essence of the beloved Oreoz flower, delivering rich flavor and potent effects

Both vape cartridges demonstrate Ryan's mastery of cannabis extraction, preserving the authentic characteristics of their flower counterparts.

2. #GirlHash: Megan Phelan's Live Rosin Artistry

Gah, I'm obsessed with Megan Phelan and watching her press live rosin. Seriously, being welcomed inside the RVR cultivation facility is one of the great honors of my life. Getting to observe Meg in the extraction lab, perfectly timing my visits to see her loading those rosin bags with precision and care—it's cannabis craftsmanship at its finest.

Her solventless extraction technique has refined over the years, now rich with the experience and that perfect touch that only comes from dedication to the craft. Live rosin is one of the purest forms of cannabis concentrate available, and Megan's skill ensures RVR's live rosin products are top-tier in Arkansas's medical marijuana market.

What makes live rosin special? This solventless concentrate uses only heat and pressure to extract cannabinoids and terpenes, resulting in a clean, flavorful, and potent product that cannabis connoisseurs appreciate.

3. Maximizing Space: Vertical Cannabis Cultivation Innovation

This small but mighty facility utilizes every square inch of space at their disposal. RVR's two-tiered grow rooms with custom rack systems are a masterclass in vertical efficiency—proving you don't need massive square footage to produce incredible cannabis.

The vertical growing approach allows RVR to:

• Maximize plant count while maintaining quality control
• Optimize environmental conditions for each cultivation tier
• Reduce overhead costs while maintaining craft-quality standards
• Maintain the boutique, small-batch approach that sets their products apart

This efficient use of space is part of what makes RVR a truly boutique Arkansas cannabis cultivator, focusing on quality over quantity at every step of the growing process.

4. RVR Fall Caramels: Perfectly Dosed Cannabis Edibles

Those Fall Caramels though... Perfect for the season, consistently dosed, and honestly? Just eat them. Trust me on this one.

RVR's cannabis-infused caramels represent everything that edibles should be: delicious, reliably dosed, and effective. Whether you're a medical marijuana patient looking for smoke-free consumption options or simply prefer the convenience of edibles, these seasonal treats deliver consistent results every time.

Why choose RVR edibles?

• Precise dosing for predictable effects
• High-quality cannabis extract
• Delicious flavor that doesn't compromise on potency
• Perfect for patients who prefer not to inhale cannabis

5. Premium RVR Flower Strains: The Arkansas Cannabis Flower Power Trio

We can't talk about RVR cannabis without celebrating Kristi Hensley, the cultivation expert who runs the roost! Kristi's meticulous attention to every stage of the flower's journey—from propagation to harvest—shows in these standout Arkansas cannabis strains:

Halloween Special

Once you've gotten your nose on this aromatic strain, you'll understand why it's become an RVR signature. The terpene profile on Halloween Special is unforgettable, delivering both fragrance and flavor that cannabis enthusiasts crave.

E85 & Two Zig Zags

Why can't I say E85 without adding "& two Zig Zags"? Y'all tell me. This strain has become synonymous with quality in Arkansas's medical marijuana community, known for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics.

Banjo

Proudly touted as the "Number one Sativa in the state," Banjo delivers the uplifting, energizing effects that sativa lovers seek. This Arkansas-grown strain exemplifies what craft cannabis cultivation can achieve.

BONUS #6: The RVR Team—Where Cannabis Cultivation Meets Compassion

A special shoutout to Drew (Director of Cultivation) and Nikki (Director of Propagation) and their cute, budding love story. You two make me believe that love truly is the secret nutrient all cannabis plants need.

The entire RVR team—from cultivation to extraction to packaging—demonstrates genuine care for the Arkansas medical marijuana community. It's this dedication that sets RVR apart in Arkansas's cannabis industry.
