My Green Network (MGN) has been recognized with two first-place wins and two overall-in-category wins at the inaugural 2025 MJBowl, marking a significant milestone for the California-based production partner. The MJBowl Awards were the first of their kind, putting East Coast and West Coast brands head-to-head, with California and New York producers.
Notable for its culinary-driven edibles and precision solventless manufacturing, MGN won top honors across both the Concentrates and Edibles categories, reflecting the company’s ability to deliver excellence across multiple product formats and to compete with the best in the business, coming out on top.
The winning SKUs, Ay Papi’s Sapphire Thumbprint and Apple Pear Tajín gummies infused with Sour Peaches, were developed and produced by My Green Network in close collaboration with brand and cultivation partners. Together, these honors reinforce MGN’s role as a behind-the-scenes innovator, helping brands translate premium genetics, thoughtful formulation, and disciplined production into products that perform at the highest level of the market.
From sourcing and genetic preservation to flavor development, solventless methodology, and final execution, every stage of production at MGN is approached with intention. But awards only tell part of the story. What truly sets these products apart is the process behind them—the decisions, techniques, and standards that shape each batch long before it ever reaches the shelf.
Here, we’ll take an inside look at how the Apple Pear Tajín Sour Peaches and the Sapphire Thumbprint were brought to life. From the cultivators who stewarded the flower to the formulation, extraction, and finishing methods that defined each product, this is a behind-the-scenes view of what it takes to build award-winning cannabis at the highest level.
MJBowl Award-Winning Edibles: Apple Pear Tajín Gummies
Ay Papi’s Apple Pear Tajín infused with Sour Peaches earned first place and overall-in-category in the MJBowl award Edibles category, standing out for its layered flavor profile, precise formulation, and consistent production quality. Developed by My Green Network’s culinary team, the gummy demonstrates how thoughtful flavor architecture and disciplined manufacturing can elevate a familiar format into a category-leading product.
Edwin Chu, COO of My Green Network and lead gummy chef, explains the philosophy behind the formulation:
“We approached this gummy like a premium confection. The apple and pear needed to stay bright and clean, the Tajín had to add dimension without overwhelming the fruit, and the texture had to be consistent from batch to batch. Our focus was on balance, structure, and repeatability. This award confirms that when culinary thinking meets technical execution, you can create something truly special.”
The live rosin strain Sour Peaches, cultivated by Whitethorn Valley Farms, was an intentional choice as well. Its bright, sweet-sour fruit notes naturally echo the apple and pear base, while its subtle diesel and spice add contrast that deepens the overall flavor without overpowering it. The result is a strain infusion that enhances the gummy’s complexity, reinforcing the fruit-forward profile while adding dimension from first bite through the finish.
From flavor development and ingredient selection to dosing accuracy and final finishing, Ay Papi’s award-winning Apple Pear Tajín gummies reflect MGN’s commitment to edibles crafted with both artistry and operational precision.
MJBowl Award-Winning Concentrates: Sapphire Thumbprint
Ay Papi’s Sapphire Thumbprint took first place and overall-in-category in the Concentrates category, spotlighting My Green Network’s approach to solventless production, genetic preservation, and product design. Conceived collaboratively by MGN’s solventless team, the concept was built around more than potency alone. It was designed to deliver a layered experience that allows each element of the extract to shine on its own or come together as a complete expression of the cultivar.
The Sapphire Thumbprint features distinct solventless components: A Whitethorn Rose solventless THCA diamond in the center, a Ridgeline Rose cold-cure outer ring, and a Whitethorn Rose terpene fraction center with a sprinkle of THCA diamond on top. Originally envisioned under the working name Crème Brûlée, the format was inspired by the idea of a “scoopable” experience, inviting consumers to enjoy each consistency individually, deconstructed, or blended together for a full-spectrum effect that evolves with every dab.
Tim Gonzalez, My Green Network’s Solventless Director, shared insight into the philosophy behind the winning concentrate:
“With the thumbprint, we wanted to create something different. Something that lets each part stand on its own while also coming together as one experience. You can explore it piece by piece or enjoy it all at once. That’s what makes it so fun to work on, and why this win means so much to our team: Austin Fujimoto and Monique Rojas.”
By combining thoughtful product creation with disciplined process control, MGN delivered a concentrate that honors its source material while offering consumers a customizable, terpene-forward experience, one that helped set a new benchmark for what solventless concentrates can be.
Built on Collaboration, Craft, and Consistency
Winning across both edibles and concentrates underscores what defines My Green Network as a production partner. These awards are not simply about individual SKUs. They reflect a broader commitment to process-driven manufacturing, culinary innovation, and collaborative development with brands and cultivators alike.
From early-stage concepting and R&D to full-scale production, My Green Network focuses on building products that are intentional, repeatable, and differentiated in competitive markets. The 2025 MJBowl honors validate this approach and reinforce the company’s role in shaping what premium cannabis products can be.
MGN extends its gratitude to Ay Papi, its cultivation partners Ridgeline Farms, Huckleberry Hill Farms, and Whitethorn Valley Farms, the internal production teams, and the MJBowl judges for recognizing the work behind these award-winning products.
