Carroll County Cannabis Company unveils five new FreeWorld Genetics cultivars, building on Missouri’s favorite genetics

Sweet Heat, Bam Bam, Red Dawn #12, and Icebox Pie continue the legacy of Orange Cookie Chem and Tropical Chem.

Carroll County Cannabis Company is proud to announce the launch of five new premium cannabis cultivars from acclaimed breeder FreeWorld Genetics: Sweet Heat, Bam Bam, Red Dawn #12, Cherry Breath, and Icebox Pie. The release strengthens the company’s longstanding partnership with FreeWorld Genetics, the breeding team behind two of Missouri’s most celebrated cultivars, Orange Cookie Chem and Tropical Chem.

Known for producing Clean Green® Certified flower, Carroll County Cannabis Company has earned a reputation for combining elite genetics with expert cultivation. The company’s lineup of fan favorites, including Bubba Fett, Super Lemon Haze, Orange Cookie Chem, Tropical Chem, and Greenway Magazine’s Flower Cultivar of the Year, Belushi’s Farm Mule Fuel, has established the brand as one of Missouri’s premier cannabis cultivators.

The first Missouri-based brand to break ground in the state, Carroll County Cannabis Company has built its reputation on combining elite genetics with sustainable cultivation practices. Since the launch of Missouri’s medical cannabis program in 2020, the company has thrived under its Clean Green® Certification, cultivating every harvest in living soil while utilizing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to grow without chemical pesticides. From composting organic material to reducing waste and choosing packaging with a lower environmental impact, Carroll County Cannabis Company remains committed to producing premium cannabis with a lighter carbon footprint.

That commitment to clean cultivation provides the ideal foundation for bringing exceptional genetics to life. Several of the new cultivars share lineage with the same Orange Cookie family that made Orange Cookie Chem a standout success, showcasing FreeWorld Genetics’ continued refinement of genetics prized for their resin production, terpene expression, and unmistakable flavor. The result is a collection of cultivars that builds upon proven genetics while delivering entirely new experiences for Missouri cannabis consumers.

For Austin Larner, founder of FreeWorld Genetics, the search for exceptional cannabis is what drives every breeding project.

“It’s finding the one strain in a thousand that turns your head and stops you in your tracks,” said Larner. “When you open a jar and smell it, and you have to ask, ‘What is going on? That is amazing!’ We do all of this to create that moment and share it with other people. That’s why we do what we do, for that feeling. If we can take that feeling and share it with others, that’s the point… spread it all around.”

That philosophy has resonated in Missouri through C4’s Orange Cookie Chem and Tropical Chem, and it continues with these new releases. Bam Bam, a hard-hitting indica, has already generated excitement after testing above 30% THC, making it one of the most potent cultivars Carroll County Cannabis Company has produced to date. Cherry Breath, Sweet Heat, Red Dawn #12, and Icebox Pie add distinctive aromas, standout bag appeal, and the complex flavor profiles that have become hallmarks of the FreeWorld Genetics roster.

“Last year we launched Belushi’s Farm and spent a ton of time revamping our garden and making sure that brand was rolled out the right way,” said Brandon Green, President of Carroll County Cannabis Company. “In 2025, C4 was recognized as Cultivator of the Year by Greenway readers, and Mule Fuel was named Flower Cultivar of the Year. I’m incredibly proud of our team’s effort to make that happen. This year we refocused on C4 and what we needed to keep our company relevant while complementing the legacy strains we’ve been growing since 2020. With help from Scout and Seed, we were able to secure these new genetics, and I think it’s a great mix of new varieties. We’re very excited about the potential for Q3, Q4, and into 2027.”

CEO Tyler Klein says the integration of FreeWorld Genetics cultivars has contributed to C4’s success.

“We started with Orange Cookie Chem and Tropical Chem back in 2020 by chance, and they’re winners to the Missouri people,” said Klein. “Working with FreeWorld Genetics again allows us to build on that success while introducing consumers to new cultivars that carry the same level of quality, uniqueness, and potency.”

And, when it comes to recommendations, FreeWorld’s Austin Larner doubles down on that sentiment, “Bam Bam is a good combination between its parents, it’s a real head knocker. I’m excited to see how Missourians respond to it.”

Director of C4’s Cultivation, Trevor Stadler, agrees, “I think the team and I are most excited about Bam Bam. It’s definitely for the more experienced cannabis enthusiasts out there.”

With C4’s strain roster of classics, trying out new strains can be a feat for any cultivation team, especially when it comes to scalability.

“Though all strains are looking great in the garden. I think our team has done a phenomenal job with these new genetics, and their outputs are a testament to a well-seasoned, loyal cultivation team,” said Stadler.

The collaboration between FreeWorld Genetics and Carroll County Cannabis Company represents a shared commitment to pursuing extraordinary cannabis, from identifying the rare, unforgettable phenotype to cultivating it with precision, consistency, and scalability. It’s a partnership built on the belief that exceptional genetics deserve exceptional stewardship, resulting in flower that surprises, delights, and keeps consumers coming back. The new FreeWorld Genetics lineup from Carroll County Cannabis Company has already rolled out in parts of Missouri with much praise, and will be arriving soon at dispensary partners throughout all Missouri.
