Landrace Bureau is a cannabis seed company. Its website, landracebureau.com, sells seed of lines it describes as landraces and wild or feral populations, from Russia, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Xinjiang and elsewhere, alongside hybrids of its own breeding. The site says that the company was established in 2015 and that it operates from Spain.[1] Its listings credit its Kazakh and Crimean seed to the Russian Landrace Bureau.[2][3]
The company in its own words
The company's SeedFinder profile says that its aim is "to act as Guardians of the Lost Terps and conserve pure Landrace and heirloom cannabis genetics on which all quality cannabis breeding depends". The same text says that after preservation, "Guardian of the Lost Terps works on breeding Landrace varieties with modern polyhybrid strains".[4] One of its hybrids, White Afghani, is described there as "Bred by us in the Guardian of the Lost Terps Series in 2018".[5]
The website's about text says that Landrace Bureau sells cannabis seed only "as collectible souvenirs and genetic-conservation items". It says that it sources seed through partners in countries where producing it is lawful.[1] Some of its listings describe its team bringing seed back to the United States and breeding work in Alaska. Its Siberian Hulk listing says that the line's F2 was made outdoors in a 100-plant phenotype hunt in Homer, Alaska, in 2019 and its F3 in 2022.[6][7]
Collected seed
Russia and Kazakhstan
The company's Kazakhstan listing describes wild-type seed collected in the southern Qarataū, in Jambyl Region. Its sourcing line reads "Russian Landrace Bureau Kazakhstan, 2019".[2] The Real Seed Company and its second shop, Kwik Seeds, sold seed of a 2019 Jambyl collection under the name Kazakh Ruderalis and credit it to the Russian Landrace Bureau.[8][9] That collection is recorded at Kazakh Ruderalis General Population 2019. The Ukrainian Crimea Hash Plant listing says that its seed was "Sourced directly from wild populations in Crimea by the Russian Landrace Bureau", from the lower slopes of Roman-Kosh.[3]
Several Siberian listings, among them Wild Siberian, Pink Siberian and Black Russian, describe seed from feral plants at Lake Chebarkul, sold "not reproduced".[6][10][11] The Kurgan Bashkortostan listing says that its seed was hand-collected in feral fields in Kurgan Oblast, near the border with Kazakhstan.[12] The company presents these lines as autoflowering ruderalis and sells them as regular seed.[6][12]
Of its Siberian Ruderalis, Khalifa Genetics writes: "Our friend “Guardian of the Lost Terps”, a member of the “Russian Landrace Bureau” handpicked the seeds (The first generation) directly at source."[13] Landrace Bureau's SeedFinder entry for its Siberian Landrace Bashkortostan refers growers to Khalifa Genetics for instructions on germinating Russian landrace seed.[14]
China and Nepal
The Xinjiang Landrace listing says that the seed was obtained "through travel in 2017 near the Kazakstani boarder of Almaty". The company says that it has preserved and reproduced the line.[15]
In 2026 the company listed four Nepalese lines that it calls 2026 accessions: two from the Kangchenjunga range in eastern Nepal and two from the Kathmandu Valley.[16][17][18][19] It dates the Kangchenjunga seed to an expedition in February 2026. The seed came from family farms and mountainside plots, according to the listing.[16][17] The website also offers places on a small-group field expedition to Nepal in October and November 2026.[1]
Seed from other collectors
Some listings name another source. The company says that its Tashkurgan seed came from a seed swap with The Real Seed Company, from Balkh Province in northern Afghanistan, in winter 2018.[20] Its SeedFinder entry for the line says that the seed was "Aquired in Seed Swap with Angus for my Siberian, Ukrainian, Kazakstan, Kurgan".[21] The company says that its Lashkar Gah seed, from Helmand, was a gift. The listing credits Landrace Warden with obtaining it from local farmers.[22] Pakistani Pink is an F1 from Chitral seed that the listing says was collected by Trident Seeds.[23] The company says that its Eswatini line, Swazi Gold, came in a small amount from its "Landrace Network Team in Africa".[24]
Hybrids
In October 2026 SeedFinder listed 35 lines under Landrace Bureau, most of them crosses with modern hybrids. Several use its collected seed as a parent, for example Siberian GG#4 (Siberian Landrace Bashkortostan × GG#4) and Xinjiang x Siberian.[4][25] The company describes its Rugo Monteto series as a collaboration between Landrace Bureau, Ruga Monteto and Simply Professional Formula Nutrients. Lavender Silk, from that series, has the Tashkurgan line as one parent.[26] The website also sells feminised seed of its photoperiod and autoflowering hybrids in bulk.[1]
