The Headies Cup 2023: Homegrow Winners Gallery & Rankings

Heady Vermont Staff 23 May 2023

Thanks to everyone who attended last weekend’s Fourth Annual Headies Cup! We’re pleased to present the full rankings for each of this year’s categories in the Homegrow Track. This year’s Homegrow categories included: Hybrid Flower, Sativa Flower, Indica Flower, Edible THC and Edible CBD.

Homegrow Highlights: Congrats to P.L.C., who pulled off 1st place wins in both the Sativa and Indica categories, Flo and Bubble Bath. Mike & Nora came in with the highest-scoring entry in all of Homegrow Flower, a tight, dense and frosty Wedding Cake.

And a nod to Trap House VT, Indica and Hybrid first place champion the last two Cups , who held a 2nd place spot this year with his Mad River Runtz.

Meanwhile, over in Homegrow Edibles, Green Mountain Munchies took Edible: CBD with a decadent Evening CBD Cupcake, drizzled in honey infused with lavender and thyme.

And newcomer Snow Shark Snack Attack took Edible: THC with the highest-scoring entry in all of Homegrow Edibles, a moist, tender and perfectly dosed savory Beef Jerky.

For the full gallery, head on over to the Headies Cup 2023 Gallery – as is tradition, we’re showcasing each of the entries, both online and in person, along with a selection of judges’ comments and additional detail photos.

We’re hard at work wrapping up judging for our first Adult Use Track and setting a firm date for the next winner’s announcement – Stay tuned for an update a bit later this week!
