Hello in There

We've not popped up to say hello or give updates much this year (Instagram's vendetta against small cannabis farms really tips the "should I take the time to post?" equation), but while we haven't been broadcasting it, we have been busy.

There is a lot of chaos and uncertainty in the cannabis industry and in the world in general and a lot has changed for us in the past few years. We pared down to just us two farmers during COVID; the industry has seen wild price fluctuations and instability; overproduction continues to trend; we welcomed a sweet, little human cannababe. In other words, like a lot of people, our world has turned upside down over the past two and a half years, and conducting business as we usually have no longer made sense. So, in our 7th season growing as a licensed cannabis farm, in the face of these radical changes, we went back to the drawing board and radically changed the way we do things.

 We scaled back to double down on quality over quantity, rest and recovery over workaholism and burnout, and approached this growing season with an intentionality that is necessary to be resilient in the face of chaos. We’re following our interests rather than try to ride the trend waves in the Washington market because that's a fools' errand for a small, family-run farm. This growing season was focused R&D for both the farm and our family. Improving plant expression, streamlining processes, and conducting experiments replaced production goals. We’re recommitting to what brought us here in the first place: a love for cannabis and a belief in its magic and a desire to foster and share that with our communities.

This isn’t a happy ending post—we’re still in it and market conditions aren't suitable for small, craft farms to thrive—but rather a reset and realignment of the intention with which we approach our work. We also believe that the power to build this industry better is in our hands and should be modeled in our work. So here we are attempting to build what should be the backbone of every industry: quality products cultivated with respect for the environment and the people engaged in the production of those products up and down the supply chain. We're really proud of the flower we grew this year, and we can't wait to share it with y'all.
