About our company
We started small in Santa Cruz, CA back in 2004 and have been expanding ever since. In 2015, under prop 215, we moved our operation to San Francisco, becoming one of the first in the state to receive a municipal permit. In 2020 we expanded again, officially making us the largest grow in San Francisco! With thousands of beautiful plants, we are excited to bring you more of your favorite strains, from State Flower classics like Lambsbread and GDP to our limited releases, like Garanimals and Gush Mints. Even though we are now the largest grow in San Francisco, we are still a “boutique” operation in relation to many grows in California. To us, “boutique” means we are still small enough to give each batch the attention it deserves to achieve the plant’s optimal expression.
