Humo- Salinas, CA

Big Pete’s Treats- Santa Cruz, CA
Santa Cruz is where it all began. As a young man growing cannabis and baking cookies, Big Pete devoted himself to creating consistent, wonderful edibles that harness the healing power of cannabis-infused butter. After 6 years surfing and enjoying the good vibes in Hawaii,Pete returned to Santa Cruz to start his business in 2009, focused on helping people with medical cannabis. As the legalization movement swept through the West, Big Pete realized he couldn’t handle everything on his own, so his son Pete Jr.and daughter Katie learned how to navigate the uncharted waters of a newly legal, quickly evolving industry. Big Pete’s Treats have entered contests and won awards, earning shelf space in over 100 California dispensaries. Most importantly, positive testimonials from patients affirm that Big Pete’s Treats have helped people in countless ways.

Decibel Gardens- Moss Landing, CA
Decibel Gardens was formally launched in May of 2016. From the time the business was founded, the primary objective has been creating premier quality cannabis and maintaining a system that is never compromised year round. This was achieved by designing facilities and operations that identify and address all the nuances of the plant from years of analysis. Our love of this plant and process is what defines us. It requires constant attention to detail and that applies to everything from the design of facilities, the communication of equipment, the people who cultivate and the staff who process all working together to ultimately deliver a flower that maintains the highest quality. There are many factors that can disrupt the ultimate goal of avoiding degradation that affects the aesthetics and terpene content of cannabis. We are perpetually navigating and circumventing the pitfalls that take away from what we consider the ultimate cannabis experience.
Lowell- Salinas, CA
In the spring of 1909, William “Bull” Lowell began growing what was called Indian Hemp on his farm on the central coast of California. Henry J. Finger took a dislike to Bull’s “marijuana being smoked by the wrong kinds of people”. Finger conspired to outlaw cannabis and later passed the 1913 Poison Act. Bull believed in a man’s right to smoke the dried plant and enjoy its benefits. When the stubborn Bull refused to stop growing his beloved plant, Finger shut down Bull’s farm and later threw him in jail. Today our community of family farms honor the great Bull Lowell’s tradition of growing cannabis naturally and with a deep love and respect for the plant.
