As we take a winter morning stroll across the frosty meadow ringed with naked oaks, the passage of time is apparent. We are reminded of a quote we once heard: "The end of the branch... The beginning of the sky." The circle of Life continues.

Let us say goodbye to 2025 and thank it for the lessons learned, good and bad, and meditate on how those lessons will lead to a more conscious new year ahead. Living in the lap of nature, as we do, is a constant reminder of the inevitable change of seasons, a reminder to go with the flow, like the rushing river, like the clouds as they float across the vast sky, like the gentle deer as they guide their families from one season to the next.

This December has been a quiet one, primarily a time for Swami to heal from the sciatica which affected him for the first time in his otherwise healthy life. For four weeks he was in pain, but thanks to our wise friends such as Harry Rose, Mark Greyshock, Jackie Simion, Rick Simpson and the folks at SolFul dispensary he was able to heal with the blessings of the cannabis plant. For decades we thought "weed" was for fun and pursuits of higher consciousness - but at times like this we truly recognize that it is pure medicine and to be respected. Swami is feeling much better now - ready to stand straight again and greet the new year!

As we settle in next to the cozy woodstove for a Mendocino winter once again, we count our many blessings, which include all of you. Thank you for caring, thank you for being there with open hearts, thank you for joining us on this amazing journey of Life.

May 2025 bring Peace and Joy to our planet and her people.
We Love You All.

Special Guest: Mark Greyshock of Greenshock Farms
With 20 years of experience judging the Emerald Cup and announcing winners onstage, Nikki and Swami lost count of how many times they have called Mark's name. We look forward to digging deeper with this highly accomplished breeder and cultivator.
Mark started growing over 20 years ago. It was hard to come across good cannabis back then, so he decided to try and grow his own. Growing cannabis among nature in the mountains, he knew quickly that this is what he wanted to do with his life. After two years of real struggles, he met someone who knew what they were doing and took him under their wing. Chris, who is still a partner of Mark’s today, brought him up to speed on how to grow.
|
|
In the beginning there were many challenges, including the law and helicopters who would come in and take the plants. Everything was an experiment back then — where to grow, how to grow, what to grow with. Mark tried many high-end chemical products, but quickly learned these methods weren’t right and didn’t produce good cannabis. There was no comparison to simple, natural grown cannabis, created with organic compost. Cannabis is meant to be grown in nature, where everything is organic and sun-grown. cannabis genetics across California.

"We don’t believe in chemicals.
We work with nature, we don’t fight nature."
“Legalization has brought in corporations and big money ventures. People are growing weed who have never even smoked it before. The priority of these people and companies are money and profit, not it’s true medicinal benefits for millions worldwide.
|
We’re not here for that. We will continue to fight for the growers and people who believe in and can benefit from the incredible medicinal value of this sacred, natural plant, grown the way it should be — all natural, organic, out in nature under the sun.
|
We put our heart and soul into these plants, and hope you love them too.”
|
Join us live on Zoom on January 28th from anywhere in the universe as we get down and dirty with an ever-delightful and forever-dedicated farmer and friend, Mark from Greenshock Farms.
