We support people, plants, and planet through regenerative, craft, cannabis education.

Our Mission

To foster a socially just, environmentally regenerative, and economically inclusive cannabis community.

Small Farmers

Small and very small farmers and growers are at the heart of what we do. The NY Cannabis Law offers a lot of potential to create thriving small and craft farmers, producers and farm co-ops. Our New York state regulations can strengthen the agricultural sector, increase employment and create new opportunities by allowing on-farm sales and other farm sale distribution mechanisms for small and distressed farmers

Regenerative Farming

Regenerative practices are more than sustainable — they help bring our soil back to life, creating healthy crops and biodiversity. In contrast to industrial agriculture, which has destroyed our earth, farming this way heals the earth and heals us. Since cannabis is a new crop, we can grow it right from the start, furthering New York’s commitment to be a leader on sustainability and policy.

Economic Opportunity

New York’s cannabis money belongs in New York State. As the state shapes this new industry, it must learn from the experiences elsewhere across the country. Larger centralized cannabis conglomerates should not control this burgeoning industry. Small cannabis operators need a fairer chance to create economic sustainability. Localized, community-based, small and micro businesses should be the mainstay. To create social justice and economic inclusivity, regulation and oversight must level the playing field for equity applicants through incubators, accelerators, and loan programming.

Healthy Cannabis for NY

NY deserves an environmentally conscious industry that grows healthy cannabis. Superior sun-grown cannabis is feasible even in the coldest reaches of the state and doesn’t bring the heavy infrastructure, energy and environmental costs of large canna-warehouses. All commercial growing, indoor and out, should be subject to metrics showing how it will impact resilience to climate change. Synthetic pesticides should be banned. Reusable | sustainable packaging should be incentivized and single-use plastics should be recycled.
