Croptober 2023 in Full Swing

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:17:48 GMT

The harvest is not the same beast it once was.Much of the billions of dollars that would flow into the small towns in Northern California every year has been lost in the years since legalization passed. Permit stacking here at home, Oklahoma flooding the East Coast market, and a poor regulatory rollout contributed a lot to the pain in both the underground and legal markets. But there is still hope to be found in harvest season because of what it meant to the survivors. For those who have made it this far through the storm, the harvest is when the efforts of a year’s labor come to fruition. Many of them represent the last grasp of outdoor OGs holding on for the culture, as so much of California’s outdoor and mixed-light cannabis production has moved to giant facilities. But not everywhere. People like Dashiell and Mariam of Barrett Farms, named for their dog, are more than willing to show you the heat coming out of small craft cannabis farms. The pair told us the season started off w...

Still in play was a chance to make the cut, though it was hard work to keep her score around par.“I played decent,” Thompson said. “I had one bad hole and a few iffy shots. But it’s golf; it was kind of expected.”Thompson took advantage on two of the par 5s for birdie, and she got a bonus with a birdie putt from inside 25 feet on the...
