Six Nevada County farms took the floor at Hall of Flowers
Updated: 1 day ago
Hall of Flowers was a success. The show happened in Sacramento on November 5, and Nevada County showed up in a way we have never done before. Six of our local cannabis businesses were on the floor together over the two days, November 4 and 5, meeting buyers and retailers from across California.
High Hill Cannabis, Good Times Farm, Sanctuary Farms, Down Om Farms, Greenshock Farms, and Highest Health Collective all came to represent Nevada County. High Hill Cannabis, Good Times Farm, and Sanctuary Farms shared a booth in the Craft Sungrown Showcase pavilion, the group space we set up with our partner Budist, which let them pool resources and reach more of the people walking the floor.
Most of what happens at a trade show comes down to price and potency. We came to talk about something else, how craft sungrown cannabis is grown, who grows it, and why knowing your farmer matters. When a buyer understands the care behind a plant and the person standing behind it, the product on their shelf comes with a story, and that story is a big part of what makes small farm cannabis worth stocking. Helping retailers and buyers see that quality up close was the whole point of being there.
We are proud of every one of these businesses for making the trip, setting up, and representing Nevada County right. An event this size takes time and money that small farms do not always have to spare, and they showed up anyway.
This was a first for us, and seeing our farms hold their own tells us it is worth doing again. The connections made in Sacramento will keep paying off long after the booths came down, and we are already thinking about what next year could look like with even more local farms on the floor.
