The Sunboldt Grown Story
Sunboldt Grown is a licensed farm at the cutting edge of sustainable dry farming. The cannabis is cultivated beside ancient redwoods belonging to Humboldt Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County. The plants grow under the sun and without added water in Eel River flood plain deposits.
Founder Sunshine Cereceda considers herself a “terroirist” who allows for place to be expressed in her flower and hash. She harvests when the resin is fully mature and achieves lasting flavor with longer drying and curing time.

AN INTERVIEW WITH SUNSHINE
The idea of doing it yourself set us apart. There were enough growers that we were a community. We created KMUD, the Mateel Community Center, we built schools and fire departments.

SUNSHINE: TRUE OG
“Growing up in Humboldt County was magical and amazing, but I was also taught to be self-reliant and resourceful,” she says. “Now I’m just so happy that I get to take my knowledge about cannabis and put it out into the world. I couldn’t do that if I was still living in the shadows.”

DRY FARMING IN HOLMES FLAT
When Johnston transplanted her plants out of pots into the native soil in June and initially saw them suffering under the hot sun, she was terrified she’d made a huge mistake. Slowly, the plants started to recover, and by the time she harvested in October, they were full of big sticky colas.
