Lifers
This is the story of two local brothers who grew up in a family of farmers growing apples and pears, and then decided to take the family skills into the weed scene. Grant and Mitch are the names of these fine fellows who have ties with the California industry through farming – in fact, Grant was even friends with Jack Herer. Stoners through and through, it’s no wonder that Cannabis is in their blood. Back in the medical days, they had a green cross-laden sign in the area called The Green Cross – becoming the rec version now known as Frontier Farms.
Team Players
Collaborations are the game’s name these days and Frontier Farms creates quality alliances with other interesting producers, equating to high-end choices for bargain prices. To name a few, they hit the jackpot with Quantum Alchemy to produce some gorgeous live resin and rosin. Another partnership resulted in some cured resin and live resin with NW Kind. It’s a beautiful thing when you’re able to provide great flower to amazing processors, because you know how it goes: quality in/quality out.
Energy Flow
“The Dalles is awesome. This is a strong community where people take care of each other,” says the shop’s star budtender, Mandy Olsen. She will also tell you that it’s the convergence of energy that produces what they consider to be the most prolific flower in the state. With the high winds and healthy air, being on the edge of the river in the Gorge has a distinct advantage when growing plants. Also, the energetic winds blow in energetic tourists with really cool stories from all areas east.
