Nestled in the lush expanse of Washington’s Skagit Valley, ZoZ Productions is more than just a Cannabis farm; it’s a harmonious blend of tradition, craftsmanship and a deep respect for the earth. Owned and operated by the inspirational Natali Schutz and her partners, Darryl Cloer (recreational side) and Justice Reign (hemp/CBD side), this female-led enterprise is rooted in a legacy that predates the legal Cannabis industry. From its early days in medical marijuana cultivation to its current multifaceted I-502 and hemp operations, ZoZ thrives with a unique ethos that blends small-batch passion with a wellness-oriented vision.
A Family Affair, Rooted in Community Wellness
ZoZ is a family-owned and -operated business, a rarity that reflects the close-knit dedication of Natali and her team. Working side by side with her partners, this family-driven approach to cultivation ensures that every plant reaches its optimum potential. Nurtured with love and resonating with the authenticity that only family-run operations can bring, ZoZ has proven to produce flourishing gardens both indoors and outdoors. The team is committed to the craft, backed by a spirit of stewardship echoing a wellness legacy passed down and refined from the community collective medical Cannabis model.
A History Steeped in Grassroots Cultivation
Natali Schutz’s journey into Cannabis began long before medical authorizations became mainstream. With a seasoned background that spans pre-legalization days, Natali and her team are no strangers to the challenges and rewards of Cannabis cultivation. Today, she brings that legacy to ZoZ, where her team cultivates Cannabis with an old-school, craft-oriented approach. Natali describes the operation as “a small-batch, craft Cannabis garden,” where every plant is grown in soil, hand-watered and hand-trimmed with care. Unlike many operations that lean heavily on automation, the team at ZoZ takes pride in hands-on, manual cultivation — a testament to their dedication to quality and a genuine love for working directly with this sacred plant. The team at ZoZ stays busy year-round with both an indoor Cannabis garden for recreational consumption and an outdoor hemp cultivar garden that fuels their line of wellness-related products.
An Indoor Oasis and Sunlit Hemp Sanctuary
ZoZ Productions has an I-502 licensed indoor space sprawling across a cozy yet efficient 7,000 square feet. With eight individual grow rooms, each housing around 100 to 150 plants of varied strains, the setup allows the team to stagger their harvest, providing a fresh weekly yield of approximately 25 pounds of high-grade flower. According to Natali, the indoor harvest season “ends every week,” meaning there’s always something new and freshly harvested in store for Cannabis lovers.
In addition to its indoor Cannabis garden, ZoZ Wellness proudly operates a USDA-certified organic outdoor hemp farm on 2.5 acres. The outdoor space, dedicated to crafting wellness-focused CBD products, underscores the team’s commitment to natural practices. “Our experience with outdoor growing has been beautiful,” Natali shares. “It’s given us a deep respect for sun-grown Cannabis.” The result is a fusion of indoor precision and outdoor inspiration, allowing ZoZ to honor both the controlled beauty of indoor cultivation and the wild, sun-drenched benefits of growing outdoors.
A Garden Full of Strains and Stories
With a rotating selection of over 40 unique strains, ZoZ Productions captures the spirit of variety and innovation. This diversity in strains allows the team to respond to seasonal shifts, emerging trends and consumer requests, with the goal of always keeping things fresh and exciting. ZoZ, one of the few active propagation producers, has recently embarked on sharing extensive genetic lineage with Washington. They are now offering their genetics for sale to other licensed producers and medical cardholders, enhancing accessibility and collaboration.
Though strains come and go, there are a handful of classics that Natali and her team keep flowering year-round, nodding to the beloved cultivars that make this garden feel like home. You’ll often find flavors like Strawberries and Cream, Trop Cherry and Mimosa, to name a few. However, the true gem of the ZoZ lineup is King Sherb, expertly bred by In House Genetics — the team’s absolute favorite cultivar.
King Sherb is an indica strain crafted from a genetic blend of OGKB and Blue Sherb. It boasts a pungent, gassy aroma that can permeate any room — a true OG classic. The flavor profile features earthy, spicy and citrus notes, with caryophyllene as the dominant terpene. With aromatics of myrcene and limonene backed by THC levels surpassing 28%, this strain is an excellent choice for seasoned Cannabis enthusiasts. King Sherb is the ultimate nighttime companion for those seeking tranquility and comfort. With its soothing and euphoric effects, this strain can allow for a smooth transition into deeper, more restful sleep. ZoZ enthusiasts rave about its ability to deliver relaxation, sleepiness and pure happiness — a useful wellness ally for tackling insomnia, pain and stress. Natali says, “This is definitely one of our team’s [more] challenging varietals to grow, but the outcome is always worth it.”
