Hickory Hash & Bud

I’ve been growing cannabis for almost 40 years, with over 30 of those years growing outdoors—most of the time growing indoors as well. For 13 years, I grew as a caregiver before becoming a recreational cannabis grower in Vermont.

I’ve always had a reverence for cannabis; it’s been a huge part of my life. Alongside my cultivation, I’ve been glassblowing and making pipes for over 25 years.

My passion for organic growing stems from a family history of gardening, going back to my early childhood.

I pride myself on growing high-quality cannabis using the cleanest, most natural inputs, with a focus on environmentally sustainable practices. Using an innovative no-till living soil system based on permaculture, I incorporate organic inputs and create a diverse soil biology. This includes using mycorrhizal fungi as a catalyst, fostering a symbiotic relationship between the plant and soil biology. This approach allows the plants to fully express themselves, resulting in rich aromas, complex flavors, abundant terpenes, and high levels of cannabinoids.

I’m proud to be part of Vermont’s progressive cannabis movement, and I think of each of my customers personally. I take pride in delivering something they can feel good about purchasing.

I believe very strongly in the power of personal connection. It’s our relationships that make our experiences together enjoyable, enrich our lives, and bring us fulfillment. This belief drives everything I do, from the care I put into growing cannabis with organic inputs to the trust and satisfaction I aim to build with each partner. Cannabis is more than a plant to me; it’s a means of connection, and I strive to share that with everyone I work with.
