Cassandra has been growing cannabis for the past 3 years on the Rose family farm located in the heart of Vermont. Although Cassandra never saw herself pursuing this path, a series of events led her to where she is today.

The use of cannabis helped her father's cancer go into remission. After that, it became his dream to provide good quality cannabis products to the community so that they too could benefit from it like he did. Unfortunately, in the process of starting his business, he lost his farm. The stress of it made his cancer return with a vengeance, and he passed away in December of 2019.

A few years later, the farm went up for auction and the Rose family got it back. With this gift and second chance, it only made sense to make his dreams come true. Cassandra spent a year getting the farm cleaned up and ready to go before beginning on this wild and unexpected journey.

Cassandra loves working outside and in the 3 large greenhouses on the farm. She loves the heat and her strengths lie in multitasking which is exactly what it takes to run a cannabis farm. She currently grows most of her flower to sell under the brand Doughboi Farms. Dough is active on social media, great at sales and provides awesome unique packaging, making him the perfect partner for their operation.

You can find Doughboi Farm flowers in dispensaries across the state, and the full list is on their website!

Michelle got into growing cannabis back in 2005, but it wasn’t easy with all the moving around and living in small spaces. Luckily, her husband, who’s also her business partner, had a ton of experience, and she learned a lot from him. When they finally bought a house with some land, she was all in on exploring the science of growing. That’s when Michelle really got to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty.

Her love for plants and nurturing growth really took off, and she found herself falling for cannabis in a big way. She loves how responsive these plants are to their environment and how they let you know what they need. Plus, the flowers are absolutely beautiful! Michelle finds great fulfillment from growing something that can help and heal others.

Sarah began her journey into growing about five years ago, primarily assisting her husband with plants in a few small tents within their apartment. Upon receiving her cultivation license, she fully committed herself to this craft. Sarah has always relished new challenges, and cultivating plants encourages her to learn something new every day. For two years, Duke’s Diesel functioned as a small tier 1 operation, allowing her to dedicate hours to understanding each plant on a personal level.

One of the aspects she loves most about cannabis is its remarkable diversity; even one cultivar can vary significantly from plant to plant. It can be difficult to choose a favorite since each one is so distinct. She treasures the time spent with her husband, bonding through their shared passion for cultivation and creating cannabis products for the State of Vermont.

With exciting changes ahead, Sarah is temporarily stepping away from commercial growing as she relocates and begins phase two of Duke’s Diesel. We were fortunate to obtain some of her final material for our vapes before this transition and eagerly anticipate the incredible strains she will cultivate in the future!

Duke's Diesel is named in honor of the company's beloved mascot, Duke. Adopted around six years ago, Duke was the first pet that Sarah and Albert shared as a couple. He is truly a once-in-a-lifetime dog, playing a significant role in their lives. With the introduction of Duke's Diesel, the aim is for his image to become widely recognized throughout Vermont!

Jane learned medical growing from her partner Ben about 12 years ago and had experience working in indoor grows prior. Jane and Ben started their organic sun grown hemp farm in 2018 with the passing of the Farm Bill.

Jane got a medical card in California when she graduated school back in 2005. She worked trimming for a few San Fransisco based businesses and inspired by the growing marketplace out West and female business owners she met; she directed her career path towards the cannabis industry in Vermont.

For Jane, cannabis cultivation brings her connection to the life cycle, seasons and Earth. She has a deep appreciation for the international history of cannabis through millennia and reverence for the future potential of this plant, of which we’re not even yet fully aware. The science and direct experience of the way that the molecules inside the plant bind with our receptors to restore physiological harmony, inspires her to believe in the healing potential of this ancient plant.

Family Tree Cannabis Co. products can be found in 35 dispensaries across the state. Store locator and craft CBD products can be found on their online shop.

Chris’ desire to experience more cultivars inspired her to embark on the journey of growing cannabis over fifteen years ago.

She finds joy and fulfillment in nurturing various cultivars, each with its own unique colors, tastes, smells, and effects. Witnessing the vibrant spectrum of hues in the leaves and flowers, savoring the aromatic profiles ranging from earthy to citrusy, and experiencing the nuanced effects on the mind and body are all subjects of her fascination. The art of cultivating cannabis allows Chris to immerse herself in a world of endless exploration and discovery, where every cultivar is a testament to the boundless diversity and untold stories within the plant kingdom.
