Meet the Farmers
Scott Vasterling
As founder of Humboldt Family Farms (est 2007), Scott Vasterling’s prolific career blends decades of leadership in health and wellness with his family’s thriving Humboldt farming, distribution, and restaurant businesses. Vasterling guides the vision and daily business operations of the Humboldt-based entity that supports regional farms, including his own.
Nya Hessler
For over five decades, Amaranth Farms has stood as a true Humboldt County original, pioneering the cannabis movement in the region since 1971. Nya, raised on the very homestead his parents established, carries on their legacy. Today, he leads his family in producing top-tier cannabis flowers, blending time-honored landrace genetics with the latest and most distinctive strains. As a true trailblazer, Nya’s commitment to quality shines through in every harvest.
Amy Neukom
Neukom Family Farm stands as a cornerstone of our agricultural community, renowned for nearly three decades of cultivating sought-after certified organic produce in Humboldt County. In 2016, Amy ushered in a new era by introducing cannabis to their cherished “Garden of Eden.” Unsurprisingly, the quality and flavor of their blooms are unmatched. As one of California’s initial State-certified organic (OCAL) cannabis farms, Amy embodies true stewardship of both land and community.
Nik Erikson
In the heart of Humboldt’s legendary hills, Nik carries on a 7th-generation Northern Californian legacy. Leading Full Moon Farms, a second-generation cannabis endeavor, Nik’s expertise lies in crafting small-batch, award-winning cannabis genetics. He focuses on enhanced terpene profiles and an unwavering commitment to sustainability.
Lizandro Salazar
Creating our vape cartridges was a labor of love. With thousands of vapes out there, how and why are we different? First, it starts with pure 100% Humboldt County cannabis flower from family-owned farms. Next, we partnered with Lizandro Salazar, president and co-founder of the multiple Emerald Cup award-winning team at Arcata Fire. In collaboration with the team at Arcata Fire – the county’s first operationally licensed botanical extraction company – Humboldt Family Farms curated and refined the terpene profiles to create world-class cartridges.
