Since 1971 Amaranth Farms has been a Humboldt County Original, founding the cannabis movement in Humboldt. Nya grew up on the property his parents homesteaded and continues to farm on today. Nya is a true pioneer that leads his family to produce the highest quality cannabis flowers using a combination of “Old School ” landrace genetics and today’s hottest and unique strains.
Amy Neukom
A staple to our farming community, Neukom Family Farm has been producing some of the most sought after certified organic produce in Humboldt County for the past 27 years. In 2016, Amy took the reins to permit cannabis within their “Garden of Eden” and to no surprise, the quality and flavor of their flowers are second to none. One of the first California State certified organic (OCAL) cannabis farms, Amy is a steward of their land and community.
Nik Erikson
Nestled into the legendary hills of Humboldt is where the craft cannabis movement began, and Nik comes from a 7th generation Northern California roots family. Now operating his second-generation farm, Full Moon Farms, Nik specializes in small-batch award winning cannabis genetics that focus on terpene profiles and the positive experience to the end user.

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 Origin cannabis flower from family-owned farms. Next, we partnered with the 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 2 world class cartridges: The Original Galaxy OG Vape Cartridge & The Original Train Wreck Vape Cartridge.
Bottom Line: we followed the “golden rule” of cannabis extraction:
