Melissa Hoffman was featured in our cannabis straight from the source series where she gave us a in-depth look at her unique farm, Sho Farm. We followed up with Melissa to see how her unconventionally grown cannabis did, but we also talked more about her background and the origin of Sho Farm.

In our conversation with Melissa we discuss a variety of topics:

• Small scale cannabis growing and unconventional growing tactics
• The origins of Sho farm
• Farming philosophy

A Brief Description of Sho Farm:
We establish  food systems that build and restore wildlife habitat. We also offer safe haven to previously-farmed animals to live out their lives as partners within these systems. Currently, 100+rescued khaki campbell ducks forage daily in SHO Farm's permaculture orchard, and live securely in an insulated barn at night. 



Memorable Quotes:
"I want the plant (cannabis) to be itself, in context"
"The more whole somethings, the better it is, and more superior something is"
