Today we are joined by Julia Jacobson of Aster Farms! Aster Farms is an outdoor cannabis farm located in Lake County California. Their focus is to be 0 parts per billion on any chemical or pesticides! Pretty cool, right?
Julia is a Chicago original and actually started her career in fashion retail as a buyer for Bloomingdales. Realizing that she had the entrepreneurial spirit, she left Bloomingdales to begin a Tech Start-up. That company wore her out and it was finally acquired in 2016. Now Julia was free to do whatever she wanted and she turned to soil. After hours and hours of searching and learning she decided that Cannabis was what she would do now. And just like that, Aster Farms was born.
Julia and her business partner and husband, Sam, focus on giving back what they take from the earth. Using no chemicals or pesticides, they believe that the best and only way to farm cannabis is the sustainable way.
The Mendocino Complex Fire erupted right around the corner from Aster Farms just about a year ago. During this fire Aster Farms was evacuated and lost a heavy majority of their crop. During this crisis they felt an outreach of love and support from their local community. Because of that support, they are back up and running today. As a gift to their local community they are giving back to local firefighters with their harvest called Harry's Harvest in honor of a farm cat that they were not able to find after the fire was put out.
