Casually Baked, the potcast, is an extension of the conversations and experiences I have around cannabis for wellness. As the modern cannabis culture evolves, it's interesting to discover how and why everyday people are incorporating marijuana into their lives. And because the plant is complicated and the culture is nuanced, there are always questions and experiments and cautionary tales around every corner. I want to have fun lightening the stigma and building your canna confidence!
As a podcast host/producer and cannaseur, I was excited to join Alpine Seed Group on a trip to Canna Country Farms in July to document the farm's seasonal phenohunt. Canna Country is a small, multigenerational, family-operated farm in Southern Humboldt County utilizing full sun and organic cultivation practices. If you're interested in growing your own cannabis or simply want to better understand the thought and effort that goes into breeding awarding-winning cannabis flower, listen to this episode of Cannabis Breeders Network featuring the duo behind Canna Country Selections. Ted Blair and Reggie Weedman focus on genetics bred and selected on-farm for their smoking qualities and effects. Find their available feminized seed selection at AlpineSeedGroup.com.
