HOPLAND FARM FIELD GUIDE
Inside the Emerald Triangle: A Day on the Original Mendocino Cannabis Farm Tour (Hopland)
A seasonal day tour from Hopland that takes you to a working Mendocino cannabis farm, local dispensaries, and outdoor tastings—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Inside the Emerald Triangle: A Day on the Original Mendocino Cannabis Farm Tour (Hopland).
Less than a two-hour drive north of San Francisco, Mendocino County’s rugged coast and redwood valleys give way to a landscape where family farms have long tilled both grapes and cannabis. On the Original Mendocino Cannabis Farm Tour you follow a guide through Redwood-lined valleys to visit a licensed, operating cannabis farm: wander acres of sungrown plants, meet the farmers, learn about growing and extraction methods, taste product at sanctioned tastings, and sample local dispensaries and outdoor lunches along the way.
