U-PICK HEMP
Call it u-pick, upick, PYO or pick your own. On Saturday, September 26 we are opening the hemp field in the Petaluma Gap so you can harvest your own hemp. Something we have never done before.
You get clippers and a member of the crew to walk you out to the designated rows. Choose your plant, manicure and cut it right there in the field, and take it home. Your very own hemp tree to cure, trim up and enjoy.
The dry-farmed field came in beautiful this year. These are the best hemp plants we have grown, and this is the first time we have ever opened the rows to anyone outside the farm.
Three sessions on Saturday, September 26, at 10am, noon and 2pm. Your $25 holds your time slot and your parking spot, for one car and up to four people. Every session includes a hands-on lesson from Penny Barthel and Christina Wong on how to harvest, dry and cure your plant at home.
$25 per car / 40 cars per session / lesson included
Our cannafam grows by word of mouth. Please forward this to someone who would love it.
Booking is open now. Pick your time above and pay the $25 for your car. Each session is capped at 40 cars, and once a session is full it is full.
You book a one hour session. We run three of them on Saturday and keep them small, so the field never gets crowded.
Entry is pre-paid per car when you book, so there is no payment at the gate. You show us your reservation and drive to your spot.
If you cannot make it, just cancel and we will refund your entry fee. No hassle.
21 and over only. Everyone in the vehicle needs to be 21+ with valid ID.
No pets. We love them, but this is a working field during harvest. Leave them home.
Two plants per person. That is already more cured hemp than most people know what to do with.
Everything in this field is industrial hemp. It is grown on a registered hemp site under our California industrial hemp registration, filed with the Sonoma County Agricultural Commissioner, and the field is posted as industrial hemp the way the state requires.
Every crop is sampled and tested by an independent laboratory before harvest and passed California’s pre-harvest compliance testing as industrial hemp, which is what makes a plant hemp rather than cannabis. This is not our cannabis, it is not grown on our cannabis licensed ground, and it is not sold as a cannabis product.
This hemp is dry farmed, meaning it gets no irrigation and lives on what the ground held from the winter rain. It is certified organic through CCOF under the USDA National Organic Program, on a separate certificate from our cannabis.
What you take home is a fresh hemp plant, raw and unprocessed. There is no consumption of any kind on the farm.
Saturday, September 26. Plants are limited and it is first come, first served. This is a working farm in the middle of harvest, so wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dusty.
Directions and check-in go out by email once you are booked.
