Farming First LLC

Farming is in our DNA. Our team includes third, fourth and fifth-generation farmers. Our co-founder Will Terry's family has been working the land off California's Central Coast for over 125 years. In that time, our collective team has picked up a thing or two about what works. Like, "nature nearly always knows best." And "sustainability" is more than a corporate buzzword, it's a way of life. We've also learned to always find new ways to keep growing. Before launching Farming First, Will partnered with Stephen Walden and began cultivating CBD cannabis (hemp) using the Terry family's expertise from large-scale farming techniques used for peppers, strawberries and leafy green vegetables. As the team grew, it didn't take long to realize we were on to something big, transitioning our agricultural knowledge to THC cannabis cultivation. The ideal conditions that growers, scientists and engineers work to replicate in grow houses happen naturally here in Central California. We have a near year-round growing window – at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact. We know how lucky we are. That's where the "responsibility" part comes in. We're privileged to be part of one of the world's most beautiful and vital ecosystems. We work every day to nurture our land like it nurtures us. Our responsibility also extends to the entire cannabis community. We want to lead the industry not just on quality and value, but in transparency and trust. Is it hard to balance scale, sustainability, regulation and all the other considerations it takes to make a modern farm thrive? Absolutely. But you and your customers deserve nothing less than Farming First's best.
