Sun Roots Farm
Sun Roots Farm in Covelo, Mendocino County is a legacy craft farm deeply committed to regenerative agriculture and holistic ecosystem health. Their gardens are more than cannabis plots—vegetables, herbs, flowers, perennial and native medicinal plants, woodlands, alpacas, and food forests all coexist. Their cultivation techniques include growing from seed, building living soil, respecting wildlife habitat, and practicing pollination and native species gardens.
The farm holds DEM Pure certification and is a Certified Wildlife Habitat via the National Wildlife Federation, and in 2018 they were honored with a Regenerative Cannabis Farm award at the Emerald Cup. Their approach goes beyond “organic” in the sense that they aim to heal, restore, and give back—through closed-loop systems, composting, mindful soil building, water stewardship, and biodiversity.
Sun Roots Farm helps preserve craft cannabis in the Emerald Triangle by demonstrating that small, intentional farms can produce high-quality flower while protecting and enriching their landscapes. They keep exclusive seed genetics adapted to their local microclimate, minimize external inputs, and highlight the relationships between soil health, environmental integrity, and product quality. Their presence helps sustain the heritage of legacy growers and encourages others to adopt similar regenerative and craft-oriented practices.
