Being seasonal and catering to outdoor, sun grown cultivators, we typically sell out around August 1st and close up shop till spring.

Once the last plants are sold (or composted as the case may be), I will head back to Arizona to work on #HumanitarianAid and #DesertAid along the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as continue my #paragliding training and #StormChasing photography.

Supporting us and the licensed small farms that buy plants from us allows me to do the desert aid work in the off season and supports our 6 employees to be able to have significant off-season free time as well. Where you buy your weed and weed plants matters!

If you're a licensed farm, be sure to contact us for early season pre-orders for 2024. If you're a personal-use grower, be sure to sign up on our mailing list to be notified about sales and so on. https://www.planthumboldt.com/email-list-sign-up/

Here are the websites of three groups providing humanitarian aid in the desert along the southern border. Ajo Samaritans, the group I work with, runs on a tiny budget, mostly for vehicle repairs, fuel and the bottled water and other life support supplies we leave in the desert.

Just returned from a very long water drop day in the desert. Two of us schlepped 10 gallons of water between us and some food to a trail normally heavily used by people crossing the desert north of the Mexican border.

None of the various groups had been to this area in almost two months, so we expected supplies to be depleted. Instead, it was untouched. The trail had wildflower stalks, long since dead and gone to seed, unbroken in the middle of it. The slightest touch snapped their crispy-dry stems flat, indicating that no one had even walked it since the weather warmed.

This route has three "drops", places where we leave water, food, socks and, in the winter, blankets. We did find a new, though not recently used, trail that descended from a canyon and crossed the main one, so we moved an unused drop and its crate to the junction. We'll monitor that spot to see if it gets use.
