Expert Cannabis Cultivation
Our History
Like many good stories, ours starts with a boy who loves the land...
“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings”
Our founder grew up in Napa Valley, the 5th generation in a California-based agricultural family. Possessed with a green thumb, his farming education started early in the family vineyard.
Driven by equal parts creativity, defiant streak, and an early education from his Southern Humboldt-based uncle, he cultivated his first cannabis plant at age 13. In his 20’s he branched out to launch a fully producing farm on his family’s land in Mendocino, Beija Flor. We introduced our first crop in 2003. Through connections with farmers and breeders in the area, we continue to work to strengthen the world-class traditions of cannabis farms in the Emerald Triangle.
Beija Flor means ‘to kiss the flower’ or translates literally to ‘hummingbird’. Both interpretations reflect our obsession with the balance and delicateness of nature and desire to create an extraordinary experience.
Our process is driven by a sensitive observation of botanical systems, soil, and the environment and a focus on preservation of the land and carbon sequestration. Our ultimate goal is to achieve the simple harmony between the earth and our crops that results in products that are unique, balanced, and enjoyable, with compassion and protection for the land we call home.

Too much Carbon in our air is disrupting our climate and contributing to global warming. Plants help us by absorbing Carbon Dioxide from the air.
Healthier soil can absorb and retain even more carbon in a process called Carbon Sequestration.
Carbon lives in the soil where it nurtures microbiological life and adds value as Organic matter.
Organic matter contributes to moisture and nutrient retention, creating healthier soil.
Healthier Soil supports Terpene development.
Terpenes are responsible for the depth of flavor and rich aroma in Cannabis.
