The East Fork Difference
Our craft hemp is grown under the sun using regenerative methods, and hand-harvested by our fairly-paid team. We give back to our local communities, engage in policy work across Oregon and the United States, and support leading nonprofits working on social justice, equity, and sustainability in the hemp trade. And we’ve obtained the most rigorous hemp certifications available: USDA Organic and Sun+Earth Certified.
Our Mission
At East Fork Cultivars, we maintain a resolute commitment to environmental responsibility, science-based education, and social justice. We strive to develop and preserve sustainable, sun-grown farming methods in order to produce high-quality, genetically diverse, CBD-rich cultivars.
Our Story
Starting out, founders Nathan and Aaron Howard had one goal in mind: grow superior CBD-rich cannabis that could help relieve their oldest brother, Wesley Howard, from the symptoms of his range of conditions. It was witnessing the positive effects of CBD-rich cultivars that drove our desire to expand to provide more people with the same access to CBD and cannabis — and in turn to become stewards of the East Fork Ranch, a picturesque place nestled between the East Fork of Oregon’s Illinois River and California’s Siskiyou Mountains. Our commitment to bettering our community — and to growing genetically unique cultivars — has given us a sense of place and pride.
