Featured Project
Created as part of our mission to elevate cannabis culture, The Farm & The Feminine is a fine art photography collaboration designed to chronicle the legacy, creativity and determination of the female farmers who tend the Cannabis gardens of California’s iconic Emerald Triangle. With this stunning visual tribute, the value and vital nature of these outdoor regenerative gardens and the women who are their caretakers are showcased in a way never seen before.

Photographer: Dorit Thies
Featured in multiple magazines such as Marin Living and Cannabis Now, the body of work is an artful assemblage of landscapes, rare cannabis strains and the Ladies who tend these gardens. Created by celebrated fashion and lifestyle photographer Dorit Thies, the images are enhanced with animals, plants, flowers and found objects from the farm, each imbued with natural light to create a new benchmark in photographic fine art that transcends previous representations of the People, Places and Plant that are the foundation of this community.

“Evocative images of women cannabis farmers that speak volumes”
That’s how Cannabis Now magazine described our project in a recent article. It’s also the type of response we get from people at live events when the portraits are displayed. So you asked and we listened! Now we’re truly thrilled to announce that we have teamed with the renowned online art gallery, Saatchi.com, to make these gorgeous images of Emerald Triangle female cannabis farmers easily available with a few clicks. Simply go to Dorit’s Saatchi gallery and start exploring…
Because we know the full-sized limited editions aren’t accessible for everyone, we’ve made a special effort to make available various print sizes starting at $100. Packing and shipping are handled by the pros at Saatchi, creating a no-fuss way to share this memorable photography with you whatever your budget. We’re grateful to be able to do this now, no matter where you live. Join us on the Journey!

“The Farm & ThE feminine” live
We were honored to participate in the Humboldt Grace Foundation's Fire Recovery Project, an auction held in 2021 to raise funds to help rural communities in the Emerald Triangle rebuild after wildfires. We donated the image above (“Katie Jeane,” 1 in a series of 7) to assist in the effort. We’re glad we could play a small part in supporting a community close to our hearts.
Next up, we were flat-out stoked to take part in the 2021 Edition of the Emerald Cup Harvest Ball, debuting the portraits of the Four Lady cultivators from the NorCal region. It was a great opportunity to educate and celebrate their craft and commitment. We followed that up with another invitation to present the Four Ladies once again at the history-making Emerald Cup Awards, which for the first time ever, took place in the heart of Hollywood at the historic Ricardo Montalban Theatre in May, 2022. Being able to reach and teach a SoCal audience with the visual power of this imagery which sparked many conversations was truly gratifying.
Next, check out our portraits live at LA’s much-loved Cannabis & Movies event on Sunday, June 25. Through our participation, you’ll be able to experience this amazing art, plus enjoy a screening of The Matrix as well as meet and greet Katie Jeane’s son, second-generation farmer Joseph Haggard of Emerald Spirit Botanicals. Hear directly from him how sungrown craft cannabis is produced and how he and his family run the farm with regenerative practices. We promise, it’s gonna be Lit!
