RIDGELINE FARMS

RIDGELINE FARMS : THE HEART OF HUMBOLDT & THE FUTURE OF CRAFT CANNABIS. A TRUE GENETIC POWERHOUSE

Ridgeline Farms represents the soul of Humboldt, a blend of outlaw history, generational resilience, and world-class cannabis genetics. In this powerful 34-minute interview, Jason takes us deep into his life: growing up on the mountain during helicopter raids, watching his dad get arrested, surviving the 215 boom, and navigating the devastating collapse that hit Humboldt after legalization.

Through all of it, Ridgeline stayed committed to the craft. Jason explains the decades of selective breeding that produced strains like Lance, Blueberry Caviar, and Blackberry Caviar, varieties that went on to win the Emerald Cup, Zalympix, and California’s Golden Bear. Lance was even named Strain of the Year, a massive win for a mixed-light farm competing against indoor giants.

This is one of the rawest, most honest conversations ever captured from a Humboldt legacy farmer. It is a story of survival, innovation, and a deep love for the plant that shaped his life.
