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.

We believe

At East Fork, we are more than growers — we are educators, cultivators, and community builders. We look beyond our plants and work to create a movement that expounds on ideas and cultivates an educated community. We are devoted to the development and preservation of sun-grown cannabis and believe that sustainable farming methods produce superior holistic experiences. Rooted in a commitment to environmental and social responsibility, we take great pride in the philosophies present on our farm, in our products, and in the partnerships we nurture.

Origin 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.
