Cannabis is currently legal in some form (recreational or medicinal) in 23 states and the District of Columbia, making a market demand for high quality pot. Austin announced her latest combination strain which will be released at the annual Green Emerald cup in Santa Rosa. While being a third generation farmer, Austin is embracing organic farming practices as well as integrating genetic breeding into making better cannabis crops.
