Vanessa and Jeff had me go out to Oregon to a town called Selma where they were partnered in a new project to grow cannabis. The 60 acre farm they bought was an existing vineyard. The vineyard was so beautiful but alas it was my job to get on the tractor and commence mowing down all the vines to prepare to grow weed and to help oversee the new buildings that were being built for indoor grows.
Above you can see the grapevines in the rear and the pots of weed in the foreground.
Here’s the grapes in early stages.
This is the new sign I had made.
The grape picker!!! My first few weeks here was picking grapes. This is one of the last grape harvests the farm will produce.
Surveying for the new buildings.
Got my favorite Barbour Jacket and Hat. Living in Orlando I very rarely get a chance to wear my Barbour clothes!
But when it’s raining hard then on goes the garbage bag! Ryan taught me that trick!
Above I am fertilizing the vines and you can see just how long they stretch.
New structures going up for indoor growing the weed.

Driving home from the farm one day the local hills were alight!
I put together a small maintenance shop.
And I bought a small microwave and a kettle to everyone’s delight.
Ryan had been working at the farm from the beginning— super great guy. News update…….8/26/2021….Ryan just called me! I was in shock! So good to hear from such a great guy. The good news is he is moving to S Carolina! Awesome news cuz now we will be able to visit each other after all this time!
