In 2016, Jane Garcia and her daughter and son-in-law, Eliza and Joao Pires, were convinced by a family friend to add Cannabis to their small, organic farm and landscaping company in Nevada County. Today Sanctuary Farms’ cannabis production encompasses a nursery with two outdoor cultivation sites at the original location and a mixed-light cultivation site in Mendocino County. It’s still a family affair, with Eliza’s brother and niece, Ramon and Makayla, rounding out the core team.

Eliza, Joao, and Makayla took some time out to talk to Best of SF about Sanctuary Farms and their place in the cannabis community.

In 2015, Ryan Clark planted the seed of Bosky Genetics. Seven years later he started cultivation, and in February of 2024, jars of flower hit San Francisco dispensary shelves. Clark and the team behind Bosky Genetics are dedicated to breeding and growing unique, proprietary genetics, ensuring each strain stands out for its quality and distinctiveness. Their commitment to "quality over quantity" underpins a philosophy that aims to celebrate life and ignite creativity through superior cannabis products.
