WHY: The Sonoma County Growers Alliance has made tremendous headway since its inception in 2015. In just one year, we have:
- Created informative twice-monthly workshops to educate both local operators and regulators on the best management practices for the cannabis industry.
- Produced monthly social mixers to engage local businesses and stimulate the networking within our local economy.
- Engaged with local and state representatives to help guide and implement fair policy.
- Created working relationships with organizations statewide to facilitate an action network.
Craft cultivators are the most vital contributors to Sonoma’s cannabis economy and deserve the creation of a fair market to ensure their successful transition into a regulated marketplace.
Sonoma County Growers Alliance is answering this call to provide a pathway for thousands of cultivators to participate in the new regulatory framework being created by local and state government.
