Local brothers growing local buds.
Hello again! We’re two brothers who quit our environmental consulting jobs to live the dream and operate our own cannabis microbusiness. They say do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. And we took that to heart the moment we learned about the legalization of cannabis in Massachusetts.
But our story actually starts over 20 years ago. You may have wondered why we call ourselves Hidden Hemlock. Well growing up in the hills of Western Mass, we had a favorite hemlock tree deep in the woods behind the log cabin we call home. We’d ride our ATVs to this hidden hemlock which served as our waypoint to our secret garden. There, we’d park and walk a mile through bear territory and along steep ledges to the spot where our love of growing began, leading both of us to pursue degrees in environmental science and agriculture.
In addition to our love of growing, we’re also passionate about keeping a healthy mind and body, which is why we produce cannabis grown in 100% organic soil and use organic inputs. We’re proud to be producing cannabis on a micro (craft) level - an honor that can only be achieved by being from Massachusetts, keeping our canopy under 5,000 sq. ft. (that’s tiny), and not being involved in other multi-state operations.
After 4 long years of endless nights, countless hours and jumping high hurdles to get here, we’re proud to be sharing our passion with you. We hope you enjoy the high we’re riding.
