Seasonal Cannabis Growing and Shopping Guide for Northern California


Understanding Cannabis Seasonality in California’s Climate

The natural growing cycle of cannabis follows distinct seasonal patterns, which directly affects availability and pricing at The Farm’s dispensary locations throughout Northern California. Whether you’re visiting our stores in Rio Vista, Vallejo, Antioch, Del Rey Oaks, Salinas, or Santa Cruz, understanding these patterns can help you make informed purchasing decisions.

Seasonal Shopping Guide

  • Spring (March-May): Seedling season begins, with indoor-grown products dominating store inventory
  • Summer (June-August): Peak growing season for outdoor cultivation
  • Fall (September-November): Harvest season brings fresh products and best pricing
  • Winter (December-February): Indoor-grown products return to prominence

Regional Considerations

Each of our locations experiences slightly different climate conditions:
– Coastal areas (Santa Cruz, Vallejo) benefit from moderate temperatures
– Inland regions (Antioch, Rio Vista) see more temperature extremes
– Salinas Valley provides ideal growing conditions year-round

Shopping Tips by Season

– Fall harvest brings an abundance of fresh flower and better prices
– Winter months often feature more concentrated products
– Spring introduces new strains and varieties
– Summer offers a mix of indoor and outdoor products

Remember to check our inventory regularly, as product availability changes with the seasons. The Farm ensures quality products year-round through partnerships with both indoor and outdoor cultivators across Northern California.
