National Cannabis Publication Aligns with Multi-State Cannabis Cultivator Focused on Local Farming, Education, Community, and Quality Flower.
Fat Nugs Magazine is proud to announce Grasshopper Farms as its newest Brand Partner, bringing together two organizations that share a commitment to education, community, and preserving the culture that helped build the cannabis industry.
Grasshopper Farms has established itself as a respected name in cannabis by taking a different approach than many operators in the space. Rather than chasing trends or building a faceless corporate operation, the company has focused on supporting local farmers, cultivating high quality products, and creating a workplace culture that values people just as much as plants. Today, Grasshopper Farms operates farms across Michigan, Colorado, and New Jersey while continuing to invest in local communities and the teams who call those communities home.
Founded by CEO Will Bowden, Grasshopper Farms was built around a simple but powerful vision: produce exceptional cannabis through sustainable cultivation while creating opportunities for local growers and agricultural communities. The company proudly employs local teams and cultivators, drawing upon decades of combined growing experience to deliver quality cannabis while maintaining a strong connection to the people and regions where it operates.
The People Behind the Plants
What immediately stood out to the Fat Nugs Magazine team were the people behind the company. From conversations with team members to interactions with leadership, there is a noticeable sense of pride, optimism, and collaboration that can be difficult to manufacture and damn near impossible to fake. During conversations with Chief Marketing Officer Bryna Colley, one theme continued to surface repeatedly: education. According to Colley, “At Grasshopper Farms, we’re not just growing cannabis. We’re educating consumers, supporting local communities, and helping shape a more transparent, sustainable future for the industry.” That perspective is reflected throughout the company, from its farm tours and educational initiatives to its community outreach efforts and commitment to responsible, sustainable cultivation.
Grasshopper Farms has become particularly well known for helping consumers reconnect with a cultivation method that has existed for thousands of years: growing cannabis under the sun. The company believes that outdoor cultivation allows cannabis plants to thrive in their natural environment while reducing environmental impact and maintaining a direct connection to agriculture. Through public farm tours, educational initiatives, and community engagement efforts, Grasshopper Farms continues to help demystify cannabis cultivation while promoting a deeper understanding of the plant itself.
A Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
“Partnerships work best when both organizations share similar values,” said Dustin Hoxworth, Founder and Editor-at-Large of Fat Nugs Magazine. “What attracted us to Grasshopper Farms was how they approach cultivation and their people. Every interaction we’ve had with their team has reinforced the idea that they’re building something meaningful. They’re supporting local farmers, educating consumers, investing in communities, and doing it with a level of authenticity that aligns perfectly with who we are as a publication. They do a family farm day-event event every year; it doesn’t get more community focused and forward thinking than that.”
The new partnership will create opportunities for expanded storytelling, educational content, brand visibility, and community engagement throughout the coming year. Grasshopper Farms will receive access to Fat Nugs Magazine’s integrated media ecosystem, including editorial opportunities, digital exposure, social media amplification, press coverage, and inclusion within the publication’s growing national audience.
For Fat Nugs Magazine, the partnership represents another step forward in its mission to support organizations that are helping move the cannabis industry toward a more sustainable, transparent, and community-focused future.
As the cannabis industry continues to evolve, companies like Grasshopper Farms demonstrate that growth does not have to come at the expense of culture, local agriculture, or human connection. By empowering local farmers, embracing best cultivation practices, and prioritizing education alongside business success, Grasshopper Farms has created a model that feels both refreshingly simple and increasingly important.
Fat Nugs Magazine is excited to welcome Grasshopper Farms to the family and looks forward to sharing more of their story with readers across the United States and beyond.
