About Us
We are an established Oregon cannabis producer with 13 years in operation, focused on quality, consistency, clean production practices, and a strong team culture.

This position is best for someone who takes pride in hard work, communicates clearly, holds themselves to a high standard, and is comfortable helping guide others. Cannabis experience is helpful, but character, drive, consistency, and leadership potential matter more.

Room Turnovers

Quality Standards

Inventory & Supplies
Keep nutrients, PPE, harvest supplies, and tools organized. Communicate when supplies are running low or when something needs to be fixed.

Safety & Compliance
Follow all safety, sanitation, PPE, and OLCC compliance expectations.
