Deep in the tangled forests and sprawling vineyards of Anderson Valley’s wine country in Mendocino, California, is a new kind of cannabis tourism experience centered on rare landrace cannabis strains. It’s called The Madrones.
In the southern-most point of the Emerald Triangle, founders Jim Roberts and Brian Adkinson combined their love of wine and rare landrace cannabis genetics into a bucolic experience that could easily exist in Provence or along the Mediterranean coast.
The Madrones is a compound that consists of elegant accommodations, a farm-to-table restaurant, two wine tasting rooms, an event venue called The Brambles nestled in a redwood grove, and an apothecary-style dispensary by the owners’ cannabis brand, The Bohemian Chemist, which specializes in rare landrace strains.
Landrace cannabis strains exist as the earth’s purest expression of the plant. They are the wild, original varieties that evolved naturally in specific geographic regions around the world, and have adapted distinct characteristics—and highs—based on their environments.
The Bohemian Chemist farm was originally owned by Roberts’ mother, who grew cannabis there until her passing. A master gardener himself, Roberts found himself dissatisfied with the current flower on the market, and wanted to bring the single-source genetics that defined the kaleidoscopic highs of his bohemian youth to today’s market.
