Pioneering land-appropriate economic development through cannabis cultivation in the northern Antelope Valley.
Scroll down to learn more about our project.
Hello, neighbors.
Antelope Valley residents Jeff Hinds and John Borton have partnered with Walter Hinds and other locals to start a new company called Sierra High Farms. We are seeking Mono County permission to build our business on 14 of our 123 acre parcel along the California/Nevada border. Scroll down to read more about the suitability of our project for the Antelope Valley.
John Borton, Walter Hinds, and Jeff Hinds, on-hand to see Sierra High Farms’ well drilling in November of 2021.
Why here?
Drive about a mile past where the pavement ends on Eastside Lane and you'll reach the 123 acre tract of land we call Sierra High Farms. Our driveway traces the California side of the state line and also leads to the massive Park Cattle Company Ranch.
The sights and smells out here include sage, garlic, cattle, and alfalfa, and the work never ceases.
We at Sierra High Farms are seeking Mono County permission to use 14 acres of land we own for commercial cannabis cultivation. The lengthy licensing process for commercial cannabis is complex, requiring careful consideration in site location. We wanted our site to be:
remote
zoned properly
in harmony with current land use
spacious enough to disperse potential odor issues
The heart of our operation will be 4 raised-center aisle buildings designed to look like horse barns and fit naturally into the landscape.
Licensing also includes documenting compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Part of the CEQA process involves a 30-day public comment period. We've completed that step.
