About Seed & Smith

In early 2014 we came together to build an innovative company focused on two things: creating exceptional cannabis products and demonstrating our passion and our process for doing so. We began by rehabbing an old forklift manufacturing facility, turning a dated industrial space into a state of the art production campus that’s open to the public. Welcome to Seed & Smith. Here we meld science and love in our quest to trigger a renaissance in cannabis.
