Our founder Brian Larsen has been deep into horticulture for most of his life, earning a Master’s degree in horticulture from the University of Nebraska and working in the cannabis world for the last 20 years on both sides of the legal horizon. 

Brian’s love of animals is the reason he cultivates the nation’s only certified vegan, kosher, and pesticide-free cannabis. 

Plants of all sorts are his passion, and he gets up each morning striving to bring fine, fresh frozen cannabis to all who insist upon clean herb without any harm to animals.  

With Zen Ridge Farm, Brian’s vision has manifested at last: no animals need die for you to get high.

When he’s not actively working on the farm, Brian is usually jamming on a guitar or taking care of the family animals: KittyKat (the dog), Charlie and Shakira (the cats), Izzy and Lizzy (the chickens).
