The Vision:

To catalyze the development of a truly organic / sustainable / regenerative cannabis sector.

What we're doing:

In 2017, I teamed up with HerbaBuena to help create an epic, beyond organic retailer and family of trusted brands, predicated on our unique and strict Quality Standards. As of September 1, 2019, we’ve re-launched the company, and offer a highly-curated selection of California’s purest cannabis. We offer California statewide home delivery, with same-day service in Marin, Sonoma & Napa counties, plus twice/week delivery throughout most of California. We’re grateful for your interest & support. Check us out here.

About Michael Straus:

For 25 years, Michael has dedicated his life to organic food and sustainable agriculture’s development. In his early years, Michael was key to the launch of Straus Family Creamery, the first organic dairy west of the Mississippi, which was started by his family. He then founded Straus Communications, one of the first public relations agencies specializing in organics and sustainability, with 100+ clients including Bon Appetit Management Company, Organic Bouquet, B Corporations and Safeway’s O Organics. Michael created the nationally-syndicated Beyond Organic Radio Show, and served as Senior Editor for Green Traveler Guides, where he interviewed eco-pioneers in Mongolia, Nepal, Indonesia, Lebanon and beyond. Currently, Michael co-manages Straus Home Ranch, his family's farmstead in coastal West Marin.

About "Hugo":

UrbanDictionary: "Hugo": a man who can hold his smoke, he can inhale a huge hit of weed with out the slightest cough afterward, a god of weed. Example: "I am so hugo it's not even funny." Hugo also happens to be Michael's middle name ... coincidence or... synchronicity?
