Cultivation Technician Job Posting

About A Golden State:

A Golden State was born in Northern California under the watch of the Cascade Mountains. What started from humble beginnings, long before the cannabis renaissance, has blossomed into one of California’s leaders in high quality cannabis flower.

Our operation is forward thinking and technically progressive, but our cultivation style remains true to our roots. We water our plants with snowmelt which trickles down from Mount Shasta, and we grow in natural soil derived from coconut hulls, yielding consistently premium flower.
