What you can buy at the farmstand
The counter carries what the farm is currently running, so the menu moves with the harvest rather than with a distributor’s catalogue.
- Packaged flower — 3.5 g, 7 g, 14 g and 28 g bags, plus 7 g glass jars
- Pre-rolls — singles, 2-packs and 14-packs, rolled from the same hand-trimmed flower that goes into the bags
- Live rosin vapes — solventless, pressed from fresh frozen material
- Current cultivars — Lemon Cherry Gelato Runtz, Super Silver Haze, Papaya Mosa, Pink Z, Zours, Jelly Donutz, Orange Cherry Gelato, Maddfruit, Runtz x Layer Cake and others as they cycle
Batch Certificates of Analysis are available at the counter. If you want to know the terpene profile rather than just the THC number, ask — that is the document that has it.
Farmstand or dispensary: what is actually different
| Farmstand | Dispensary | |
|---|---|---|
| Licence | Retail attached to a cultivation site | Standalone retail storefront |
| What is sold | Only cannabis grown on that property | Products sourced from many producers |
| Selection | Narrow, tied to the current harvest | Broad, many brands and formats |
| Traceability | To the room and the harvest date | To the brand on the package |
| Who serves you | People who work the farm | Retail staff |
Neither is better in the abstract. If you want breadth of choice, a dispensary in Eureka or Fortuna will serve you better. If you want to buy flower a few hundred feet from where it was grown, and ask the person who grew it how long it cured, that is what a farmstand is for.
Before you drive out
- Bring ID. 21+, government-issued, physical. It is checked every visit, every time.
- Bring cash. Debit works where supported; credit card acceptance in cannabis retail is unreliable everywhere in California.
- Call ahead for a specific cultivar. Small-batch means things sell out. (707) 740-7400 saves a 40-minute round trip.
- Do not consume on site or in the vehicle. California allows consumption on private property only, and Highway 36 runs past federal land where possession rules are different.
- Plan for daylight. Highway 36 is a rural mountain highway with no lighting and limited signal.
Can’t make the drive?
Lotta Farms flower is carried by licensed dispensaries across California, and Revolution Emporium in Ukiah delivers. Pre-orders run through Treez and Weedmaps menus. There is no direct-to-consumer shipping — cannabis cannot legally be mailed in California, or anywhere else in the United States.
