Organic Sun-Grown Buds
by Lee Allen
Bob Dylan didn ’ t want to work on Maggie ’ s Farm but today he ’ d surely enjoy a puff on some sun-grown organic cannabis produced at his hit song ’ s namesake .
Here ’ s a thought — if we ’ re going to regulate how our fruits and vegetables are grown , shouldn ’ t it make sense to use that same process with other things we put into our bodies ? If we want our salads to be organic , shouldn ’ t we want our weed to be organic too ? While Bob Dylan made electric blues history in the 1960s with his song “ Maggie ’ s Farm ,” Bill Conkling had no idea he ’ d be making contemporary marijuana history with Colorado ’ s version of Maggie ’ s Farm , the first Clean Green Certified cannabis company in that state . Maggie ’ s Farm works to recreate elements nature has already produced and perfected eons ago . “ Our boss is Mother Nature , and our intent is to cooperate with , not compete against , her ,” he says . Along his diversified career path , Conkling has done several things going from destroying weeds as an organic food farmer to growing weed as founder and CEO of Maggie ’ s multiple locations . “ I had gotten away from cannabis cultivation and was building homes , taking advantage of the housing boom , when friends began encouraging me to get back into growing again . The flower available from indoor grow a decade ago was of disappointing quality , so I used the former farm in Fremont County to begin growing 600 plants of medicinal marijuana ,” says Conkling .
