Meet Mike
Mike grew up in Iowa until he moved to South Dakota during his teenage years. He met his wife in 1996 and together they have two grown children, three pitbulls and a couple cats on their acreage.
He is excited to be a part of South Dakota's Cannabis Industry. Having a construction background was a huge benefit last year as he built the perfect place to grow.
Mike has completed the University of Wisconsin-Plattevilles’ Cannabis Agriculture and Horticulture Certificate Program. The program was full of useful information and he gained knowledge that will benefit the patients that use his products. He looks forward to growing more premium cannabis for the patients of South Dakota.
His first plants went in around July of 2022 and he’s been enjoying every part of the grow process. His favorite part of the process is seeing the final product ready for patients.

Meet Max
Max is 14 years old. Not our first pit but our sweetest!
He’s a gentle giant that needed to be rehomed at a young age. He loves to guide the other dogs into trouble. Max will roam the acreage for hours and afterwards he can’t wait to cuddle. He is for sure our cuddle guy and with his old man status, he thinks listening in an option.
Meet Thor
If you're a visitor you get a Thor Badge!
Thor is our smartest and maybe silliest boy at 5 years old. He loves to run, play and run some more! Thor was a bit too spunky for old man Max so we rescued Loki for a playmate!
Thor has some anxiety so he prefers to be on his acreage around his people, but by far our smartest four legged boy.
Meet Vinny
Vinny is living his best life out here learning and growing daily! He love to press his luck with Thor and is settling in well as the baby.
Meet Loki
Loki was our rescue from El Paso. He was killed in a hit and run on our road May 31st, 2024.
We built Loki’s “Doggie Hilton” or also know as Loki’s palace shortly after he arrived home. Loki loved his palace his pool and pool chairs. His personality was the best, his kisses were even better and we were sure(or he was sure)he came from a royal bloodline. Loki is terribly missed and his palace sits empty.
To honor our prince Loki we will now be using his palace to foster puppies in need. He is our forever puppy and we will miss him forever.
