218 Cultivation was born in the summer of 2023, the same year Minnesota took a bold step forward in legalization. As a passionate grower based in northern Minnesota — in the heart of the 218 area code — I saw this moment as more than just a legal shift. It was the beginning of a movement, and I wanted to be part of it.
With no formal background in agriculture, but a deep curiosity and a drive to learn, I started growing from scratch — experimenting, researching, and documenting every step of the way. I launched the 218 Cultivation YouTube channel to share that journey in real time: the wins, the mistakes, and everything in between. It quickly became more than just a hobby. It became a community.
218 Cultivation is about more than just growing plants — it's about growing knowledge, growing together, and embracing the evolving cannabis culture in Minnesota and beyond. Whether you're a first-time grower, a seasoned cultivator, or just curious, you're welcome here.
This is just the beginning — and we're glad you're along for the ride.
