Rooted in a legacy of farming and land stewardship, our love for gardening runs deep. Meet Joao and Elizabeth Pires, the husband-and-wife duo behind Sanctuary Farms. Joao, a native of Brazil, carries the wisdom of his grandfather’s farming traditions and a knack for innovation. Elizabeth, born and raised in California, draws from her multicultural upbringing, grounded in respect, resilience, and a tireless work ethic. Together, they’ve transformed the family’s Northern California gardens into Sanctuary Farms—a craft cannabis company known for premium flower grown under natural light in living soil.
