Friendship Garden, LLC

Friendship Garden, LLC has been approved for a Small Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation License by the California Department of Cannabis Control and Trinity County for a cultivation project located at 51 Manzanita Court, Hayfork, California, on Assessor’s Parcel Number 019-450-013-000. The project is limited to a mature canopy of 9,996 square feet, distributed across 121 existing and 83 proposed 7’x7’ growing areas, all situated on previously disturbed land with no tree removal or use of heavy equipment permitted. Approved infrastructure includes a 10’x12’ shed for harvest storage, a new 10’x12’ shed for processing, two 6’x50’ hoop houses for immature plants, an 8’x8’ shed for agricultural chemical storage, a 10’x10’ composting area for cannabis waste, and a 2,500-gallon water storage tank, all built on previously disturbed ground. Power is currently supplied by generators under 50 horsepower, with a future solar system planned. The site relies on an existing permitted septic system for wastewater and may include minimal road surfacing as needed. The project qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under Section 15183 due to its small scale and alignment with local land use regulations, and it adheres to Trinity County Ordinance No. 315-849 and Resolution No. 2020-103, which certified the environmental impact report. The applicant holds both a county and state license, and while no contract value, pricing terms, payment details, or formal contractual clauses are specified—consistent with its nature as a regulatory approval rather than a procurement contract—compliance with strict site and operational restrictions remains mandatory. The Environmental Evaluation Office of the Department of Cannabis Control serves as the primary point of contact for administrative and environmental oversight, with correspondence directed to P.O. Box 419106, Rancho Cordova, CA.
