Sky Standard Gardens

Sky Standard Gardens is a small cannabis producer in Bellingham, Washington. Their facility is a small graffiti-covered building off the freeway, hidden in a blanket of sound from passing cars and trucks. There’s a van with the same matching graffiti parked out front. Shannon and Sheila make up the Sky Standard packaging crew, they’re sitting in a circle chatting on break-over cigarettes.

Sky Standard owners and operators Davey Palmer and Zackary Cabral walk out of their facility in disheveled work gear. Cannabis farmers and potato farmers have similar aesthetics, dirty work clothes, and calloused hands. Cannabis cultivation is hard work, but that didn’t dampen their spirits. Cabral and Palmer are all smiles walking out of their facility.
