Ed "Ocho" Ochoa became a Certified Ganjier in September 2021. In the tradition of the wine sommelier, cigar aficionado, or master chocolatier, Ganjier is a first-of-its-kind, rigorous, multi-tiered cannabis sommelier certification created and taught by the most respected names in the field with the intent of producing an entirely new class of cannabis professional—the Ganjier. After attending several Emerald Cups, Ed became inspired to find ways to contribute to sun grown, grass roots cannabis farms rather than supporting the traditional markets. The education into certification consists of identifying density, aroma, terpene profile, trichomes and more than you ever thought was in one little bud. Ocho thanks the Ganjier process for allowing him to steward the land, assist in planting and harvesting, reconnect his soul with soil, and build a deeper relationship with the sacred plant.
