Sue Carlton, AKA Ranchera Mamí, is owner and head farmer of the leading hemp farm Ranchera Familia in California.

Describing the mission of her farm, she states, “We value the importance of creating a healthy harmony of farming through a positive relationship with all that surrounds us including the land, animals and people. The culture and history of agriculture is deeply rooted within us as we cultivate with these practices of our indigenous ancestors and others in mind while we honor the practices. Our farming is a combination of the past and the present.  Through promoting a balance of low energy use, investing in reusable farming styles such as cover cropping and in ground cages, seed propagation and preservation, and healthy garden inputs we can reduce our carbon footprint while revitalizing the land we live and farm on for generations after.”

“I call this playlist Grow Room Seduction For The Ladies!” the entrepreneur says. "Being a female grower I love letting my femininity soar through my music, outfits, attitude, makeup and nails. expressing the divine feminine nature to the fullest."

Tove Lo - "Habits (Stay High)"

Who doesn't love a good song that points out our affection for the plant? Honestly, it takes me back almost 10 years ago, just turning 21, going out partying, finding myself, break ups, traveling the world and how I moved into this industry through my own self-recovery journey.

Flight Facilities Featuring Giselle - "Crave You"

I truly crave plant vibration in all forms: the energy, the aroma, the taste, the lewks, all of how they make me feel and how they make others feel.

Grimes - "Genesis"

I love all the eclectic celestial sounds from this track, it honestly makes me want to dance anytime I listen to it. I like to imagine what space would be like, even though the highest I ever wanna be is from the plant. LOL.

Paper Diamond Featuring Gavin Turek - "In My Right Mind"

Maybe I just like beats to dance to. I used to be a rave girl and so I find myself listening to a lot of music that stimulates me through bass, lyrics and repetition.

Cannons - "Fire For You"

This song just makes me want to make love to my plants. Touching plants is a gentle process that requires delicate work moving throughout each one or the room, it’s like a beautiful dance. When I think of the work I do with my plants to caress, nourish and reap the benefits of their fruitful nature it is something I see as an act of love.
