About 7 Farms Down
7 Farms Down is a family-run Ontario cannabis cultivator that grows its flower the old-fashioned way — outside, in the field, under the sun. Founded by sixth-generation Chatham-Kent farmers Jason and Bill Guttridge alongside cousin Jay Glasier, the brand takes its name from the field that sits “seven farms down” from the cash-crop farm the family grew up on near Merlin, Ontario. The result is value-priced, sun-grown craft cannabis — dried flower, pre-rolls and cannabis seeds — that leans on heritage genetics and outdoor, living-soil farming rather than greenhouse or indoor production.

Tips for First-Timers
- Outdoor flower looks different. Sun-grown buds can have a more rustic, varied appearance than indoor flower — that is normal and not a quality flag.
- Start low with the pre-rolls. With listed THC in the 20s and into the low 30s, a few puffs is plenty when you are new.
- Check OCS for current stock. Listings rotate by harvest, so availability of a given strain can change between seasons.
