This holiday season, Northern California’s Emerald Triangle invites you to celebrate its unparalleled quality with the launch of the 12 Jays of X-Mas Gift Box—a one-of-a-kind collaboration showcasing twelve premium pre-rolls from twelve renowned craft farms. This limited-edition gift embodies the heritage, craftsmanship, and sustainability of Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity Counties while directly supporting small, family-owned farms and nonprofit trade associations.

Beautifully packaged, the 12 Jays of X-Mas Gift Box offers a curated journey through some of the Emerald Triangle’s most iconic offerings. Each pre-roll represents the artistry and dedication of legacy farmers, with strains designed to deliver diverse experiences—from relaxing evenings to uplifting daytime adventures.

“This isn’t just a gift; it’s an opportunity to connect with the stories, people, and practices that make the Emerald Triangle legendary,” said Natalynne DeLapp, Executive Director of the Humboldt County Growers Alliance (HCGA). “By purchasing the 12 Jays Gift Box, you’re supporting small farms that have been the backbone of this community for generations.”

“The 12 Jays of X-Mas Gift Box is a groundbreaking step for small farmers, demonstrating how we can unite to elevate our brands and connect directly with consumers, said Judi Nelson, Sol Spirit Farm, Co-Producer of the 12 Jays Project. This project showcases the strength and resilience of the Emerald Triangle community, proving that collaboration can pave the way for a brighter future for craft farming.”
