The recent Hall of Flowers event in Ventura was a rewarding and productive experience for the Autumn Brands team, as well as a great opportunity to reconnect with industry peers, showcase our latest offerings and forge new connections.
Having attended Hall of Flowers events in Santa Rosa and Palm Springs since its beginning, the decision to participate in the Ventura edition was an easy one for us. The event was in our backyard—just 15 minutes from our Santa Barbara farm—so it was a convenient opportunity to reconnect with dispensaries and old and new partners in our local community.
Our co-founder, Hanna Brand, attended the event with Madison Waddell, our Central Coast brand ambassador and our two Los Angeles-based sales reps, Jennifer Resnick and Sarah Andrade.

Highlights from the Event
Tuesday was a set-up day for brands to get everything looking sharp. With our range of premium flower, pre-rolls, wellness products, topicals and elixirs in tow, we set up our booth, eager to show attendees what we offer. While we opted for a smaller booth to showcase our products, our impact was indisputable, driven by our passion for our products and dedication to authenticity.
The festivities started on Tuesday evening with a pre-party hosted by Sunstone and Buddist in Santa Ynez to launch the new Buddist review platform and Sunstone’s cannabis drinks. Attendees included industry influencers, dispensary owners, and legislative figures who mingled in the historic Sunstone Winery, an idyllic Old-World European-style compound, to celebrate cannabis culture and advocacy.
We also unveiled our newest addition to the Autumn Brands family: the Now Melt line, freshly delivered from our manufacturer. The overwhelming interest in our Now Melt line reaffirmed our commitment to delivering quality products and cultivating meaningful connections within the industry.

To promote our exciting collab with SoCal pop-reggae band Iration, special guests Micah Brown and Adam Taylor from the band joined us in the booth, which added an extra layer of excitement and authenticity. It was really valuable to have them with us to share why they have a cannabis line with us, why they’ve chosen the cultivars and how their band shares the same ethos as farm and family.
Building Bridges
This year’s show was jam-packed with new brands and it was great to see a lot more people from NorCal than we had expected. It was awesome to return to our roots and reconnect with familiar faces.
Our team navigated a whirlwind of meetings and interactions throughout the event, solidifying partnerships with dispensaries such as Nug Project Cannabis and Secret Garden.
Hall of Flowers isn’t just a showcase of cannabis products but a celebration of community, innovation and collaboration. We’ll see you at the next show—and we can’t wait to share more of what Autumn Brands has in store. Until next time, Ventura!
