Episode #24: Grain to Grass with Spencer Ploessl

This episode we are joined by Spencer Ploessl of DarkStar Cabins.

Spencer is an outdoor home grower, brand builder, and cannabis beverage industry operator whose path into cultivation came through homebrewing, gardening, and a deep curiosity about how things are made. We originally met through LinkedIn through the cannabis beverage industry, and stayed in touch through conversations about growing, the industry, and the simple pull of working with plants. His perspective brings together outdoor cultivation, appreciation for the plant beyond consumption, and the value of slowing down and reconnecting with nature.

I asked Spencer to join me today to talk about:

• His path from homebrewing into cannabis cultivation

• What outdoor growing teaches you about patience and observation

• Managing land and working with nature instead of against it

• What growing on raw land taught him about patience

• What he has learned from simply starting and paying attention

• Why stepping outside and disconnecting matters for everyone

• As well as his advice to other growers.
