Our Story

Born from a Passion
for the Plant

Zota Gardens was founded in 2025 with a single mission: grow exceptional cannabis the right way. Rooted in Frogtown, St. Paul, we operate under Minnesota's OCM Micro Cultivator license and keep our canopy intentionally small so every plant gets the attention it deserves.

We're not chasing volume. We're chasing quality — dense, trichome-rich flowers with complex terpene profiles, grown by hands that genuinely care. Our first batch hits METRC and Minnesota dispensaries in July 2026.

Why Zota Gardens

The Micro Cultivator Difference

🌱

Small Canopy, Big Focus

Our micro license keeps our grow intentionally small. Every plant gets hands-on attention from seed to harvest — no shortcuts, no compromise.

Hand Grown & Trimmed

From training and topping to the final trim, human hands touch every plant. The result is premium flower that bulk grows simply can't replicate.

🔬

Terpene Obsessed

We select cultivars for expressive terpene profiles — not just THC numbers. Real flavor, real effects, real craft cannabis.

📋

Fully OCM Compliant

Licensed under Minnesota's OCM. Every batch is METRC tracked and third-party tested before it ever reaches a dispensary shelf.

Grown in the Land of 10,000 Lakes

Minnesota's seasons run deep — and so does our commitment to growing cannabis that reflects the character of this place we call home.

Under the Lights

Every plant in our canopy is watched, trained, and nurtured from seed to harvest — exactly the way premium cannabis deserves to be grown.

What We're Growing

First Run Strains

Crushers, Dogwalker OG, Blue Z, and Grape Gas — all hand-grown, heading to Minnesota dispensaries July 2026.

From Our Garden

"Every bud is grown by hand, touched by real people who care about the plant."

This is what small-batch cannabis looks like up close — dense, frosted, expressive. Purple hues, thick trichome coverage, and complexity you can see before you even open the jar. This is what we're bringing to Minnesota dispensaries in July 2026.

Crushers

Potent, dense, hard-hitting hybrid

True to its name — dense, rock-hard buds loaded with resin. A hard-hitter grown with the meticulous hands-on care we give every plant in our canopy.
