Güd Gardens came to fruition on a massive sticky note in 2016. Jessica Clements, who has lived in Oregon for over a decade and has been farming cannabis since 2010, says she was brainstorming farm names with a friend after weed was legalized recreationally and she was allowed to expand her operation beyond medical. “We kept going back and forth,” Clements says, “so I was joking and wrote ‘Güd’ and was like, ‘It’s a placeholder.’ But ultimately, it stuck and we couldn’t stop saying Güd.” At Clements’ 5.5-acre farm on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon, a core group of five, all-women workers strive to make community connections and education paramount.
