Get to know more about Rustic Roots Farm.

​

Introducing Rustic Roots Farm, our family-owned cannabis brand. Co-founded by Conner Whitacre Sr. and Tyler Adkins, with a common goal to bring an exceptional cannabis brand to markets throughout the US. A cannabis brand that embodies a deep commitment to its customers and looks to put strong roots down in communities across the country. 

 

When we embarked on our journey in March of 2024, we had many plans and aspirations. We felt a calling to the cannabis cultivation world. As we dove into figuring out what it would take to become a cultivator in Ohio, we were quickly chewed up and spit out into an abyss of uncertainty, as regulations have yet to be set in place. We did however learn that we are looking at a minimum of 4 years before we could even be considered for a license. Then, with the long build-out times, all the risk we would have to assume, and time we would have to spend, all just to possibly still not get licensed. Then, we would have to wait another 2 years after that to apply again. So, we decided it best to search for a new direction. 

 

This direction is one that includes getting customers access to our great brand much sooner than 4-6 years, with a much further reach than just in Ohio. Our new plan is to partner with multi-state operators and single state operators that embody our same values, across the United States. Early on we talked heavily about how important it was for us to create the best all around experience possible for our customers. We’ve always been fascinated by the diversity of the cannabis plant. We have also always believed that you get out what you put in. What is good for the plant is good for us and our customers. We have the highest standards for our cannabis products. One of the main standards is that everything is as organic as possible. We aim to stay true to the way this plant was intended to be grown by mother nature. 

 

When you delve into a Rustic Roots Farm product, you will embark on a journey that is full of flavor and gives the utmost beneficial experience possible. Some cannabis is tasteless and burns harshly, that's not at any fault of the plant. It is how the plant was fed, grown, dried, and cured. When you practice the most natural and organic ways to do these things is when you get the best product possible. We at Rustic Roots Farm won't rest until customers across the country have access to the exceptional experience that our brand has to offer.

After years of playing football and just thrashing on my body in general when I was younger, I ended up with some chronic pain in various different joints. I feel too young to be complaining about pain, but like I said, I did not make choices that would be easy on my body. From a young age I’ve been strong willed, and I’ve pushed the limits of what I was told could or could not be done. 

​

To this day I carry myself in the manner of an idealist that won't be told no. If god put the idea in my head, then it means it’s possible. I’ve been told at various times in my life why certain things wouldn’t work, and I’ve even listened at times, because their arguments were “legitimate”. So , I thought. I came to find out later that both they and I were really wrong. I should have listened to my inner voice. ​This is what I plan to do, indefinitely, with the cannabis industry.

 

I could have been a lot of things in this lifetime. Anything from being a football player in the NFL, to a doctor, and most tell me a lawyer. I listened to what they told me about being in the NFL, and found out they were wrong. Then I tried a few other suggestions that didn’t pan out. So, by the time we got to “you should be a doctor, or a lawyer”, I decided to stop listening. I knew I had a greater purpose than that. I just didn't know what that purpose was yet. 

​

Fast forward quite a few years and quite a few trials and tribulations later, I found it! The thing that would not only provide me with relief from my chronic pain, but a greater purpose. That purpose has to do with cannabis and spreading the word about all the benefits it can have. For instance it helps people with parkinsons have calm steady movements. This is more than a plant, It is more than a drug, it is a very diverse medicine that could replace many different medicinals that have horrible side effects, or that just don’t work at all. 

​

Cannabis is a huge part of our future health in this country, and I plan to stand on the forefront with everybody who understands this plant in the same way as I do, and promote its benefits. I am committed to helping Rustic Roots Farm spread awareness, and the best cannabis products possible to people in communities across the United States.

Emerging from a series of distressing experiences, I found myself grappling with PTSD stemming from childhood trauma and various chronic bodily ailments in the early stages of my adult life. I felt adrift and exhausted. The medications I was prescribed turned me into a mere shell, devoid of any emotions. It became an endless loop of trying different treatments in hopes that one would finally work. That is, until I discovered cannabis. 

 

At first, I underestimated its potential. Yet, seeing it from an adult perspective now emphasizes its ability to help others. I experienced the therapeutic benefits it offered my body and the soothing effects it had on my mind. I realized I had stumbled upon the solution I was desperately seeking—a remedy that genuinely assists without dulling my sense of self. Once I understood the potential of cannabis, I immersed myself in what would become my lifelong passion: educating others about this extraordinary plant. 

 

This realization motivated me to collaborate with a cannabis brand that honors the plant’s natural essence—organic medicine. I am firmly convinced that more people should be informed about the healing attributes of cannabis, both mentally and physically. Through Rustic Roots, our mission aligns with this belief. I am dedicated to spreading the therapeutic advantages of cannabis throughout the nation. This endeavor aims to create a dependable source of quality medicine for the citizens of this great country. 

 

Rustic Roots embodies the passion I uncovered years ago, and we are devoted to working alongside like-minded individuals who share our values and commitment. Leveraging my background, I conducted a thorough analysis of the cannabis sector, which reinforced my resolve to devote my life to this mission. With a heartfelt enthusiasm for the plant’s potential, my goal is to spread knowledge, share experiences, and provide high-quality cannabis products to communities throughout the country. I look forward to the challenges and successes that lie ahead.
