WE ARE FARMERS. FIRST AND ALWAYS.

Family-owned and fiercely independent, our farm has been proudly pioneering legal cannabis cultivation in Santa Barbara since 2015. We are grateful to our County Supervisors for putting forth the sensible legislation that has allowed us to continue to do what we do best: to provide locally grown, safe, legal, alternative therapies. In doing so we are able to support our family, employees and community right here in Buellton.

At Busy Bee’s Organics, we like to say we are ‘sun-grown with love’ and this attitude permeates everything we do. Our farm and community is a place that we have come to love and nurture as much as it nurtures us. We are proud members of the Buellton Chamber of Commerce and the town of Buellton that we call home.

THE MENDENHALL MUSEUM

Atrue gem in Buellton is the Mendenhall Museum, a private collection of the Mendenhall family featuring petroliana gasoline pumps, vintage signs and artifacts, neon lights and so much more. The collection started with the late Jack Mendenhall, who upon selling his last service station in 1976 began traveling and selling "Open" and "Closed" signs for businesses. While out on the road, he began collecting gasoline pumps which grew into much more that is displayed in the museum today. You could say he was the original, "American Picker".

The collection is meticulously displayed throughout the property in adjoining garages and in stand-alone buildings. Jack's son Mark and Mark's wife Vickie reside at the museum and offer tours to the public. Tours may be arranged by calling ahead. The Mendenhall Museum also hosts private parties and makes for a unique venue for groups and events.

Another purpose of the museum is that it also acts as the Dry Lakes Racing Hall of Fame. Recognizing some of the fastest land speed racers in our history, a variety of cars and trophies are on display throughout the museum along with collections of Dry Lakes Racing memorabilia.

The Mendenhall Museum is a one of a kind museum that you don't see everywhere. It is an honor to have this piece of Buellton's history in the center of town and we are thankful we can share it with our residents and guests.
