TRUE NORTH FAMILY FARMS True North Family Farms founder D’Andre CaldwellJohnson found his inspiration in the plant and his home on a 30-acre farm nestled in the heart of Trinity County.
JUNE 2022
THE FIRST TIME D’Andre CaldwellJohnson ever saw true north, he was in an airport. Despite the less-than-ideal setting, there was something about the moment that stayed with him. Thus, years later, when it came time for Caldwell-Johnson to pick a name and register his business, he knew just what to call it: True North Family Farms. “True north is your passion or your purpose in life,” Caldwell-Johnson explained. “I found purpose through Cannabis and now it’s my sole passion. It’s what I’ve committed myself to, and not only as a career choice, but as a life choice too.” For Caldwell-Johnson, that translates first and foremost to operating in as sustainable a manner as possible. That’s no small task, given True North Family Farms is spread across a whopping 30 acres of lush land in the Emerald Triangle’s Trinity County. That includes 20,000 square feet of mature canopy space – and don’t even get Caldwell-Johnson started on the views from the farm’s back porch.
