SAM GESTEN HIGHLAND PROVISIONS | FOUNDER
S
am Gesten is the type of guy who makes a positive impact on everyone he knows. His genuine enthusiasm for the plant is infectious – and it’s a quality that shines through in both his products and his impeccably clean, stateof-the-art facility in Bend. The 30-year-old native of Boulder, Colo. moved to Oregon half a decade ago to bring his lifelong passion for Cannabis cultivation to the Beaver State. Together with his partners Carl Allen, Alex Gomez and Ray Furth, Gesten founded Highland Provisions – where they currently release top-tier flower, solventless extracts and concentrates, as well as edibles out of their facility. We caught up with this true Stoner Owner to discuss his philosophy and his love for the plant.
