Finding The FUNK

Hidden Forest Farms is a small-batch, regenerative cannabis farm on the mid coast of Maine, founded by Hunter and Matt. Starting from a barren former logging, they’ve transformed the land into a thriving outdoor sanctuary using regenerative practices—like rotational chicken grazing, Hugelkultur beds, and compost-driven living soil—to grow terp-rich, resinous plants under the sun.

This episode we dive deep with Miners Melts from the mountains in Colorado. This is good one packed with good info! Hopefully everyone enjoys it!

“Welcome to the show! Joining us today is Tsunami Seeds — West Coast breeders on a mission to create the highest-quality cannabis genetics with killer flavor, massive yields, and commercial viability. Known for hits like Animal Tsunami and their signature frosty, terp-heavy hybrids, they’re drowning the mid game one wave at a time. Let’s get into it!”
Feel free to tweak any wording to match your podcast’s style or energy. If you have more details (like a specific strain focus or guest name), I can refine it further!

Today’s guest is a straight-up O.G. from the Mitten State. Smokey the Bear from Michigan has been growing since 2008 . Then in 2018 he took the next step and started pressing rosin, and since then he’s become one of those names in the solventless game that other hash makers look up to. Educator, hash-class teacher, community builder, and the guy behind some serious terp-chasing heat.
We’re talking his full journey — the evolution of Michigan cannabis, the transition from flower to rosin, lessons learned the hard way, favorite genetics, and what it really takes to keep finding the funk year after year.
So sit back, spark up (or dab up), and let’s get into it — this is Finding the Funk with Smokey the Bear!”

What’s going on everyone—welcome back to Finding the Funk. I’m your host, Jtownfunk.
Today’s guest is someone who’s helped shape Missouri’s cannabis culture through community, competition, and straight passion for the plant. Coming out of Columbia, Missouri, you probably know him as GrowingWithJustin—the mind behind some of the state’s most talked-about events, including the Frost Bowl and the Hash & Glass competition.
Justin isn’t just about growing fire—he’s about bringing people together, pushing quality forward, and creating spaces where growers, hash makers, and artists can all connect. In this episode, we’re diving into how it all started, what it really takes to throw events like these, and where Missouri cannabis is headed next.
So sit back, spark up if that’s your thing, and let’s get into it—this is Finding the Funk with GrowingWithJustin.”
