CannaCribs: Season 7, Episode 7
In this episode, Nate visits Seed of Life in Billings, Montana
In this episode of CannaCribs, we head to Billings, Montana — the “metropolis” of Big Sky Country — to tour Seed of Life, one of the state’s most respected cultivation and retail brands. What started as two friends working at Sears, dreaming bigger than punching a clock, turned into a full-scale cultivation operation producing some of Montana’s most sought-after flower. From moving plants in a U-Haul at the last minute… to building a purpose-built facility just weeks ahead of a licensing showdown… this is a story about risk, grit, and betting everything on a plant they believed in.

From trap-house deliveries in a Nissan Versa to running multiple facilities and producing concentrates, pre-rolls, gummies, and caramels — this episode captures the raw entrepreneurial spirit shaping Montana’s market. As always, we spotlight the people, the processes, and the passion behind world-class cultivation.
