Where: 52 North 3rd Street, Yakima, Washington

Croptoberfest is a chance to come together to celebrate the new and beautiful cannabis industry.

According to Croptoberfest, “We find ourselves in a tremendously exciting time in history. Never have we seen a prohibited plant that holds so much value to today’s economy be released from the chains of the mis-education that over seventy years of propaganda have delivered our society. We launched Croptoberfest to assist in these efforts.”

The educational seminar will feature many distinguished speakers such as Joe Beckerman, Principle of Hemp Ace International and longtime cannabis agriculture activist, Dr. Alan Schreiber President of Agricultural Development Group, Inc. which provides independent research and consulting services to agriculture industries, and Jedidiah Haney who founded Evergreen Industries SPC.
