Autumn Brands is a woman- and family-owned cannabis farm in Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County, California. Two families built it: the Brands, fifth-generation Dutch growers behind the B&H Flowers greenhouse operation, and the Sheltons. It grows greenhouse flower under natural sunlight and sells flower, pre-rolls, elixirs and topicals across California.
The founders
Hans Brand is chief executive and founder, a fifth-generation farmer from the Netherlands who co-founded B&H Flowers after immigrating to the United States. Johnny Brand, a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo agricultural business graduate, is chief operating officer and head grower. Hanna Brand, a Cal Poly environmental horticultural science graduate, is chief financial officer and chief sales officer. Autumn Shelton is the fourth co-founder, and the company name carries both her first name and the Brand family surname.
Shelton has described the partnership this way: the Brand family brought decades of hands-on experience in agriculture, business and sales, and the Shelton family brought financial and compliance work, sales, customer service and cannabis knowledge.
How the farm grows
Autumn Brands grows in coastal greenhouses that pair natural sunlight with year-round weekly harvests. The farm irrigates with recirculated artesian water and runs a spray-free, no-pesticide program built on beneficial insects and biological pest management. Flower is hand-selected, slow-dried, cured and hand-trimmed.
Products
Flower ships in 3.5-gram jars, 7-gram pouches, 14-gram smalls jars and 28-gram ounces, across cultivars including Purple Push Pop, Purple Carbonite, Wedding Cake, Mango Haze, Peach Dreams, Mac n Cookies, Blue Dream, LA Pop Rockz and Limonene Liftoff. Pre-rolls run as one-gram singles, six-packs of 0.6-gram joints and ten-packs of 0.36-gram minis. The catalog also carries cannabis elixirs, a Muscle & Joint Salve, the Now Melt line and an Iration collaboration.
Awards
Autumn Brands took seven medals at the 2026 California Cannabis Awards: two gold and one silver for Sour Power #69 in terpene categories, three bronze for Purple Carbonite across CBDa and terpene categories, and silver for the Nourishing Muscle & Joint Salve in wellness topicals. The farm has also placed at the Farmer's Cup 420 San Diego, MJBizCon and the MJ Bowl.
Tours and podcast
Autumn Brands sells only in California and lists stockists through a dispensary locator. It runs a free farm tour once a month by registration and produces the "inhale.exhale.elevate" podcast.
The July 2026 award announcement attributes the seven medals to Sour Power #69, Purple Carbonite and the Nourishing Muscle & Joint Salve. Those results do not mean every Autumn Brands product received an award, and competition categories are not interchangeable with laboratory compliance testing.
Cultivation detail in 2026
An August 2026 farm article describes the use of beneficial insects in the Carpinteria greenhouses and connects cultivar aroma to naturally occurring terpene profiles. The company says it grows without pesticide sprays, slowly dries and cures flower, and hand-prepares it for packaging. Those statements describe the farm's process; consumers can use the batch label and required test information for the finished item they buy.
Formats and availability
Autumn Brands sells through licensed California dispensaries rather than shipping cannabis from the public website. The catalog includes several flower sizes, singles and multipack pre-rolls, topicals and other lines. A store locator or current retailer menu is more reliable than an old fixed list, particularly for rotating cultivars and award-winning lots that may sell through quickly.
Farm tours, podcast and blog
The company advertises farm tours by registration and publishes the inhale.exhale.elevate podcast alongside its written blog. These channels add context about founders, farming and industry topics. Tour dates and episode availability can change, so visitors should confirm the schedule before making plans. The blog continued publishing through August 2026.
