At a glance
Sunnabis is the name historically associated with Humboldt County cultivator, educator, and advisor Wendy Kornberg and a second-generation, sun-grown cannabis farm. Current public evidence supports Kornberg's continuing professional identity, but it does not verify an active Sunnabis cultivation license or a current retail product line in September 2026. Three California cultivation-license records indexed from Department of Cannabis Control data show expiration dates in July 2023. The former brand site displays an expired Squarespace page. High Rise should therefore treat Sunnabis as a historical farm profile, not as a confirmed active cannabis producer.
Humboldt roots
Biographical sources describe Kornberg as a second-generation Humboldt cultivator with family ties to the region's cannabis history. Interviews and conference biographies connect her work to outdoor cultivation, regenerative or soil-focused practices, education, and consulting. Those sources establish a credible person and farming history. They do not, by themselves, establish the current legal status of a particular farm, the availability of Sunnabis flower, or the specifications of products that may once have carried the name.
What the older brand record claimed
The existing High Rise copy linked Sunnabis with full-season outdoor flower, topicals, consulting, and the Emerald Triangle. Some of that framing is consistent with historical profiles of Kornberg, but claims about a present product catalog, awards, or ongoing farm operations need dated primary evidence. A social profile can show that an individual remains active in the community; it cannot substitute for a current license, first-party catalog, or licensed-retail availability. Likewise, a conference biography can establish professional background without proving that a branded harvest is presently entering regulated commerce.
License and website evidence
The Higher Origins license index, which says it draws from California DCC data, lists three Sunnabis Humboldt Full Sun Farms licenses as expired on July 12, 2023. That is useful status evidence but should still be checked against the authoritative state portal before any reactivation decision. Separately, sunnabis.com does not currently publish brand content. The combination supports a hold, although it does not prove that Kornberg has left cannabis, that no successor entity exists, or that the name will never return.
Editorial treatment
If retained internally, this profile should use past tense for farm and product claims and present tense only for facts independently shown to be current. It should not imply that consumers can buy Sunnabis products now, and it should avoid unverified wellness or therapeutic claims. The missing hero image also remains unresolved; an older social image, package shot, or logo should not be copied without identity, provenance, and rights review.
Evidence needed to reactivate
Publication should require a current California license tied to the operating entity, direct confirmation from Kornberg or a verified first-party channel, a current catalog or licensed retail source, and a rights-cleared image. If that evidence appears, the page can be revised around the new operating facts while preserving the documented Humboldt history. Until then, the most accurate result is a complete historical candidate held from public release, not a thin page that presents an uncertain business status as fact.
