What From the Earth does

From the Earth is an independently owned, multi-state licensed cannabis retailer operating two flagship California dispensaries — Santa Ana (3023 S. Orange Ave) and Port Hueneme (2675 N. Ventura Rd) — under licenses C10-0001595-LIC (OCDD Enterprises, Inc) and C10-0000030-LIC (DBO Investments, PH, LLC), with a corporate headquarters listed at 10250 Constellation Blvd in Los Angeles. The company sells a full cannabis assortment (flower, pre-rolls, vape cartridges, edibles, concentrates, tinctures, topicals, beverages, and capsules) sourced from more than 30 third-party brands including Stiiizy, Alien Labs, Jeeter, CBX, Connected, 710 Labs, Raw Garden, Heavy Hitters, and Kanha, and serves both adult-use recreational consumers (21+) and medical marijuana patients (18+).

The company's distribution model combines in-store retail, curbside pickup, and same-day delivery across Orange County and Ventura County, with online ordering and menu management powered by the Dutchie e-commerce platform. There is no proprietary technology or AI/ML capability disclosed; the technology stack is a third-party SaaS layer over a conventional dispensary operating model. Revenue mechanics are transactional unit-pricing (flower starting at ~$15/eighth, 3.5g flower $44–$53, 1g vapes $20–$28, pre-rolls from $4), with a 15% California state tax, a 6% Missouri recreational tax, location-specific delivery minimums ($50 in Port Hueneme, $100 in Santa Barbara/Fullerton), and an FTE Rewards loyalty program plus a $30/$30 referral program driving repeat traffic.

From the Earth is in an active growth phase, having expanded from California into Missouri with multiple dispensary locations in the Kansas City metro (Brookside, Independence, Raytown, Westside, Downtown KC) and additional markets under development, while also launching an FTE franchise/licensing program to scale the brand. The company is a two-time WEEDCON Dispensary of the Year award winner and was founded by Kintu Patel; key leadership includes Dan Zaharoni (General Counsel), David Moss (VP, Development), and Jayson Quinones. Headcount is stated at 51–100 employees.
