Our Story
Where It All Began
Matt and Chase met as 10-year-old kids in 1999. That lifelong friendship would endure and be the seed of something much bigger.
After studying together at NC State University, they launched Endless Sun Farms in 2013. Four years of hands-on commercial farming taught them many hard lessons.
In 2017, they pivoted to found Triangle Hemp. Today, two childhood friends are working to demystify cannabis cultivation and put quality genetics in the hands of anyone willing to try growing.
From the Endless Sun Farms Days
What We Believe
Grow It Yourself
We believe every adult in America should have the right to grow cannabis at home.
For decades, people were told they couldn't grow a plant. Not because it was dangerous, but because it was prohibited. Laws are changing, and in a lot of states, growing cannabis at home is now legal. For many people, doing it for the first time feels like more than a hobby. It feels like taking something back.
We look forward to the day that's true in all 50 states.
Know What You're Consuming
When you grow your own, you know exactly what went into it.
No guessing about pesticides. No wondering what was sprayed or when. No supply chain you just have to trust. You grew it. You were there the whole time.
Cannabis has helped a lot of people, us included. For many, it's a better fit than things society has considered perfectly normal for generations. Growing your own is just the most honest way to consume it.
The Plant Deserves Better
The stigma was manufactured. The plant didn't earn it.
Cannabis got a bad reputation that had nothing to do with what it actually is. It belongs in the garden right alongside your tomatoes, your sunflowers, your herbs. There's nothing about this plant that says otherwise.
Honestly, it's one of the more interesting things you can grow. The smell, the structure, the way it changes as it flowers. The colors it can throw late in the season. Grow it once and pay attention, and it's hard not to appreciate it for what it is.
