A Unicorn In Cannabis - Melissa Whitley of Mazel Tov Farms
Melissa Whitley is the owner of Mazel Tov Farms, a cannabis brand available in the Monterey Bay area of California. And as you can tell from the name of her company, her story is one of both persistence and the Jewish faith. Melissa is the mother of two young children and a trail blazer in the wild world of cannabis, motherhood and social equity. The Canna Mom Show is happy to launch Season 2 with Melissa Whitley to talk cannabis farming, cannabis business and how Judaism brought cannabis back into her life.
