Wildfower Farms grows cannabis for recreational dispensaries around Colorado.
Growing cannabis is largely an indoor ordeal, though there are outdoor farmers harvesting buds once a year before the winter.

To learn how natural sunlight and elements produce top-shelf cannabis while presenting their own challenges, we went on a tour with Wildfower Farms inside the wholesale cannabis supplier's Ordway greenhouse.
