The Josh D story began in 1991 when Josh Del Rosso and Matt "Bubba" Berger started developing OG Kush genetics in Orlando, Florida. By 1996, Del Rosso had moved to Los Angeles where he became one of the first cultivators to combine hydroponic indoor growing with what would become the most famous cannabis varietal in history. As a result, the majority of today's California cannabis market stems from the exact cultivar that Josh D Farms made famous.When recreational cannabis legalized in Washington, Del Rosso moved north with his wife, then returned to California when the Golden State legalized. The brand eventually partnered with Calyx Peak Companies, a multi-state operator based in Massachusetts, allowing for expanded operations and distribution. Josh D Farms has consistently dominated the prestigious Emerald Cup competitions, winning first place for Ice Cream Cake in 2019 and placing four strains in the top ten of the Mixed Light Flower Category. This recognition solidified Josh D's reputation as one of the industry's most elite cultivation operations.

Josh D's mission centers on preserving and sharing the authentic OG Kush legacy with the cannabis community worldwide. As Del Rosso states, "OG is a cornerstone of the genetic library of cannabis. Everybody should experience enjoying that flavor and sticky, resin-covered flowers we have become addicted to."The brand is committed to maintaining the highest cultivation standards through pesticide-free growing practices and meticulous hand-trimming processes. Josh D Farms positions itself as "the hyper-specialist in producing the cleanest, clearest, connoisseur-caliber cannabis varietals on the market."Beyond quality production, Josh D is dedicated to educating consumers about OG genetics and their cultural significance in cannabis history.
