Adam Welly is co-founder and owner of Wayward Seed Farm in Fremont, Ohio. With an innate passion for food, cooking, and farming, Adam started a small farm in 2005 to provide heirloom vegetables to local chefs and his community. Twenty years later, he farms over 150 acres, leads a marketing co-op of organic farmers, and has sold over sixty different organic vegetable crops regionally. Additionally, Adam’s family has maintained a generational footprint in cannabis seed preservation.

As an expert on commercial organic produce production, Adam has translated his knowledge of farming and cannabis into consulting relationships with a focus on outdoor and greenhouse cannabis production highlighting cost-reduction, efficiency, and genetic suitability. With a focus on field design, irrigation, soil fertility, and regional strain selection he offers value in an increasingly competitive market.

Adam’s desire to preserve heirloom crops and adaptable varieties of cannabis for outdoor production align with his dedication to sustainability through his focus on building soil fertility in farmlands. He is continually perfecting Wayward Seed’s soil-building program with tested and individualized conservation strategies incorporating proven cover-cropping practices and plant family rotations.
