Nestled in the rugged beauty of Mt. Hood’s flanks, this small-batch, single-operator farm has earned a reputation for producing some of the most sought-after cannabis in the state. Their signature strains—particularly Toad Venom—have become synonymous with the pinnacle of what Oregon has to offer in terms of craft cannabis.

Evans Creek Farms isn’t just a name—it’s a testament to hard work, vision, and dedication. When Daniel and his wife first acquired the 10-acre parcel of land in 2012, it was nothing more than untamed brush and trees. Through years of hard work, community help, and strategic planning, they transformed the property into one of Oregon’s most respected cannabis farms.

The farm’s name reflects its close connection to the local environment—the creek running through the property symbolizes the natural harmony the farm strives to cultivate. Evans Creek’s commitment to quality is evident in every corner of their operation, from their 2,880-square-foot grow facility to their efficient cultivation processes.

The team at Evans Creek prides itself on its efficient, hands-on approach to cultivation. With only 48 lights and a team that combines over 10 years of experience, the farm produces premium flower in small batches. Every aspect of the grow process, from soil preparation to curing, is carefully tailored to produce exceptional results.

Daniel’s philosophy is simple but effective: “We want to hold its hand, not try to force it or baby it.” This approach allows the plants to thrive in an environment that’s both natural and meticulously controlled. The farm uses a combination of HPS, metal halide, and LED lights in their veg and flower rooms, and they have been part of the Clean Green program, ensuring their products meet the highest standards of organic farming.

The soil, mixed with earthworm casting and compost, provides the essential nutrients while minimizing waste, and their focus on microbial life helps produce some of the cleanest, most flavorful cannabis in the region. It’s this attention to detail that has helped them cultivate iconic strains like Nepalese Kush, Carbon Fiber and Mac1, and experimental strains like Blue Belle.

If there’s one strain that defines Evans Creek’s ascent to legendary status, it’s Toad Venom. A cross between Animal Face and Sin Mintz from Ronin Seeds, this strain has taken Oregon—and the entire cannabis community—by storm. Toad Venom isn’t just a product; it’s an experience. With only a handful of growers in the world producing this elusive strain, Evans Creek’s version has become one of the most sought-after in the country.

One of the reasons Toad Venom has gained such widespread acclaim is its unique combination of effects. It hits hard, even for seasoned smokers, and leaves an impression that lasts long after the smoke clears. The aroma, initially doughy and minty, gives way to a sweet, candy-like fragrance reminiscent of peach rings—a scent so captivating, you’ll find yourself doubting the strain’s genetic origins. But the real magic happens when you take a hit. The full-bodied, gassy smoke coats your mouth, delivering a high that’s as powerful as it is memorable.

What truly sets Evans Creek’s Toad Venom apart is the way it has captured the essence of this rare strain while elevating it with their signature growing techniques. The most recent batch, which utilizes a mix of HPS and MH light sources, brings out vibrant green and purple hues that resemble the mottled texture of toad skin. For those lucky enough to snag some of this rare flower, the experience is something that transcends the typical cannabis session.

Evans Creek is known for their limited production, never exceeding a 15-pound batch. This exclusivity means that Toad Venom is a rare gem that’s highly coveted by cannabis connoisseurs, retailers, and enthusiasts alike. The second official release of this strain has garnered praise not only for its potency but also for its distinct flavor profile—a perfect balance of gassy lime and sweet, doughy undertones.

At TJ’s Dispensaries, we are proud to carry Evans Creek on our Premium Shelf, making their exceptional products available to our customers. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the world of craft cannabis, experiencing Evans Creek’s offerings is an opportunity to enjoy some of the best flower Oregon has to offer.
