The Story Behind Connected Cannabis Co.
Founder Caleb Counts opened Fruitridge Health and Wellness in Sacramento in February 2009, only the seventh dispensary in the city. By 2010 he had built an R&D facility across the street, dedicating half the space purely to experimentation and pheno hunting. His philosophy was simple: not the biggest dispensary, just the best in terms of product quality. That obsession with quality over scale turned Connected into the brand other growers benchmark against. The Connected brand as a standalone label launched in 2018.
Origin: Sacramento, California. Founded 2009.
What Sets Connected Cannabis Co. Apart
Connected runs one of the most sophisticated breeding and R&D programs in legal cannabis. Strains like Biscotti, Gelonade, and Permanent Marker came out of their pheno-hunting operation, and those genetics have become industry staples. Their partnership with Alien Labs means two elite genetics teams share facilities while maintaining distinct creative identities — Caleb Counts drives Connected, while Ted Lidie runs Alien Labs. The result is a genetics portfolio no other single company in California can match.
