Mad Mark Mas Farms: Madness Makes Magnificence

You will not find another operation like Mad Mark Mas Farms in Enumclaw, WA. He’s “been doin’ it,” as he likes to call it since before i-502 was even a dream.

Situated with the spectacular Mount Rainer overlooking the farm, this i-502 production has its roots in a long history of love and admiration for the plant. Now, with ten strains as his main ladies, Mark Seegmueller is putting out some of the finest bud for legal purchase in Washington State.

If you have ever picked up a Mad Mark gram, eighth or the newest addition to the gang, the ounce; you know from just with one look, this is grown with pure love. Though still a small operation, there was a time when the madness was even greater, with Mark doing everything from growing to bagging, to selling and distributing. There isn’t a job he hasn’t done or still doesn’t do, especially to get the pace going for the team.

One of his favorite strains to smoke and grow is Amnesia; a flavorful sativa that has a tendency to make one forget. As well as the Pineapple Express, which Seegmueller describes as “just great,” having grown it for longer than most other strains in his garden’s repertoire.

When visiting Mad Mark Mas Farms you realize it is a family-type run operation.

“Everyone has a part in the making of Mad Mark.” Mark Seegmueller

Many of the individuals helping cultivate these plants are friends of Seegmueller, and have been enjoying his strains longer than it may be legal to admit. But Seegmueller is open about his past, describing the time when police came to raid his place prior to the legalization of recreational pot, as probably the most memorable experiences with cannabis.
