The Pot Farm is a cannabis plantation in Humboldt County, California owned by Merrill. It is an explorable location in Episode 3 of Life is Strange 2.
Overview[]
The pot farm consists of two freestanding greenhouses, a white metal shed with a blue roof and orange door, and Merrill’s house. The owner, Merrill, employs a guard called Big Joe and several employees to trim cannabis buds - mainly people without legal documents (so-called trimmigrants). Big Joe drives the trimmers from their camp to the farm using a truck. He is also seen wearing an assault gun around the farm.
The upper support beams of the greenhouses are equipped with multiple circulation fans and fluorescent light bulbs. The electrical equipment is powered by several power strips connected by grey wires running across the beams. Several green hoses are strewn across the ground, some of which also hang from the support beams. The greenhouses are also equipped with CCTV cameras.
The crops themselves appear protected by pesticides and consume large amounts of water.

Episode Three - "Wastelands"[]
Big Joe brings Sean Diaz, Daniel Diaz, and drifters Finn, Cassidy, Hannah, Jacob, Penny, Ingrid, and Anders to the farm where they are given various assignments by Merrill, with Daniel suggesting trading jobs with Finn but is stopped by Merrill. After their shift ends, they are returned to camp. The next day, Sean and the drifters return to the farm for another shift. Later that night, Sean comes to the farm either with Finn and Daniel to rob Merrill's safe or with Cassidy to stop Daniel and Finn's plan. It is unknown what happens to the farm following the destruction of Merrill's house, but it is implied that the farm was shut down.
