 Fueled by her passion for innovation and dedication to health, Jill Ellsworth has made a career of creating solutions for better living. Prior to launching Willow Industries, Jill founded Vibrant Earth Juices (VEJ), a Santa Barbara-based cold-pressed organic juice company. Jill became passionate about pasteurization techniques, employing High Pressure Processing (HPP) to prevent microbial growth and increase the shelf-life and freshness for her juice line. After seeing the lack of health and safety standards, Jill transitioned into the legal cannabis industry to share her knowledge of food safety with the emerging market. In 2015, Jill founded Willow Industries, the first cannabis decontamination company in the country. Her patented, organic, ozone-based technology, WillowPure, breaks down harmful microbes living on cannabis, without affecting the medicinal properties of the plant, providing cultivators with a solution to ensure patients and consumers have access to consistently clean products. WillowPure systems are being leveraged by cannabis producers and brands in 26 states, Canada and Australia, through long-term leases, a mobile service in Colorado, and WillowPure Processing centers in CA and MA. She serves on the Cannabis Health and Safety Advisory Committee for the City of Denver, is a member of the Technical Advisory Committee for the Cannabis Certification Council, and an author for a soon to be released ASTM International standard.

 Carrie Mapes is the co-founder of Hello Again, a line of cannabis-based vaginal suppositories that she and her friend, Patty Pappas, conceptualized, created and own.

Ms. Holman is originally from Maine, (with a strong sea-faring connection, and salt-water in her veins) -- is the owner and (CEO+CMO) of The Galley, a Cannabis Co-Manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, CA. With 25 successful years as a prior owner of a Graphic Design/PR firm, Annie knows how to cultivate thriving business alliances. 

Her interest in the Cannabis industry began when her good friend bet on exactly the right horse in the 2015 Kentucky Derby. This resulted in a boatload of cash. Her friend handed over her winnings and said, “lets start a medical cannabis bakery”. So they did. California-based Derby Bakery Cannabis Edibles was born.

Derby Bakery produced high-end products, claimed awards, and won numerous “Emerald Cup – Best Edibles” honors. They also swept up first and second place prizes from “Edibles List – Best of Awards.”

Annie’s latest endeavor is The Galley. Its nautical name invokes images of tall ships, mermaids and sea-lore, which both captivates and resonates with her. Annie connects deeply with all things related to water. She likes diving in headfirst, swimming to the other side, drying herself off and starting all over again.

On Shore: The Galley’s impressive 8,300 ft. facility is a one-stop-manufacturing-shop. With a large-scale commercial kitchen, production runs of cannabis edibles, candy, chocolate, topicals and tinctures, small beverages and beauty products roll off the line daily.

The Galley holds a Type N & 6 Manufacturing and Type 11 distribution license, (to assist their customers to fulfill their products to retail). In addition, they are registered as a Type S Shared Space.

Living in Sonoma County CA, for 38 years, Annie Holman fully embraces life and has fun with it. She is a free spirit in the most wonderful of ways. With her natural charm and charisma Annie is a born leader, which serves her well as she launches the Galley on the next leg of what is sure to be a very exciting and fulfilling voyage.
