Olivia Newton-John’s Daughter And Her Fiancé Just Opened A Cannabis Farm In Oregon

Grammy Award-winning Olivia Newton-John’s 35-year-old daughter, Chloe Lattanzi, runs a legal marijuana farm in Oregon, said to be a family business partially inspired by her mother.

In 2016, Lattanzi settled into Canby, Oregon, and launched a business named Laughing Dog Farms, a plant probiotics, biostimulants, and legal marijuana farm. The company is run by herself and partner James Driskill and has since expanded with a second farm in California.

Newton-John and her husband, John Easterling (Lattanzi’s stepfather), are incredibly supportive of the new business, especially since Easterling is also in the cannabis industry. Battling breast cancer on and off since 1992, Newton-John said that her family’s cannabis-oriented work in the evolving industry has helped improve her quality of life.

“I’m very lucky to be married to a wonderful man who is a plant medicine man,” Newton-John told People earlier this year. “Now he’s growing medicinal cannabis for me, and it just has been wonderful. It helps me in every area.”

After experiencing the positive effects of cannabis, Newton-John launched a foundation to fund research on herbal medicine for cancer patients called the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund.

In an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly, Lattanzi said that she strives to use her platform for good. “I want to use my minor celebrity to remind people they are amazing inside. I was suffering from anxiety, addiction, and an eating disorder, and I only healed when I realized all that stuff inside me is what’s amazing. Not the outside.”

With the established Laughing Dog Farms and cancer research foundation, Lattanzi and Newton-John are proving themselves as allies in the cannabis industry.
