Canada's First Micro-Cultivator Crop Ready For Retail
S
helter Craft Collective, a division of 1193269 BC Ltd., doing business as Shelter Cannabis (Shelter) is proud to announce that North 40 Cannabis (North 40) was made available to retailers in Saskatchewan today.
North 40 is Canada's first licensed micro-cultivator and processor. Based in Saskatchewan, the small family run grow with over thirty years of cultivation experience will be bringing their first harvest to market under Shelter's house brand, Farmstead.
We are extremely pleased to be able to team up with Shelter to get our products out to consumers, said Gord Nichol of North 40. It's been a long time coming and we couldn't be happier that our home province, Saskatchewan, will be first in line to have access to our hand crafted, small batch cannabis.
Nichol went on to say he believes this is the start of a turning point in the cannabis industry where quality will challenge the big companies for consumers hearts and minds. We trust our products will meet, and hopefully exceed expectations.
Processed in Shelter's Agro-Greens facility, this small-batch, hand-trimmed and non-irradiated craft cannabis is the first wave of what many expect to be a coming craft revolution in Canada's cannabis industry. A lot of us lobbied for the inclusion of this class of license and worked hard behind the scenes to make this happen, said Jamie Shaw, Director of Communications and Culture for Shelter. We are proud to be bringing cannabis grown and processed in Saskatchewan to Saskatchewan consumers, and we hope other provinces look to what Saskatchewan is getting right.
Kiaro is one of the Saskatchewan retailers that have anxiously been awaiting craft product. We are excited to have the opportunity to be working with the amazing teams at Shelter Brands and North 40 to feature their locally grown, small batch, hand crafted cannabis in our Saskatchewan retail stores, said Andrew Gordon, Sr Vice-President of Retail Operations and Community at Kiaro. This is an important step forward in realizing the dreams and aspirations of legalization for producers, retailers and consumers alike; and we are committed to ensuring that small scale, craft producers have an opportunity to thrive in the regulated market.
Farmstead branded Blue Cheese and Green Cush have both been made available to retailers in dried flower (1g and 3.5g formats), Single Prerolls (0.7g and 1g) and Preroll packs (3x0.3g, and 4x0.5g).
