Our sister farm in Colorado operates all greenhouses, so they’re harvesting every two months, year-round.The hemp we’re growing in Oregon is 8 to 12 percent CBD.We’re trying to get those genetics registered with Health Canada, so we can develop a genetics program and a seed bank to start distributing these newvarieties to all the farmers who want to grow high yielding cannabinoid hemp in Canada.We’re at the very lead- ing edge of it, right now.” BVM: What kind of ongoing partnerships do you have? Larsen: “We’re working with companies such as Phylos Bioscience with a goal to develop genetics geared toward end use. Specific varieties for build- ing materials, textiles, cannabinoids…the agri-sci- ence aspect of it is incredible.We’re in a 50-50 partnership with Marijuana Company of America, a publicly traded U.S. company that I helped found. Their subsidiary is Hemp Smart. Vendor/client relationships only go so far, so we decided to get into the actual production of hemp to get the high quality we want. Fab Distro manufactures all our products for Hemp Smart in Southern California. Fab also does the distribution and fulfillment. And scientists have become involved from other companies: for example, Neutrogena is helping us develop our skin care line.We’re trying to recruit people who are already doing what we need in other industries. “This is our year to really start to generate revenue and create some very significant share- holder value. The last four years has just been the runway to getting there.The impact we believe we can have on the economy, job creation, rural de- velopment, the environment, and health issues is really what excites us all. It’s changing lives.”
