Progress Report: 7.17.2026
Grasshopper Family,
As the smoke invades from the north and the storms from the south, the team has been doing an incredible job across all three farms.
New Jersey is excited because the plants that are in flower are the next generation of dialing in. What I mean is this is the first turn that has benefited from improved procedures from start to finish. And we are excited!
Ricky came to New Jersey to help the team get started. And now, his work is done. He loves the team. The team loves him. But, it is time for him to head back to Michigan. He showed up and crushed it, navigating all of the twists and turns along the way. Check out the sendoff pictures.
Ricky - we salute you and look forward to you rejoining the Michigan team.
Speaking of the Michigan team, they are reporting incredible growth and health of our plants! The class of 2026 is looking good! In addition to some of the farm shots, check out some of the praying mantis infant shots. Neat!
The smoke from the Canadian fires is hovering over the farm. No threat to our plants, but an event that we have only experienced once before and makes the sun look pretty incredible.
Why did the turtle cross the road? To go slow and get saved by a Grasshopper Farms team member!
We had two incredible tours this week. These two were with people who know our industry. And the consensus was that Grasshopper Farms is in the top one percent. This feedback is consistent with our consumer feedback. Just take a look at one of the comments we recently received online!
The Colorado team is back in full force with the fires under control and power back on. Thank goodness. Everyone is safe and the plants are looking great. The pictures show how the field is turning more and more green each week! The team also has praying mantis support as well!
The Colorado team is also part of an epic event, Camp Carnival! They are the proud hosts of the horseshoes and cornhole games at their booth area. Check out the pictures!
This has been a year in which the energy is shifting. We have been tested since starting our company in 2020. Incredible tests that have caused countless operators to go out of business. We have passed those tests. But, we still have work to do. We have incredible investors who have been cheering us on since the beginning. And we are working to honor them back.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
