Progress Report: 10.1.21

Happy October! Or, should I say....Happy Croptober! I have a little ask for you in this update.

Harvest is upon us.

We have worked hard. We have been patient. And now, harvest is upon us.

I started this week with our team. The lifeblood of our family. The soul of Grasshopper Farms. The pictures you see are our amazing team.

The days start with an amazing sunrise. They end with an incredible sunset. Every single day.

The team has been working hard. It's what we do. The plants are looking absolutely beautiful. We had the opportunity to give more tours this week. Some were suppliers. Some were retailers. Some were distributors. And some were Township Commissioners.

All had the same feedback.

Our farm has an incredible team. Our farm is set up more professionally than others (or any) they have seen. Our plants are healthier than any outdoor cannabis farm they have seen.

I will never tire of this feedback.

The Township Commissioners may have me assist them in developing a means to assess applicants and how to better engage the community. More amazing engagement.

The ask I have for you. We have had amazing organic growth on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Incredible, if you consider that we have done zero paid advertising. Now it is time to take the next step. And that step involves you! I would like you to go to each of the platforms you use (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter) and follow us. Please make sure you click like (or love!) on all of the posts - both, past and future posts. Comment, if you can and are willing. And please, please, please, share all of the posts with your community.

This step will help us bolster our consumer messaging, which is the next step in making sure we drive demand. This is where you can help us soar to the next level! Click any or all of the links above and it will take you directly to the GHF account on that platform. Check each day and come be a part of the online magic!

Building 2 is ALMOST DONE! Brad has done an incredible job at driving this to completion. Once again, he is getting this done in record time. Jason, Bret, and Landen have been installing some of the items we will need to operationalize this harvest facility. I am happy to report that, as of yesterday....we have lights!

Meanwhile, Clint, Nate, Drew, and Paul have been crushing the plant care - feeding, defoliating, spraying, and managing the ~40 member team. Check out the spraying pictures!

Aaron and Caroline have been continuing the harvest planning process, ensuring we have all feedback and a strong plan to get us started. We also hired Von who has been working with Caroline to ensure we are ready to track each plant as they start moving through the harvest process. Not an easy task! And Adam has been developing relationships with retailers...and crushing it!

Joni, Travis, Hilaria, and Hector have been instrumental in the indoor and outdoor plant care.

As for Matt and Sarah....you will have to wait until next Friday for that update!

You will also note some pictures of additional irrigation and drainage being installed. Impressive and just another unseen element that elevates our approach. And believe me...I have been to numerous farms that have so much mud that it is almost unnavigable by foot or car! Not here. No way.

The pictures of the plants this week are a little different. We could point our camera at any plant in any direction and it would look like the attached pictures. Healthy and amazing. BUT, we are starting to see some of those deep colors start to develop that happens as we approach harvest. Enjoy the pictures this week and expect to see more colors next week.

Let's not forget that we have an amazing indoor grow going on right now as well. Allow me to explain the importance of our indoor plants. We have the exact same plants in three locations: primarily above ground outside, some in-ground outside, and some inside. This will allow us to have a more complete and interesting conversation with retailers and consumers. It is the exact same plant from the exact same mother plant - and being able to compare the lab results, look, smell, and experience is something you just don't see very often.

I really do believe we are changing the narrative - premium outdoor flower, tours, more complete information in the differences of grow disciplines, and more!

I am so excited to share this email with all of you. We are most likely going to wrap up the final raise next week. So, please let me know ASAP if you have a desire to increase the amount you have invested or if you have not invested and want to be a part of the Grasshopper Farms Investment Group.

The team is amazing. The plants are amazing. The farm is amazing.

We are...Grasshopper Farms.
