Grasshopper Family,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here we are. Friday. And, while this was a little shorter of a week for many, it usually ends up being just as busy, if not even busier with a holiday focused on friends, family, and gratitude.

The team in Colorado got their next shipment of bags and they look great! They are working hard on getting their 2024 harvest bagged up and sold!

The Colorado team also attended the annual Pueblo courthouse lighting. Community is one of our values that we take very seriously and is very important in an industry that is working hard to fight its way out of a stigma.

They also had a visitor on a snowy day! Check out the pictures!

Like Colorado, Michigan is working through their bagging process as well while crushing sales. I think they might also be getting excited about the Lions!

Positive product feedback is continuing to gain momentum. The plan was always to focus on quality and consistency and keep showing up while being patient. Building a brand is hard work. But, it is worthwhile work. Some of you have commented on the quality. And you can see more feedback in one of the pictures.

The Michigan market has been brutal. But, we have established ourselves as one of the operators who is here to stay. A strong team. Fantastic product. Continual growth and development.

And gratitude.

While gratitude is part of our daily practice, this is a time of year when many give thanks and gratitude. For family. For friends. For opportunities. For each day we wake and rise to explore the day.

Our Friday message was about pausing to reflect on what we are doing with our time and to make the most of the blessing of life.

What we do with each day of our life is so incredibly important.

Life truly is short. While we will all go through challenges, sadness, anger, fear, and the like...the goal is to not sit and stay there. Feel your feels. And then...move forward with the lesson. Not the scar of rumination.

I am truly grateful for each employee of Grasshopper Farms and their families. I am grateful for everyone who invested in Grasshopper Farms. I am grateful for all of the support of what we are doing at Grasshopper Farms. I am grateful that YOU are reading this update.

No matter where this email finds you and whatever you are doing - I am sending you love and gratitude.

Have an amazing Thanksgiving Day week and weekend.
