Progress Report: 11.3.23
Grasshopper Family,
This week comes with some incredible milestones.
We are DONE cutting in Colorado and Michigan! And, this was an incredible harvest at both farms! Michigan just CRUSHED it. We won't have our numbers for a few more weeks, as the product finishes drying and going through the post cut process inside. But, we are EXCITED!
We also had our first snow at both farms on the exact same day! Funny how the universe works.
Our latest approval in New Jersey sparked a number of articles this week. Some about the approval and some about what we are doing. Check out the Cannabis Business Times article!

We are so grateful for the support! We also have some haters online! Yup, I am celebrating that. It happens when your story gets out there. It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what you are doing. We don't take offense. We know who we are. We know what we are doing. And that's enough. We simply hope the haters find their peace someday. Maybe with some of our product! ;)
Jack and Maddy enjoyed their first Halloween with young Charlie. Cute cute and more cute.
Today is our end of harvest party in Michigan. The team wrapped up at noon and has been enjoying awesome food, celebrating the long days and nights. In fact, their first day off will be on Sunday.
VERY well deserved.
As I reflect this week, I find myself contemplating purpose and joy. I wish that each of you discovers and lives in your purpose and thus...joy. It seems to be that these are often found when we stop looking for them. Just be a good human, to yourself and others, and nurture strong personal routines and habits. And then, stick to them.
You are all incredible.
And I appreciate you.
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend! Remember the time change on Sunday morning!
