Progress Report: 12.20.24
Grasshopper Family,
Happy Friday!!
Both teams are rolling! No, really. Michigan and Colorado are in full pre roll production swing!
The Colorado team had some mice tinkering with our outdoor mechanicals, which then required a little maintenance. And those performing the maintenance needed some heat!
Check out the first pre rolls made by the Colorado team. You might remember that we did cone pre rolls in the first year in Michigan as well! They will move into a straight roll when the numbers permit.
Chris is proudly displaying the first actual Grasshopper Farms METRC tags! We were operating under the previous business license until the state and county were done with the transfer process. And, we are there!
Donnie and Frank Jr. got some amazing shots of the sunrise and the mountains. Majestic!
New Jersey has been cranking on the final bids for the remaining work that will lead us to be plant touching in 1Q. We also received some favorable news from the township regarding some documentation and process. It feels like things are starting to turn there! Patient. Persistent. Kind.
That's what we do.
The Michigan team tried to get the drone up to get some shots of the snow that is coming down today...but it was acting up. So, they did the next best thing...pictures of the attempt. :)
Ladybug sighting keeping our mother plants pest free! And the mother plants are indeed healthy.
We had someone reach out to us on social media asking where they could find Hellcat. We helped them locate a store, we then called the store, and they agreed to set it aside for this customer...because our strains sell out quickly! It was a great example of partnership, demand, and loyalty.
Our business model is working. We are building a brand.
Patience. Persistence. Kindness.
Raguini and I took her Aunt to dinner last night and we had the pleasure of seeing two of our initial investors having dinner with their family! It was AMAZING! Life is truly incredible.
We were also just featured in a Cannabis Business Times article. Grateful!
Our Friday message contemplated an aspect of focus.
Winning is being better today than you were yesterday.

Sometimes we get caught up in judging ourselves against what others are doing or what we want to be doing. And, it is fine to work hard and strive. But, we might be best served if we make and celebrate the incremental steps.
Being better than we were yesterday.
I actually received three separate messages related to this after I shared it. Apparently, there are some folks who needed a reminder to be kinder to themselves and employ a little more grace.
It's a good reminder!
I know a lot of people are starting some holiday travel today and this weekend. No matter when you do, bring something we have been doing with you. Patience. Persistence. Kindness.
Travel safe and happy holidays!!
