Progress Report: 3.1.24
Grasshopper Family,
Happy March 1st!!
We just crossed over into the glorious month of March! Yup, that just happened. One might even say that we LEAPED into March. ;)
The farms are doing AWESOME.
Chris got out and did some much deserved hiking with the family over the weekend.
But wait, Colorado got their first sale! The samples went out and one store ordered 50 lbs! That is an awesome first order. The team is SO happy, and they have every reason to celebrate! A huge milestone!
They also captured some pictures of a nearby fire while they were positioning new pots of soil. No cause for alarm. All good.
Our Michigan team is cranking on sales and infused pre rolls. We now have 19 retailers carrying our infused pre rolls. People are paying attention.
In fact, we had the largest publication reach out to us and ask about our unique infused pre rolls. We did not pitch the idea to them. They came to us. We had about 45 minutes to answer questions and supply pictures to meet their deadline. We did and the article came out today and we were in the number one position!

Awesome. People are starting to follow our story. They are supportive of our team. And they love our products. Premium quality and consistency. And check out some of the awesome infused pre roll pictures our amazing marketing team created!
To that end...cannabis convention update!
As people discover our story, we are being asked to get more involved. We will be participating at the MJ Unpacked convention in New Jersey April 9-11 and I have been asked to speak on the 9th. This is another great opportunity to grow within the industry and strengthen our brand within the marketplace. We are honored.
We also have interest from two more trade shows!
We have a newly published author in our Grasshopper Farms family! Micah is one of our investors and recently published a book we could all use - Atomic Cocktails. Check it out if you have a chance, share the word, and leave awesome reviews!
Yesterday we reflected on the following message as a team:
As we embrace the rare gift of February 29th in this leap year, let's seize this extra day not just as a calendar anomaly but as a unique opportunity. It marks not only the end of the month but a moment for reflection and forward-thinking. Today, let's celebrate our achievements, ponder the lessons learned, and set our sights on the ambitions we aspire to reach next month. With a spirit of collaboration and mutual support, we have the power to turn aspirations into reality. Here's to recognizing our collective strength, embracing change, and working together towards our shared success. Onward and upward, together!
This Leap Year is treating us well. We are so grateful for the progress we are making and look forward to where this journey is going.
Have an amazing start to the month of March and a wonderful weekend!
