Progress Report: 4.26.24
Grasshopper Family,
The post 4/20 week!
Adam, Bret, and Andrew (and Andrew's wife, Chelsea!) crushed it on multiple levels. First, we don't need to do anything. And most suppliers don't. These guys trekked around the state to different retail locations and partnered with each one to SERVE consumers. Bringing our story. Bringing our energy. And, of course, bringing our product.
It wasn't easy. But, we don't do easy. We do what's right.
Colorado is filling pots! Many of you remember the pot filling days in Michigan. Well, here we go in Colorado! The team is preparing for two different scenarios and doing a GREAT job. We like to work in a way that gives us options and decisions, instead of scenarios in which we are blocked and locked into one path.
Michigan cut half of the OUTDOOR CLONES this week! We are talking about over 4,000 clones of (what Arun has coined) our 2024 vintage. Fitting. Quite fitting. It's hard to explain the energy of the team when they execute the outdoor clone cutting. It is unmistakable.
We were featured in the press and online again!
First was an article in Ohio. To us, that is exciting because Ohio is on our radar. Being featured in articles in an upcoming market is amazing.

Benzinga also posted a five minute interview we did, which is available on all platforms, like Instagram and Facebook. It was a freeform interview. No prep. No canned questions or answers.
Also, if you did not see yet...we have new merchandise and a LIMITED edition 2023 harvest strain t-shirt! You can see it on Instagram and Facebook and then also on the merchandise site. There is a new cool camo shirt too!
You may have seen that we turned three. We have a few dates. When we filed to be a business. When we started building. In this case, this is the day when we received our final licensure and approval to be plant touching. And, that happened on 4/20/21.
The universe supporting our mission.
We have been receiving a lot of feedback. Even more. The momentum has been building. I am sharing one that was a text from someone we met at Benzinga. He let us know how much he enjoyed the team and his meeting with Aaron. Check out the screenshot!
I am wrapping up the update with another milestone. One of our investors sent me a picture from the Newark airport. As she was navigating her way through the airport, she saw someone she does not know at a restaurant who was wearing one of our Grasshopper Farms t-shirts! We are seeing sightings out in the world! Wow!
The last thing for the email today is what we shared this morning internally.
Verbal jujitsu.
It’s a defense that is better than any physical form.
From the house of kindness.
I don’t always point to the video…but this one needs to be watched.
