Progress Report: 4.28.23

Grasshopper Family,

It's the last week of April!!

(I actually have to reread and rewrite that. How is it possible that we are closing out April?!)

April brings a lot of things. One is the clones for our OUTSIDE plants! Yup! This is our third time going through this process. Aaron said it out loud during a team meeting and we all had to pause. It's true. It feels so surreal. Yet, it is very real and the team is absolutely crushing the process. Take a look at the picture of the racks of the OUTDOOR plants!!

These pictures show a team that is dialed in. Like I said...crushing it.

You will see another shot of one of our roads. What you might not know is how bad that area was. But, the team is always on top of these things. Look at the storage trailer. This level of organization happens because our team understands that we need to take care of ourselves and take care of our equipment if we are to maintain quality and consistency.

The little things aren't the little things. They all matter.

Even the golfing. That is incredibly important too. :)

Madison and I headed over to the New Jersey Farm today. It was an incredible trip to take some of our investors on a tour of the farm, see the progress, and see all of the items we ordered from overseas that were delivered this week, including today!

Times are turning with Grasshopper Farms in a very favorable way. We have proved that we can sustain an incredible market event (where most never returned) and pivoted to maintain our business - operationally and financially sound. What does that mean? Well, for one, people in other states are calling and asking to join Grasshopper Farms in their state. Two, BDSA came knocking. I thought they were going to try and sell me something. It turns out they were calling because our brand hit their dashboard as one of the top brands in Michigan.

Yup. That happened.

So, now it is time to go deep on our plan and maintain discipline while keeping our identity and core competency as our lighthouse, guiding us.

People. Quality. Consistency. Discipline.

I am so proud of our progress in Michigan. I am honored to develop New Jersey.

And I am extremely grateful for each of you.

Have a fantastic close to April.
