Progress Report: 9.3.2021

Grasshopper Family,

Happy September!

And with the onset of September I can now say we will harvest next month! Exciting! Harvest activities will start in the middle of October and take about six weeks. There will be plenty of time for you to come tour the farm and even be a part of the harvest, if you choose. We will also announce two days when we will have events in which we can meet each other and chat about this incredible journey. Stay tuned for details!

In other farm news, we got a new piece of equipment, and it is awesome. We had to start spraying the plants with preventative solutions to manage the possibility of some things, like powdery mildew. You will see from the pictures that it sprays very effectively across the plants as the tractor moves down the aisle. The sprayer is the right piece of equipment for the job!

I mentioned in a previous update that we decided to do a limited number of plants in ground and indoors as well. I am excited to report that both are doing great! The indoor plants have transitioned to their grow tables and have switched from the vegetative phase to the flower phase, coinciding with flowering of the outdoor plants.

Speaking of flower...

Oh. My. Goodness. So much flower. So much sweet beautiful flower. And you will see from the pictures that it just keeps getting better and better. Bigger and bigger. And so so healthy.

And how about the size of the plant that Caroline is standing next to?!

I have included a quick video of one of the plants. So amazing. So healthy.

I have been talking to a number of people who are investing in this final round we have open. This last raise is going to help us be even more prepared for a massive harvest. It is necessary. I was reminded that there were people who invested in this before we started pushing dirt with a tractor. Before the building even existed. Before the plants had arrived. Before all of the other incredible milestones that we have crushed. And now we are looking at the end of the growing season with a harvest before sales. If you even have a small remote feeling that you may want to invest and be a part of the limited group - now is the time. We are no longer an idea. We are no longer a plan. We are no longer at the start.

We have a massive farm. We have incredibly healthy plants. We have the most amazing team.

We are Grasshopper Farms.

Once this raise is over, so is the opportunity to invest in and be a part of the Grasshopper Farms Investment Group. Subsequent opportunities will be open exclusively for the year 1 investors as we continue down this incredible path. The current investment opportunity remains the same, paying 100% interest on June 30, 2022.

Lastly, I included a picture of the most amazing person I have ever had the opportunity to meet - Medal of Honor recipient Woody Williams. I am still trying to process that I spent two days with this legend of a man who fought at Iwo Jima and was awarded the Medal of Honor for his contributions in that battle. Spending time with him reset my life in a magical way. A reminder, if you will, of what is important and what is not. What is fear and what is courage. He is 97 years old and operating as effectively as people who think they are in their prime.

I am happy to share more with anyone who is interested.

I do hope this update reaches you all on the cusp of enjoying a safe holiday weekend.
