Our Story
Our journey officially began in 2014 with the purchase of 4.5 acres of rural commercial property in Claresholm, Alberta. The mission was straightforward: empower patients on their journey toward wellness. The reason was simple: when you’re able to offer a helping hand, it becomes your responsibility to do so. Medicinal patients deserve a Canadian cannabis producer that puts them first, which is why we dedicate 100% of our efforts to medicinal patients.
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
About the Facility
Our 65,000 ft2, purpose-built facility is designed to harness the power of Southern Alberta’s generous 330 days of sunlight per year. The facility supports our state-of-the-art growing process by leveraging the best of nature. Combined with the climate benefits offered by higher elevation, our product is protected from mold, mildew, and pests, resulting in better quality and higher consistency.
