I'm super excited to be all set up at the new farm in Ocala, Florida. We are licensed to grow just seed here, but we'll certainly have our hands full. I've been at it since February, upgrading the greenhouse and setting up the pampered outdoor area. It's really a huge step in the right direction for me as I finally take Greenpoint out of the black market. The 2018 Farm Bill classifies seed as hemp, so here I am, with a license and a farm in Florida, back home from Colorado 10 years later with a licensed weed business. Just like I planned when I packed up my bedroom grow in 2013 and headed out west. October marks 10 years in business, and the next 10 are looking mighty promising.
As for personnel, I've hired and fired a lot of people. It's taken roughly 5 or 6 people cycling through a position to find the right person. Each person has helped the business grow and certainly has helped me grow. A lot of those people go off and start their own thing. I find a lot of satisfaction knowing that they gained enough knowledge and insight working with me that they are confident enough to try it themselves.
So what's next? I actually listened to the Phylos Bioscience CEO interview. Whatever you think about them, they just raised millions of dollars from people who are going to want their money back. And do you know what his plan was? Actually breeding lines and improving strains. Driscoll's is a berry producer in your local grocery store. They've been around for decades, but did you know what they are doing? Only in the last few years have they actually tried to breed better berries. Now they've released a new premium berry line called "Sweetest Batch," and customers love it.
I don't claim to be the most original person, but damn, I'm observant, and I take action. I understand you want better weed. Whatever that means, however many different variations of better there are, I'm going to find them. Liam Neeson style.
