A large-scale Delta greenhouse operation that’s making the switch to cannabis now has a connection with a well establish company that will begin producing a wide range of cannabis edible snacks.
Organic Flower Investments Group Inc. has announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire an 80 per cent interest in Edibles and Infusions Corp., a manufacturer and distributor of chocolate and sugar confectionary products.
Edibles and Infusions will design and develop a 50,000 square foot manufacturing and product formulation facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
“The facility will be operated by a roster of experienced chocolatiers and confectioners, as well as equipped with industry leading manufacturing equipment capable of producing an assortment of both cannabinoid/terpene-infused products for medicinal, functional and adult-use…” the company explains.
The new venture will produce such cannabis infused snacks as caramel popcorn, cheese biscuits, cocoa cookies, glazed pecans and salty pretzels, as well as chocolates/toffees/caramels, gummies/confectionary/gum, and also baked goods, powdered drinks and CBD-infused pet products.”
Organic Flower Investments Group Inc. also has a subsidiary, Delta Organic Cannabis, which has a stake in Agraflora Organics International Inc.
Agraflora last year announced its partnership with Houweling Nurseries in East Ladner that will see the conversion of the 2.2-million-square-foot Ladner greenhouse for cannabis production. The 20-hectare (49-acre) facility on 64th Street will be the second largest cannabis greenhouse facility in Canada among those that are currently physically built.
Agraflora explained it will be retrofitting the Houweling greenhouse in three stages, aiming to make the facility fully operational by 2021.
Last year it also announced a partnership with Houweling Nurseries owner Casey Houweling to form a venture called Propagation Services Canada Inc. to provide “flower ready” starter plants to cannabis cultivators in Canada and internationally.
AgraFlora will focus on medical cannabis. It is also working with potential pharma partners and offtakes of cannabis.
Organic Flower Investments Group Inc. also recently announced it entered into a letter of intent to acquire 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding common voting shares of Canutra Naturals Ltd.
Canutra is a Canadian cannabidiol cosmetics/topicals manufacturing company. It cultivates, extracts, manufactures and markets skincare, cosmetics and cannabinoid product lines from its flagship facility in Kent County, New Brunswick.
