The company owns and operates a 158-acre greenhouse, outdoor and processing facility in Strathroy, On, as well as a 26,000 sq. ft. processing facility in Aylmer, On specializing in cannabis extraction.

The company also maintains supply agreements with Shoppers Drug Mart and seven provincial distribution agencies where its adult-use brands Color Cannabis and Saturday are sold.
