Cultivators
Budding Gardens Inc.
Budding Gardens was started by Jim Vanden Berg in early 2019. He’s currently growing out his first crop of Bruce Banner inside his 12,000 ft greenhouse located just outside Calgary, Alberta.
Willow Weed
Approved for a micro cultivation license in May 2020, Saffer-Spiro’s Willow Weed is a passion project of he and his father. The father and son team have spent the last year constructing a space to house their 200m2 of outdoor production space and indoor drying and storage room, building around old barns and rock walls and integrating the new space into the old farm.
Shelter Cannabis
Shelter Cannabis is a Saskatchewan-based cannabis processor who is emerging as one of the premier access points for the first micro cultivators who are bringing products to the consumer and medical market.
Sweet Valley Cannabis
Sweet Valley Cannabis has been growing cannabis in British Columbia for almost two decades. Now they want to help other growers find a way to become legal and succeed in this new industry.
Cypress Craft
Cypress Craft is a family run micro cannabis cultivation facility in North Cypress, Manitoba, located on the Oliver family’s 4th generation farm where they grow canola, wheat, and soy, and raise pigs.
Habitat Craft Cannabis Ltd.
Habitat’s small indoor facility, a retrofit of the same building that once housed their MMAR operations, is home to about 1,000ft2 of flowering space for their cannabis, which is fertilized by a certified organic aquaponic system raising Coho salmon in large tanks.
mindiCANNA Inc.
MindiCANNA is one of the first two micro cultivators recently approved in Quebec. The company, who also operates a consulting service for cannabis applicants decided to take the plunge themselves and apply the lessons they have learned advising others to their own application.

Delta 9 Bio-Tech Inc.
John Arbuthnot, CEO and co-founder, started Delta 9 Bio-Tech with his father in 2012 and has helped steer the company through many changes. Now he wants to help new licence holders, especially micro cultivators, have an opportunity to learn from his experience.
