Delta 9 Cannabis has completed its final services with Manitoba based Micro Cultivation partner, Alicanto Gardens.
On December 18, 2020, Alicanto confirmed it had reached its final milestone under the SCA and has been granted its cannabis micro cultivation licenses from Health Canada.
"As one of Delta 9’s Micro Cultivation partners, Alicanto entered into a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with the company whereby Delta 9 provides services relating to the cannabis production, development of standard operating procedures and sanitation programs, consulting on Health Canada licensing, marketing services to develop the Alicanto brand and other services supporting the acquisition of the Health Canada license," Delta 9 team explains.
“We are thrilled that Alicanto has received a Health Canada Licence for twelve of our proprietary and turn-key 'Grow Pod' systems and has already received approval from the RM of Morris, Manitoba to build out a second production facility that will include another twelve Grow Pods,” said John Arbuthnot, Founder and CEO of Delta 9. “Our turnkey platform for Grow Pods and services continues to prove one of the best options for cannabis industry entrepreneurs seeking licensing and support services.”
The Company's cannabis production methodology is based around a modular, scalable, and stackable production unit called a "Grow Pod", which are based on retrofitted 40-foot shipping containers. Alicanto’s production facility has been designed and built using this turnkey and state of the art Grow Pod system. Once cultivation begins, Delta 9 plans to purchase premium quality cannabis products from Alicanto for distribution through the Company's established distribution network, and through Delta 9's branded retail stores. Delta 9 has now successfully licensed over 100 Grow Pods in third party facilities across Canada.
“Alicanto is a family owned and self funded boutique cannabis grower based in Manitoba with plans to service the recreational market in Western Canada,” said owner Waldemar Heidebrecht of Alicanto. “We have been able to leverage an existing 4,000 square foot warehouse facility from a previous business venture and convert it to a state-of-the-art production facility that incorporates all the latest technology for growing cannabis.”
Alicanto has developed a state-of-the-art micro cultivation facility on an 80-acre parcel of land, about ten minutes from Morris and an hour south of Winnipeg. This new facility houses a micro cultivation license, including twelve new grow pod systems, and a proprietary craft growing approach developed by Delta 9. Alicanto’s initial plan is to focus on growing a single strain of high THC before it expands its product offering.
The well-rounded Alicanto team has a strong entrepreneurial background, with extensive experience in building a $50 million distribution business from the ground up over the last decade. The Alicanto team is committed and passionate about growing premium craft cannabis and looks forward to building a leading craft cannabis company in Manitoba.
