Highwire Farms is a lifestyle cannabis company dedicated to providing our patients with the best medicine and cannabis available and to developing premium products designed to deliver a life of good times, anytime, anywhere!
In 2015 two friends, Tony and Eric started a company called Urban Farms in a back storage room in Eric’s warehouse – they built racks, bought grow lights, ran water lines and purchased their first batch of seeds – all without really knowing much about the business of indoor farming. But, they were eager to learn and determined to provide fresh heads of lettuce, basil, herbs and micro-greens to the community.
They loved the idea of local fresh produce being available all year long and hustled their fresh greens to local restaurants and nearby Farmer’s Markets.
The boys didn’t make a lot of money and they killed lots of plants testing multiple cutting-edge growing techniques. But, over time they learned from their mistakes and gained an appreciation for indoor cultivation and fresh farm-to-table produce.
At first, growing marijuana wasn’t on the radar, but then they were introduced to the health benefits of medical marijuana, and the idea of cultivating medicine that helped people seemed like a natural fit. So they bought an old farm in Michigan, became legal caregivers, dug a well, installed 15 tons of air conditioning, hung grow lights in the old barn and started utilizing their new growing skills.
At the heart of the cannabis industry are the businesses that actually grow, process and distribute cannabis. Highwire Farms wants to be a vertical integrated small-craft cannabis company that controls the process from seed-to-sale by operating in all three of theses areas. Right now – we have only the provisioning center open.
