EP224: The Green Gold Rush: How Puro is Scaling NZ’s Cannabis Industry (Tim Aldridge)
Episode 224
Tuesday, 31 March, 2026
For episode 224, we met up with Tim Aldridge in Marlborough to tour PURO, the biggest cannabis farm in New Zealand. With over 60,000 plants, it’s something you have to see (and smell) to believe! In this mini episode of the podcast we hear the story of how Tim, Sank and Tom founded PURO, how it broke the NZ crowdfunding record on PledgeMe, how difficult it’s been to get started, and how fast the operation has been scaling. Tim predicts that Marlborough could be one of the best places in the world to grow medicinal cannabis, and explains how despite their massive success in markets such as Australia, Germany and the UK, how kiwis are unable to buy the product for themselves. This is a really unique business story that you won't find anywhere else! Check out PURO here: www.puro.nz ___________________ We’d like to thank our sponsor for this episode, Rosefern Homes.
