Discussion w/ Rob Crigler & John Kulin of High Grass Farms
Thursday, 26 September, 2024
John Krulin and Rob Crigler know how to utilize industrial space for cannabis cultivation and manufacturing. As the founders of High Grass Farms in Buena, NJ, the pair leaned on their experience in finance and healthcare to explore the medical cannabis market in NJ but quickly pivoted to recreational cultivation and manufacturing in South Jersey, where they sensed a great opportunity. After securing a property and township approvals, Rob and John began building their team of experts to build out their facility, which features; metal panel grow rooms, custom HVAC/dehumidification solutions, 4"-12" insulation, 4,000 AMP's of electric service, LED lighting, and wastewater runoff systems to name a few. Dealing with new hurdles on a daily basis such as challenges in securing basic business contracts, a buildout costing approximately $350 per square foot, and reporting duties to seven different agencies, the pair pressed on and is now closer than ever to being operational. Anticipating a 3-5 year timeline of exponential growth in the NJ cannabis market, John and Rob are excited to share their story. They have even started a South Jersey cannabis networking group for other operators to build invaluable relationships.
