The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) Building a Sustainable Business, From the Ground Up

TGOD is defining industry standard in organic sustainability practices, follows a regenerative farming method
Sustainability lends both ethical, business edge to companies, says TGOD leadership
The company is dedicated to organic practices, sustainable principles

The only certified-organic scaled producer in the industry, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) is committed to more than just cultivating premium organic cannabis. TGOD works to cultivate a way of life, ensuring that from seed, soil and beyond, every step of the company’s cultivating process is designed to make a difference. As part of that commitment, TGOD is defining the industry standard in organic sustainability practices.

The Green Organic Dutchman follows a regenerative farming method, carefully considering the entire product life cycle in order to reduce the company’s carbon footprint in every way possible. Because of this deliberate approach, the TGOD organic cultivation process is exceptionally clean with a focus on the natural growth of the plan, ultimately resulting in the best cannabis Mother Nature can produce.

“Sustainability means my future and the future of our communities,” TGOD facilities engineer Richard Aranha stated in a news release (http://nnw.fm/xrt3E). “Our culture is designed around sustainable practices because sustainability gives an ethical edge to your company, but it also provides a business edge.”

With the future in mind, TGOD is dedicated to organic practices and sustainable principles, including the following:

Recyclable packaging – The company packages its flower and oil products in recyclable glass; TGOD shipping containers use only recyclable paper;
LED lighting – TGOD relies on LED lighting as the most efficient and impactful manmade light source to fuel growth of its plants;
Hybrid facilities – The careful design of TGOD’s hybrid facilities allows for maximum absorption of natural sunlight. In addition, multiple filtration processes allow the company to recycle 90 percent of rainwater, which is then used to feed the plants;
Energy efficiency – The company uses water-heat transfer, which provides heat for its hybrid facilities in the most energy-efficient, cost-effective manner; and
Environmental advocacy. TGOD has partnered with several local groups, including Grand River Authority Conservation, to work on specific environmental priorities to ensure the land is protected and honored.

In addition to its commitment to sustainability, The Green Organic Dutchman prides itself on following a higher standard of organic growing, which includes creating a living soil rich in beneficial organisms with no synthetic chemicals used at any stage of cultivation. TGOD recognizes that growing certified organic cannabis is better for the community, the soil, the environment and – most importantly – the consumer.

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (LVVV) Takes Cues from Prohibition Era to Optimize Business Model

Doing business right, taking cues from the prohibition era to optimize its unique business model for the cannabis industry
Transferring the Paso Robles ranch property into a vertically integrated, high-end cannabis facility and wellness retreat
Over half of all Americans support the legalization of marijuana, which bodes well for the industry

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV), a forward-thinking company involved in the acquisition, licensing and management of fully compliant turnkey facilities for the production of cannabis-based products and services in California, recognizes the importance of – and is committed to – doing business right in an industry rife with legal complexities. As the country’s attitude toward cannabis warms, LiveWire looks to lessons learned during the prohibition era to ensure company growth and success.

A growing number – more than 60 percent – of Americans now support the legalization of marijuana, double what it was at the turn of the century (http://nnw.fm/8FyqM). That increasing support bodes well for companies such as LiveWire. Even so, the company is making its way carefully forward, following an entrepreneurial roadmap influenced by the nation’s journey through and especially the period after the end of prohibition (http://nnw.fm/V3Idf). That roadmap includes several points worth noting, including:

Making education of the public about cannabis a priority;
Embracing public opinion and support;
Creating a unique and legal business model;
Using nontraditional marketing strategies;
Targeting new audiences;
Establishing advantageous strategic alliances; and
The creation of the high-quality ‘Estrella Weedery’ brand.

Part of LiveWire’s strategy, which includes these elements as well as others the company has identified as important, consists of the purchase made earlier this year of an historic Paso Robles ranch property (http://nnw.fm/nYJ4w). Located in the heart of California wine country, the 265-acre property was once owned by George R. Hearst, the eldest grandson of the late William Randolph Hearst. In addition to eventually hosting LVVV’s essential cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facilities, plans for the property include transforming it into the world’s first Estate-grown Weedery. When complete, the ranch will be one of the largest, vertically integrated, high-end cannabis facilities and wellness retreats in California.

“This is by far the most significant milestone in our company’s development and possibly the most significant real-estate acquisition in the entire California cannabis industry,” said LiveWire CEO Bill Hodson. “We are developing it into the center piece of our business model with the goal to establish a shining example for the entire cannabis industry and Estrella Ranch-branded products soon to be recognized as one of the finest in California.”

This milestone project has been done right from inception, Hodson continued. “During the last twelve months, our management team, legal, environmental and architectural consulting firms have concluded the extensive due diligence process and confirmed the suitability of the property for the operation of our fully legal, ‘closed-loop’ cannabis production facility.”

That commitment to sound business practices will continue as the company considers partnerships, joint ventures and creates strategic alliances with the best legal operators in the cannabis industry. The Estrella Ranch Weedery operations will eventually include cultivation, extraction, lab and research facilities and luxury recreational opportunities. As a central hub for Livewire’s operation, the site provides unique ways to implement different operational and marketing strategies and ideas as well as the ability to target diverse audiences, both takeaways from the prohibition era and important means to set the company apart from the competition.

LiveWire Ergogenics specializes in identifying and monetizing current and future trends in the health and wellness industry. The company is focused on acquiring, managing and licensing specialized, closed-loop, turnkey, cannabis, real-estate locations of fully compliant and permitted turnkey facilities to produce cannabis-based products and services in California and the statewide distribution of these products.

Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) Moves to CBD Space Prominence, Products Already Available at 800+ Locations

The company is aiming to expand its presence domestically and internationally with its recent launch on the Canadian market
Wildflower Brands’ online CBD store recorded 300 percent growth year over year, with 39 percent of monthly sales coming from repeat customers
The lucrative U.S. CBD market is estimated to reach $22 billion by 2022

Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF), a public cannabis company developing brands that focus on plant-based wellness and health products, is quickly expanding its market presence and looks intent to dominate the CBD space by providing premium branded products through a distribution network comprising of more than 800 locations, as well as a successful online store, according to an October 2019 investor presentation (http://nnw.fm/FvB7B).

Operating out of Washington State, the company markets its CBD products to retailers in the health and wellness space under the slogan “Plants Heal.” Its distribution network in the U.S. includes 200+ retailers in Washington State and 20+ retailers in New York City. In partnership with Retail Worx, the company has established shop-in-shop retail locations in the center of New York City, which complement the introduction of their products at Bridges General’s stores in New York City and San Francisco. Apart from the full range of CBD products marketed under the Wildflower Wellness brand, Wildflower by Bridges General stores will have several exclusive product offerings.

Wildflower products are available in over 260 Dillard’s department stores (http://nnw.fm/7Y5xt), as well as at 100 Earthbound Trading locations nationwide, 20 premium health and wellness stores throughout Manhattan, and wellness guru Joel Warren’s Saks Fifth Avenue salon (http://nnw.fm/U4nDq). The company recently completed the strategic acquisition of Canadian-based City Cannabis Corp, which gives it access to four retail stores in Vancouver, British Columbia. Two of these stores were opened in August 2019 (http://nnw.fm/wL6UI).

Overseas, Wildflower has already completed its first commercial export to the U.K and has started selling its products at high-end retailer Selfridges. Additionally, the company has signed a distribution agreement to begin selling in Poland and is undergoing a packaging compliance processing in Italy. Wildflower also expects to send its first shipment of products to South Africa in early November 2019.

In terms of online sales, the company receives an average of 900 orders per month and achieved a 3.44 percent conversion rate in October 2019. Its online store boasts 39 percent of monthly sales from repeat customers and a growth rate of 300 percent year over year.

These developments, paired with the company’s commitment to delivering only high-quality wellness-focused CBD infused products to the discerning consumer, have had a positive impact on Wildflower’s sales figure. According to the October 2019 investor presentation, the company’s retail sales went up 156 percent year over year. In 2019, Wildflower issued shares worth $136.9 million, options of $10.9 million ($0.20-$1.55), and warrants of $15.2 million ($0.75-$2.25).

Wildflower remains focused on its strategy to expand into large retail chains and launch new products both in the U.S. and internationally. As part of the company’s domestic expansion plans, a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing facility to be completed in November is expected to significantly boost production.

These moves position Wildflower Brands for sustained growth and market prominence in the ever-growing cannabis and CBD space. Analysts anticipate the U.S. CBD market to reach $22 billion by 2022 (http://nnw.fm/wXG05), while the cannabis market as a whole to top $75 billion by 2030 (http://nnw.fm/ah4CK). The CBD market compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to more than double and reach 107 percent by 2023 (http://nnw.fm/9bZPW).
