Emerald Plants Health Source (EPHS) is ready to proceed with its submissions for development and building permits to the City of Merritt in B.C. after officially closing on an approximately 23-hectare site zoned for both cannabis and technology infrastructure.

 

  • Origin House to acquire Cub City, craft cannabis production facility and operational team, to expand brand accelerator program
  • Province Brands of Canada and Lost Craft Beer announce agreement to launch cannabis-brewed craft beer
  • Namaste subsidiary Cannmart partners with Cannabis Compliance Inc. on new Craft Cannabis Program

 

The zoning “will allow EPHS to pursue their vision of building a state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation facility and campus,” reports Montreal-based EPHS, a wellness-focused company and licensed producer that has a licensed cultivation facility in Montreal.

The idea is to “produce indoor, connoisseur-quality craft cannabis at scale, with plans to phase in 1.2 million sq. ft. over the next five years,” the press release states. Using “proven technology that can handle power and infrastructure automation, the future plans of the Merritt site will serve to lower the company’s COGs (cost of goods) significantly” to an approximately $0.50, it adds.

 

 

“There are very few sites that have access to a wide range of low-cost power assets, on site services and that are located in a town primed for new industry,” suggests EPHS president Stevan Perry. “We now have an East and West coast presence to serve the demanding Canadian and international cannabis markets. Our team is excited to continue down the path of becoming the lowest cost producer of craft cannabis at scale in Canada,” Perry notes.

“EPHS is committed to fostering B2B relationships along with purchasing, licensing, and/or developing authentic brands to support its craft quality cultivation outputs,” the company statement adds.
