Opportunity details

This is an opportunity for an experienced greenhouse hemp grower to return two greenhouses (20' x 108' each) into production. Ventilation, gas-fired heaters and much of the drip irrigation infrastructure already in place, as well as the planting beds. An insulated steel building (25' x 50') on a concrete slab, with fans and hvac unit, sits beside the greenhouses and was used for processing.  Production was full on until about three years ago. Compensation for the greenhouse manager is negotiable, with an equity share possible.
