Trade To Black Takes You To Village Farms Delta Facility
In this episode, the Trade To Black podcast premieres a behind-the-scenes documentary film featuring Village Farms (NASDAQ: VFF). Join Shadd and Anthony as they travel west to Vancouver, Canada, to see Village Farm’s impressive semi-enclosed 2.2 million square foot facility in Delta, British Columbia, known as Pure Sunfarms.
The region in British Columbia is well known as one of the best natural environments for growing cannabis in the world. Just like Napa Valley has an outstanding microclimate that allows for the cultivation of wine and produce, so too does the Delta region of BC.
We’ll take you with us on site at Pure Sunfarms to explore what a viable cannabis facility that produces high quality looks like. Over 72,000 plants in the grow alone demonstrates that size and scale can actually work in the cannabis industry. And there is plenty of room to expand. Currently the facility is operating in 1.7 million square feet, but they have the potential of up to 2.2 million.
Cannabis has a plant cycle that is much shorter than traditional crops, meaning that Village Farms has to juggle five cycles a year. It can be very difficult to grow cannabis at large scale, and you’ll find out why Village Farms has succeeded where others have failed.
Join us on the tour of this amazing facility and learn more about the cannabis plant itself and the strain that might be not only the most popular in Canada, but around the world. From sprout to forced flower, you’ll see how they manage to maintain the top quality product that you’ve found at your local dispensary.
Village Farms is the number one grower of flower in Canada, and they are number two among cannabis companies for overall market share. We’ll help you gain a better understanding as to why this Delta facility helped Village Farm’s total sales grow by 21% in 2024, which propelled them to that number 2 national market share in the Canadian cannabis landscape.
