Marimed commences cultivation operations in Illinois grow facility

MariMed commenced operations in its new cultivation facility in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The first harvest is expected in early 2025, at which time the company will sell its Nature’s Heritage flower and concentrates through its retail and wholesale channels throughout the state. In addition to cultivation, MariMed’s Mt. Vernon facility houses a processing kitchen, which began producing a wide range of cannabis-infused products last December. The Company also operates five Thrive dispensaries in Anna, Casey, Harrisburg, Metropolis, and Mt. Vernon. They offer a curated selection of products across its brand portfolio, including Betty’s Eddies fruit chews, Bubby’s Baked soft-baked goods, Vibations hydrating drink mixes, the full suite of its InHouse branded products, and coming soon, Nature’s Heritage flower and concentrates.
