DENVER, May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - GrowGeneration Corp.

“As the country’s largest legal cannabis market, California continues to be a critical market for GrowGeneration,” said Darren Lampert, GrowGen’s CEO. “The Emerald Triangle in particular represents tremendous market potential, with over 500 cultivation licenses in Trinity County alone.

Founded by Robert Masterson, Harvest Company has provided Northern California growers with specialty hydroponic supplies and professional horticultural consultation services since 2014. The Harvest Company’s team of 16 employees will join GrowGen’s team of over 600 grow professionals as part of the transaction, while Mr. Masterson will stay on in an advisory role.

Said Masterson, “The Harvest Company was founded by growers for growers, and that ethos is at the center of everything we do. We look forward to continuing to provide best-in-class supplies and services under the GrowGeneration name.”
