The award recognizes professional cannabis growers whose dedication to their craft consistently produces top-quality crops for the marketplace. The nominees are growers that set the bar for others to match. Agnes was voted Master Grower of the Year, out of 10 nominees, from licenced producers across the country.

“I am honored to receive this award,” said Agnes Kwasniewska, HEXO’s Master Grower, who was in attendance to accept the award. “This is great recognition for the entire cultivation team and HEXO’s focus on consistent, high-quality products.”
