Employees of an Arizona cannabis company interested in setting up shop in the area held a meet-and-greet at the South County Senior Center on Wednesday to answer questions about how a particular plant can relieve some of the pains and conditions that come with age.
Harvest Inc. is interested in opening a dispensary that would be located at 424 State Road, the former site of Sturbridge Yankee Pedlar, and operated by ToroVerde II, an entity of Harvest. The company also wants retail spots in Greenfield and Northampton. Harvest would operate in Massachusetts as Suns Mass, a subsidiary of Harvest.
As for cultivation, the plan is for Suns Mass to lease from GOGRIZ, LLC a 114,000-square-foot greenhouse and two houses at 198 Mill Village Road that it purchased from Pioneer Gardens owners Arjen Vriend and Jaap Molenaar earlier this year.

Pioneer Gardens sells perennial starter plants to wholesale nurseries.
Roughly 20 people attended Wednesday’s event to learn more about cannabis and the company’s intentions.
