Tucked amid the snow-capped peaks hovering ominously over the heather green and red parched landscape, just shy of four hours northeast of the Phoenix metro area, resides the largest cannabis greenhouse in the U.S.
Weighing in at a behemoth 40-acres under glass, the team at Copperstate Farms (Snowflake, AZ) is perpetually harvesting proof that high-quality, premium cannabis can and is being produced at scale, under glass, in a commercial greenhouse.
“We believe with the right infrastructure, the right processes, and the right beneficial ingredients paired with a strong Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM), we can create greenhouse grows equal to fully controlled environment indoor production,” Pankaj Talwar, the group’s relatively new CEO says. “Long term, we believe growing in this fashion is more sustainable, and that the sun is the best light source to allow the plant to express its fullest potential.”
