Buddy Boy Farm, the cannabis grower and processor located west of Spokane near Reardan recently expanded with a second Tier 3 license, giving the company an additional 30,000 square feet.
“We now have 12 greenhouses on this (first) license,” said General Manager Galadriel Walser. “Last year we bought a second Tier 3 license so we added an outdoor grow, and now we’re building more greenhouses. By the time we’re done, we will have 24.”
Buddy Boy has been on the scene since the early days of legalization and was the ninth producer/processor in Washington to receive a state license. “My father Steve Walser has been a farmer for 40 years now, but didn’t grow cannabis. Well, way back in his hippie days he did, but not officially,” said Walser. “When cannabis became legal he decided why not try it?”
So he dedicated a section of his 640-acre organic farm, known as Willow Wind Farms, to growing cannabis. “Our very first year we were just an outdoor grow because no one really knew what they were doing. We had tractors, we used our old potato planter to make rows in the dirt to plant these things. We had no idea what to expect.” After an unseasonably warm fall, they yielded “this huge crop.”
