A new cannabis growth operation based in Saginaw County’s village of Chesaning aims to provide Michigan’s recreational market with high-quality supply - while also making a name for itself nationally with its own products.
Six Labs wants to become a “craft grower” known for its quality products, but produced at a large enough scale to have a multi-state footprint. Think a Bell’s Brewery for cannabis. The company operates a 45,000 square-foot cannabis production facility, which recently produced its first harvests. The lab currently offers its flower products at a dispensary in Hazel Park and one in Buchanan, located in the southwest region of the state, according to its website.
“Our intent is to create multiple lines of cannabis, but as the focal point of what we are, we want to be known as the largest craft grower in the entire country,” said Joe Ori, co-founder and director of communication. “We want to create the highest quality cannabis available... at a larger platform.”
The company was founded by six friends and business associates, Ori said. Ori and his partners saw an opportunity when Michigan legalized recreational cannabis and set out to solve problems they saw in the industry, touring facilities around the country to assess what worked and what didn’t.
