Rubicon Organics has completed the first harvest from its new facility in Hope, British Columbia.
"The first harvest at Cascadia is a significant operational milestone for Rubicon Organics and demonstrates our consistent operational execution," said Margaret Brodie, Chief Executive Officer. "With the facility now fully planted, we've expanded Rubicon's premium capacity by 40%, positioning us to meet strong demand for our premium cannabis in Canada and international medical markets."
Since acquiring the facility in June 2025, the Company has prepared the site for commercial production through targeted capital investments, securing required licenses, commissioning the facility, and onboarding more than 30 operations team members. Capital expenditures at Cascadia included modifications to the facility layout and installation of new grow tables, both of which are expected to improve efficiency and increase annual production capacity. With Cascadia now fully planted, management anticipates the potential to further increase estimated annual production capacity over time as crop performance data is collected and selections from the Company's world‑class genetics library are optimized. Initial harvests from Cascadia are expected to be monetized in Q2, with production quality projected to reach flagship‑brand standards by mid‑2026.
The Company will hold a grand opening event on-site at Cascadia today, February 19th to mark the milestone first harvest, bringing together employees and partners from government and industry who supported the project from acquisition through commissioning.
The Cascadia facility spans 47,500 square feet of purpose-built indoor capacity, and is equipped with advanced cultivation technology, supporting Rubicon's strategy to expand its premium product offerings and increase supply to meet rising demand. The Company currently estimates annual production capacity of the Hope Facility to be up to 4,500 kgs.
