Since it founded a medicinal grow in 2009, Colorado Harvest Company has had a commitment to clean cannabis, adding a recreational operation in 2014 and always improving on a well-oiled system. That system has earned Colorado Harvest Company a growing reputation for quality.
As more and more states have legalized marijuana, Colorado Harvest has been hosting many out-of-state visitors who want to observe grow operations. “The world is watching Colorado, and that’s why it’s so important that we do a good job here,” says Colorado Harvest CEO Tim Cullen. “We have people visiting at least every other week or so.”
Cullen has a background in biology and tells his visitors that it’s crucial for new grows to set up a chain of command. “It was a learning curve,” he remembers. “When you’re thinking about hiring people, you automatically think you want to get the most qualified people in here, and we tried that for a long time, but we were constantly frustrated.”
He found that it was better to hire people who love the plant. “It helps if they have a background in biology or agriculture, but we’re here to teach, and if someone loves the plant, they’re more likely to take care of it,” he says.
