More Information
The grandson of famous World War II leader George Patton, Bob Patton has navigated the chaotic battlefield that is the legal marijuana industry like a five-star general. As other firms have fallen thanks to shrinking cannabis prices, lack of business experience, and burdensome state regulations, Green Meadows has kept on advancing toward its objective of being one of the most prominent locally-owned Mass. cannabis companies.
Green Meadows operates a large facility in Southbridge, which is home to a dispensary, cultivation, and production facility, as well as its corporate headquarters. The firm operates an additional dispensary in Fitchburg, with a third dispensary in Marlborough set to open this year. Combined, this portfolio allows the firm to grow and produce its own award-winning products. It’s a strategic region to focus on, considering Worcester and Middlesex counties have accounted for a combined total of over $2 billion of the $7.7 billion in recreational sales since 2018, ranking first and second respectively in county-wide sales totals.
Green Meadows has led the charge in supporting veterans initiatives, including implementing a veteran’s discount program and working with local organizations like Southbridge Veterans Council and Friends of Fitchburg Veterans.
