Highland Grow is the first of Biome Grow’s facilities licensed for cannabis production and sales and its production facility is located in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

Highland Grow recently received sales authorization from Health Canada. The amendment to Highland Grow’s existing Health Canada license allows the Nova Scotia-based company to sell its products to consumers of both medical and recreational cannabis.

Biome’s subsidiaries in other provinces include The Back Home Medical Cannabis Corporation in Newfoundland and Labrador, Great Lakes Cannabis and Weed Virtual Retail in Ontario, and Red Sands Craft Cannabis in Prince Edward Island.

Biome Grow shares rose nearly 10% to hit C$0.68 in Thursday's morning trading session.
