New cannabis law presents opportunities, challenges for Farms

Thanks to a significant change in the law, the Eden Prairie-based Peterson Farms can now add THC-infused food and beverages to Verist, its full line of farm-crafted CBD remedies.      

This new law took effect on Aug. 1 and allows the sale and consumption of certain THC-edible products to those age 21 and older. The product must contain no more than five milligrams of THC in a single serving and no more than 50 milligrams of THC per package.

The Petersons maintain their vertical or “farm to table” business model with Verist. They grow the hemp, harvest it, turn it into finished consumer products and sell those products to retailers and consumers.
