"It is time to open this opportunity to more Georgia investors as we've been thoroughly preparing for the next phase of our operation," continues Quirk.

It carries the Harvest Connect brand of Graceleaf™ CBD products as well as other national brands. Through its partnership with T.I., the Company will white label certain product lines for the celebrity businessman currently under development and scheduled to launch in early 2021.
