Automation and passion are the secrets to the consistent cannabis products Auxly produces in Leamington, Ont. — on the same latitude as northern California.
Cannabis plants move through every step of cultivation on large tables, rolling in and out of the greenhouses to be trimmed and tended in the cooler surrounding hallways. Then finished whole buds go into Back Forty pre-rolls — the high-tech machinery can produce 2,000 slims per minute and package them up for sale at your local Authorized Cannabis Store.
