Weekend Unlimited Announces Orchard Heights Property Fall Harvest

Weekend Unlimited (CSE:YOLO) announces the harvest details related to the licensed tenant of Orchard Heights Growers, a Weekend Unlimited brand and property in Wenatchee, Washington.

“Orchard Heights’ licensed tenant, a pesticide free commercial cannabis Tier 3 producer / processor, conducted its first four days of harvest from October 30th to November 2nd, which produced over 1 ton of high quality, solar powered cannabis material, currently being dried,” noted Mr. Cody Corrubia, Weekend Unlimited Inc. President and CEO.

Harvest Highlights and Forward-Looking Production and Revenue Estimates:

• Over the four days 4,000 pounds of bulk raw cannabis material was harvested from 10,000 sqft. of canopy
• The material harvested is expected to produce over 50,000 grams of premium concentrate, 250,000 pre-rolls, or a combination of the two with premium concentrate infused pre-rolls*
• Utilizing 1,408 plants and 10,000 sqft. of canopy it is anticipated that this proof of concept harvest will generate approximately $500,000 USD in revenue**

Assumptions and risks in respect to the forward-looking statements above:

*4000 lbs dries to 700 lbs with a yield of 18%, which equals 57,078 grams of concentrate. 700 lbs at 453 grams per pound will yield 317,100 1 g pre-rolls.

**Revenue estimate based upon average market prices of $10 per gram for live resin concentrate and $2 per gram for pre-rolls.

Risk of mold or other contamination in the flower would result in only concentrate being produced. In such a case, the amount produced may be less than projected.

“As a proof of concept crop, the 4,000 lbs of wet material harvested will be used to produce concentrates and pre-rolls. A quantity of the best product will be frozen and reserved for the launch of a premium Live Resin brand this winter,” added Mr. Corrubia.

The Orchard Heights property is being positioned as a B2B solution for independent growers looking for choice genetics, farming guidance, and processing and distribution solutions.

To serve this market, Orchard Heights is developing infrastructure, including a nursery with tissue culture technology and robotic automation, enabling the current operation to produce in excess of 2 million plants per year, which corresponds to over 10 million sqft. of canopy. The development of the infrastructure noted is underway and will be completed within six months at a cost of approximately $1 million USD.

With the expected consolidation and continued growth of a $1.3 Billion USD (https://www.tre.wa.gov/portfolio-item/washington-state-marijuana-revenues-and-health/) market in Washington State, Orchard Heights will have a primary focus on the B2B clone and nursery business, looking to capitalize on its agricultural systems and efficiency to be the leader in commercial commodity cannabis production.
