Posted by Brian Sparks|November 5, 2020

Griffin recently entered into a genetic distribution agreement with The Hemp Mine, a South Carolina-based hemp genetics provider.

“Griffin works with the strongest breeders in the ornamental world, and we are bringing the same approach to the hemp arena,” the Griffin team explained in a release. “This partnership strengthens both our genetic offer, and the technical know-how behind the genetics.”

“The Hemp Mine understands our expectations for breeding and genetics partners. Their genetics are market-focused and proven by trials, and they bring extensive crop knowledge,” says Tami Van Gaal, CEA Division Leader for Griffin. “We believe our partnership brings our customers industry-leading genetic inputs that are important to their success in this young, often dynamic, and sometimes challenging market. We also secure a strong supply chain because The Hemp Mine is partnered with rooting stations that fully understand the young plant market. The rooting stations are true professionals that our customers will know and recognize.”

The partnership allows Griffin to tap into new genetics and gives both companies an expanded geographical footprint.

“The Hemp Mine offers a data-driven, regionally validated and proven genetic portfolio,” says Travis Higginbotham, Owner and Sales and Business Development Manager at The Hemp Mine. “We are excited to partner with Griffin to share these genetics with our mutual customers. Our diverse offerings allow customers to choose hemp with characteristics that fit their program needs.”
