Quick Read

Roots & Resin Farms in Lindstrom is one of Minnesota’s first licensed recreational cannabis cultivators, focusing on producing solventless rosin extracts instead of traditional flower. Co-founders Preston Torres and Max Young are growing 1,100 plants outdoors, highlighting sustainability and craft production as they prepare for harvest this fall. As social-equity license holders, they hope to eventually expand from seed to sale, but their products reaching dispensaries depends on how quickly the state sets up the rest of the cannabis supply chain.
