New Age Farm Signs Definitive J/V Agreement to Secure Three Additional Tenant Growers and Option on 11 Acres in Moses Lake, Washington State
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – New Age Farm Inc. (CSE:NF) (OTC:NWGFF) (FSE:ONF) (www.newagefarminc.com) (“New Age Farm” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that, further to the New Release of April 12, 2017, the signing of a Definitive J/V Agreement between its Washington State subsidiary, New Age Farm Washington, LLC (“NAF Washington”) and David Baker (“Baker”) to secure three additional tenant growers, along with a lease to own option on eleven acres of industrial land in Moses Lake, WA (the “J/V”).
Under the terms of the J/V, NAF Washington and Baker have formed a 50/50 joint partnership corporation in Washington State, CannaUsa LLC (“CannaUsa”), that will hold the lease on the eleven acres of industrial land in Moses Lake, WA (“Moses Lake”). This will increase the Company’s Washington State property holdings to three separate agri-campuses in Sumas, Oroville and Moses Lake. In addition, Baker will bring three Tier 3 Production/Processing licensees to CannaUsa, and these licensees will become the Company’s newest tenant-growers.
CannaUsa will build out and operate greenhouse facilities on the Moses Lake Property that will accommodate New Age Farm’s tenant-growers for year round indoor operations. The Company’s current strategy calls for complete site preparation including site grading, security cameras and fencing, power and all other additional required utilities. Updates will be provided on an ongoing basis.
On completion of the Moses Lake agri-campus, New Age will have in excess of 250,000 square feet of canopy growing space available to its tenant-growers at its three Washington state locations. The Moses Lake agri-campus will be structured to allow for a total growing capacity of approximately 170,000 square feet of canopy space – this means up to five Tier 3 tenant-growers and one additional Tier 2 tenant-grower can be housed at the facility.
Carman Parente, president and CEO of New Age Farm, commented, “When at full operating capacity, these additional Tier 3 tenant-growers at Moses Lake will have the capacity to generate between US$6 and $8 million in gross revenues per month from their operations . With our turnkey tenant-grower model, where our clients pay base rent and fees for our specialized services such as the expertise of our master growers, our storage, processing and production capabilities, New Age Farm is positioned to begin generating significant income over the next year.”
The JV remains subject to regulatory approval. The Company may pay a finder’s fee in accordance with CSE policies.
About New Age Farm
British Columbia
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NHS Industries Ltd. (“NHS”), New Age Farm owns a five and a half acre facility in the lower mainland of BC that includes a 48,000 square foot greenhouse. NHS is in the process of formulating innovative proposals for small scale agricultural facilities for exploring multiple avenues for cash flow processes. Anticipating Canadian federal government regulations regarding the legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes is one avenue that NHS will be exploring. NHS also intends to look at other high value crop possibilities such as hemp and its potential revenue generation. Management’s intent is for NHS to achieve positive cash flow as expediently as possible, all the while developing and maintaining multiple product income streams that will foster profitability, rather than relying on a single market sector.
Washington State
Through its Washington State subsidiary, New Age Farm has two properties, one located in Sumas, WA, and the other in Oroville, WA, where it offers fully built out turnkey service operations to licensed I-502 tenant-growers who will lease the facilities for production and / or processing. With three leases already in place, operations in Washington State have begun and will expand further as the Company completes its build outs. In compliance with state regulatory requirements, New Age Farm’s facilities feature 24 hour security that enhances the safety and security of the community, our tenant-growers and their operations. All New Age Farm’s tenant-growers hold either Tier 2 or Tier 3 licenses allowing them to produce and / or process marijuana for sale at wholesale to marijuana processor licensees and to other marijuana producer licensees. A Tier 3 license allows for between ten thousand square feet and thirty thousand square feet of dedicated plant canopy while Tier 2 licensees can have up to ten thousand square feet of dedicated plant canopy. Revenue is generated on a base lease rate and the level of service that the tenant-grower requires for its production and / or its processing needs.
