good day farm giant gummyGood Day Farm, a vertically integrated operator in Missouri and Arkansas, is now offering two new lines of cannabis-infused gummies for patients.
One of those gummies, however, is not like the rest.
“To commemorate the moment, we created a supersized THC gummy in the spirit of the Show Me State, which will remain on permanent display in our Columbia cultivation facility as a reminder to our employees to always strive for innovation daily,” Chief Marketing Officer Laurie Gregory said. “At Good Day Farm, we believe in good people, good cannabis and good days. This gummy brings to life our mission to exponentially improve our patients’ lives by combining both the art and science in all of our products.”
The supersized gummy was certainly a fine illustration of that art and science. Weighing in at 135 pounds and no fewer than 116,000 milligrams of THC, the sour apple gummy is a larger-than-life demonstration of the rising supply and demand in the U.S. edibles market.
Needless to say, this was no small task.
“Our biggest obstacle was finding a mold large enough to accommodate such an oversized gummy,” Gregory said. “The team ideated a number of different shapes with our mold manufacturer, like a barn or something farm-related, but in the end decided the focus should be on the gummy—not the shape or the mold, just the delicious cannabis-infused gummy we all know and love. Ultimately, we ended up using a huge stainless steel bowl that we already had in the facility as a mold. Our gummy sat in the mold for three days just so the pectin—derived from ripe apple and orange peels for an irresistible flavor and fresh-fruit texture—would set.”
The plan worked, and the resulting gummy is a thing to behold. It’s 2 feet in diameter, with a perfectly sculpted surface and an eye-catching green hue that will no doubt attract patients to the already buzzworthy new product lines on shelves.
Those gummies that are actually available to Missouri patients are a bit smaller: about one-ten-thousandth the size of the heavyweight. The original Good Day Farm line is a five-SKU roster of 10-milligram THC gummies (available in Sour Apple, Strawberry Lemonade, Watermelon Sugar, Wild Berry and Rise n’ Shine).
The company also launched a nano-emulsified gummy collection in early March, which features “precision-dosed cannabinoids and allows for a rapid onset of benefits in under 15 minutes,” Gregory said. “We are launching our Night Night gummy at the end of this month, which features a perfectly blended ratio of THC, CBD and CBN to enhance deep relaxation and promote restful sleep. The full range of fast-acting gummy SKUs includes Strawberry Kiwi and Sour Blue Raspberry, in addition to Night Night.”
Note, too, that Good Day Farm began distribution flower in Missouri as well. Gregory pointed out that the company boasts a library of more than 150 cultivars that will inevitably hit dispensary shelves.
As for the giant gummy? While it cannot leave the premises in Columbia, the team created a nonmedicated replica that can be transported across the state, including regional trade shows, to provide an up-close view for patients interested in a getting a glimpse of history.
