The state’s first tribally owned cannabis company is looking to expand. The Northern Light Cannabis Company plans for the expansion to take place in the spring. It will include exterior renovations to be done in April, enhanced grow operations in May, product line expansions and a “cannabis complex.”
“We recognize that smoking is not the only way to enjoy our products, so we intend to offer additional ways to enjoy the medicinal benefits of cannabis,” said Brenda Bjork, Bay Mills tribal chairperson. “We will begin focusing operations beyond retail to include grow and production so we can offer a wide variety of cannabis products to consumers – including butter, baked goods, hard candies, cannabis infused drinks, bath balms, lotions, or creams.”
According to the store manager, various plans for the 100+ acres surrounding the business have been discussed to include the development of a disc golf course, amphitheater, outdoor barbecue, softball fields and a possible cannabis consumption lounge.
NLCC opened for business in November of 2020 and is currently owned and operated by the Bay Mills Indian Community and employs 25 people.
