About

What we do:

We breed with world class genetics, phenohunt, research, and rigorously select new cultivars with the mission to collect, propagate, and create unique varieties. 

Why we do it:

We breed and grow cannabis because we believe it is essential for our local community to have access to quality products, and the genetics to produce their own. We believe high quality and sustainably grown cannabis can positively impact our communities health and wellbeing, and promote closer relationships to our local ecosystems. 

Who we are:

Vermont Greenery was founded in 2018 by Fred Morin, at the time, a UVM student studying sustainable horticulture and conducting CBD hemp research at the UVM Extension run, Borderview Research Farm. Here, he learned to carefully observe crops with the lens of an agronomist and began to collect and research cannabis genetics with this same lens. After graduating with a degree in sustainable landscape horticulture, he continued to collect unique genetics and cultivate them while beginning his first breeding projects. After breeding and propagating for 4 years, the Vermont Greenery living library is constantly growing and currently has over 50 unique cultivars. Fred's role continues to be propagation, cultivation, and breeding with a focus on proper land stewardship. 

Ian Wheeler is in charge of Vermont Greenery processing. Ian started his solvent-less processing journey in 2018, working with Fred on a CBD operation. Joining the team in 2019, Ian's role is to develop solvent-less hash products, also doing research and development on those products. 

The newest member of the team, joining in early 2022, Noah Olson is a UVM student with a passion for cannabis research and agronomy in general. After graduating from University of Minnesota, with a degree in plant and soil science, he worked in native plant nurseries, Smithsonian plant research, and finally landed in Vermont for his PHD at University of Vermont. Noah's role is to conduct research, utilizing the web of academia to provide Vermont Greenery insights into cannabis and its production.
