Meet Gary
licensed medical grower since 2008
Gary Krempl began a mystical journey with Cannabis at age 21. Awakened on
multidimensional levels and he became devoted to the herb and its healing way.
After cultivating his first crop on a rooftop in New York City he moved to rural
Hawaii in 1993 and began learning cutting edge organic farming practices. That
journey has continued in the B.C. Kootenay region for over twenty years.
Gary has been a licensed medical grower since 2008 . He has grown for multiple
cancer patients including his wife. In 2019 he became the first client to work with
Nelson Community Futures on licensing and received his license for micro
cultivation in June 2020. Using what he learned at community futures, he was
able to apply and receive his industrial hemp license as well.
Gary holds a BFA in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and the
Business for Horticulture Certificate from the University of Guelph, Ontario. He
also grows food, selling at Nelson Farmers market, festivals, and local
restaurants. His focus remains to produce the highest medical grade cannabis
possible and recent research has focused on full spectrum varieties including
high cbd hemp.
