GRANDIFLORA STRAIN

Grandiflora Strain Genetics, founded by Oakland equity applicant Mark McCafferty, has taken the cannabis community by storm since its inception in 2008. McCafferty, known for breeding unique and distinctly different strains, developed a strategic approach to dropping products on the market through Instagram, sparking a conversation with Berner, founder, and CEO of Cookies. “I got a message from Berner on Instagram complimenting my product and in 2018 he came by my facility to check out the operations,” says McCafferty. “It has to be one of the most exciting days in my life by far. We met up and shortly after we started the talks of a partnership. It took a few days for me to realize it was really happening. I have always listened to Berner’s music, so I was beyond thrilled to move forward. Grandiflora is an Oakland band that started all from the Bay Area around culture around cannabis. This partnership with Cookies is going to be epic as both companies have common goals of providing top-shelf, quality cannabis that still has the culture behind it.”
