Lowell Herb

What Lowell Herb does

Lowell Farms Inc., operating under brands including Lowell Herb Co., Lowell Smokes, and Lowell Farm Services, is a California-based, vertically integrated cannabis company founded in 2014 and publicly traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE:LOWL) and OTCQX (LOWLF). The company operates across the full cannabis supply chain in California — cultivation, extraction, manufacturing, distribution, and sales/marketing — anchored by a Salinas distribution center that benefits from a 0% city distribution tax rate. Its core B2B platform, Lowell Farm Services, provides white-glove distribution (owned daily delivery fleet), white-label manufacturing and processing, dedicated account management, and a self-serve online marketplace to partner cannabis brands under its California Cultivator (CCL20-0002424), Distributor (C11-0001881-LIC, C11-0000816-LIC), and Manufacturer (CDPH-10002196) licenses.

Lowell Farms monetizes through three distinct revenue streams: (1) managed-services and professional-services fees from Lowell Farm Services B2B customers (distribution, manufacturing, processing); (2) wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales of Lowell Herb Co. branded pre-rolls, flower, and bubble hash through licensed dispensary networks in California, New York, and New Jersey (retail partners include Gotham, Hasherynj, Harborside, Brotherlybud, Hyperwolf, Kolas, Bay Street Greenery, Simply Pure, Rooted in Roxbury, Auntmarysnj, plus herb.delivery e-commerce); and (3) management services agreements covering two Southern California retail locations with an option to purchase, extending the model into direct retail operations. Co-branded product collaborations, notably the August 2024 TYSON 2.0 35's Pre-Rolls launch, broaden the consumer-brand surface. Pricing for B2B services is quote-based (non-publicly disclosed); consumer pricing is set at the dispensary level. The company employs 11–50 people and operates with a lean cost structure, relying on its owned infrastructure rather than technology platforms.
