The holidays are a time to spread joy, cheer, and generosity—a season to come together and make a positive impact. This year at Pure Sunfarms, we worked with an incredible organization called Deltassist Family & Community Services to fill hampers with essential items and gifts, ensuring two Delta families can celebrate the season with ease and comfort. A big thank you to Pure Sunfarms' employees for going above and beyond. What a haul! Village Farms International Inc.

There are very few new industries that emerge in a person’s lifetime and even fewer where Canada is the leader, and Ana Yap, CPA knew she wanted to be part of shaping it. Ana is the Controller at Pure Sunfarms, and if there’s one thing that stands out about her, it’s her dedication to building financial processes that are adaptable. Her strong belief is that when you begin something new, it doesn’t have to be perfect. What is really needed is the ability to look at what you’ve done critically, learn from your mistakes, and evolve. This is what most appeals to her about working in cannabis; you get to think about new ways to do things and how to make them better, every single day. Thanks to Ana, Pure Sunfarms is set up with a financial framework that’s both strategic and resilient—essential for our continued success in an ever-changing industry.

“Without OG products like The Canna Czar, the industry would not be what it is today. As a large-scale, high-quality operator, we see it as our quality-driven obligation to honour our legacy roots and bring back products of true pioneers that made an impact pre-legalization,” says Orville Bovenschen, President of Pure Sunfarms.

This past month, we had the pleasure of hosting enua at our greenhouse in Delta, BC. Germany is one of our key international markets and we’re thrilled that our team’s hard work and commitment have led to Pure Sunfarms securing the #1 and #3 best-selling strains in the German market.* This achievement speaks volumes about the quality of our products and the strength of our partnership with enua who supports our mission to bring quality Canadian cannabis to international consumers.
