"With a strong statewide presence, we have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of Floridians and take pride in offering a retail and product experience that reflects our commitment to serving both registered medical patients and now, adult hemp consumers. Our Florida flower brand, Reef, is a testament to this dedication, and its growing popularity has driven us to continually enhance quality to meet the expectations of our patients. As we expand our footprint, we remain dedicated to delivering products and services that our valued Florida communities can trust."
