Cypress Brake Cannabis Co.

Cultivation facility coming soon to Bolivar County By Jack Criss, The Bolivar Bullet Cypress Brake Cannabis Company and Delta One Brands are proud to announce the launch of its premium cannabis brand and cultivation facility in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. The company is on a mission to bring artisanal, award-winning cannabis products to the burgeoning medical cannabis industry of Mississippi. The facility will be located just outside the northern city limits of Cleveland on Hwy. 61, towards Merigold, on a track of land owned by H.L. and Judy Dilworth. A groundbreaking date will be announced shortly with a projected opening date slated for sometime in 2025. “It was the Dilworth’s passion that led to this moment and their vision to create access to a natural medicinal alternatives in the area as well as provide needed jobs and local food production,” said Marcus Holcomb, Chief Production Officer and award-winning Master Cultivator for Cypress Brake. “We’re a team of visionaries, dreamers, and doers, passionately committed to shaping the future of regenerative agriculture across food and all-natural medicine,” said Matt Beaman, Chief Marketing Officer of Cypress Brake. “Thanks to our partnership with Angela TenBroeck of Delta Grows, we are excited to build a first-of-its-kind cannabis company that not only produces exceptional cannabis but also fresh pesticide-free produce for the local community.”  Cypress Brake is pioneering a revolutionary approach called Cann-Aquatic Regenerative Agriculture (CARA). This closed-loop system combines cannabis cultivation with aquaponics to produce nutrient-dense food with near-zero environmental impact.  Fresh lettuce, celery, greens, herbs, tomatoes, and other produce will be grown adjacent to premium cannabis flower, helping to address food insecurity while conserving water and energy. Free classes will also be taught at the facility on growing produce for local residents. CARA’s novel energy-saving system harnesses excess heat generated from the cultivation process to create a controlled environment for greenhouse agriculture that enables food production every month of the year. That means 12 months a year of fresh produce for those facing food insecurity in the Mississippi Delta. “It’s truly a dream come true to be able to produce all-natural medicine and freshly-grown produce in the heart of the Delta, a place with such a rich agricultural history and warm welcoming southern charm,” said Holcomb.  “Our passion has always been to cultivate the finest cannabis cultivars and work with the cannabis plant to unlock its boundless healing potential. Adding in the food and energy elements excites our team and everyone we talk to about the project,” said Holcomb. With decades of combined cannabis industry experience, the Cypress Brake team brings a wealth of expertise in cultivation, extraction, marketing, and retail. Their state-of-the-art facility leverages cutting-edge technology like AI-enabled climate management and custom LED arrays to produce premium cannabis flower and chemical-free solventless extracts. Cypress Brake is licensed for medical cannabis cultivation by the Mississippi State Department of Health. The company’s brand identity also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of the Delta region with packaging inspired by the beautiful natural
