Leon Dykas, better known as Lee, embodies the spirit of hard work and dedication. Alongside his wife, Sunnie, and their children, Lee manages a sprawling 141-acre farm in Leicester, MA, with a rich family history and a commitment to sustainable living. A full-time plumbing and heating contractor with a background in the Marine Corps and police service, Lee's diverse experiences have shaped his understanding of the value of hard work and community. The farm, established in the 18th century, stands as a testament to the family's enduring legacy and their vision for integrating cannabis cultivation into sustainable farming practices.
Neal Gaffney, a Massachusetts native, is our cultivation maestro. With an extensive background in growing, breeding, extracting, and studying cannabis, Neal has been a cornerstone in three cannabis startups, contributing vast knowledge in Metrcs, preventative maintenance, extraction techniques, and pest mitigation, among others. His connections within the Massachusetts cannabis scene, including state senators and the Cannabis Control Commission, alongside his successful indoor and outdoor cultivation endeavors, mark Neal as a true veteran in the field.
Attorney Jack Collins brings unparalleled legal expertise to our team. A seasoned attorney with a rich history in municipal law, labor relations, and police policy, Jack's contributions to the Massachusetts legal landscape are immense. With over 40 years of experience serving as counsel for police associations, negotiating collective bargaining agreements, and lecturing on municipal human resources and administrative issues, Jack's knowledge and skills are invaluable assets to navigating the complexities of the cannabis industry.
Together, Lee, Neal, and Jack represent the heart and soul of our mission: to merge traditional farming values with innovative cannabis cultivation and legal practices. Their diverse backgrounds and shared commitment to excellence and community service are what set us apart.
