Medicinal cannabis company Puro is close to completing the planting of 80,000 seedlings at a rural Marlborough site. A rural Marlborough hemp farm has achieved an organic certified status but it hasn’t been without its challenges. BioGro, New Zealand’s largest certifier for organic produce, granted the organic status after working with Puro for the past two years. SCOTT HAMMOND/STUFF Puro, New Zealand’s largest medicinal cannabis grower, has been awarded organic certification at its Kēkerengū farm. Organic Aotearoa New Zealand chairman Chris Morrison, who had visited the Kēkerengū site, said Puro were “pioneers” in the medicinal cannabis industry.
