Why we’re .green.
We registered limeline.green because every other cannabis brand in America is on .com. The TLD isn’t decoration — it’s a public commitment. This page is what we mean by it, and what we don’t.
We’re a Minnesota-licensed, vertically integrated cannabis operator based in Isanti. Cultivation, manufacturing, wholesale, white-label, retail delivery — all under one license. That vertical is what makes the regenerative work below possible: when we control the harvest, the processing, and the delivery, we can close loops other operators can’t.
Minnesota produces an estimated 500 tons of cannabis biomass a year.
Roughly 300 licensed cultivators by year-end 2026. About 3,500 lbs of unused biomass per operator per year. The state has no closed-loop infrastructure for any of it. Yet.
Numbers above are illustrative — based on hypothetical OCM licensing pace and industry-standard waste ratios. We’ll publish actual measured tonnage as program reports come in.
Minnesota doesn’t have infrastructure for this yet. We built it.
Our regenerative soil program runs through our partner network in the Minnesota Cannabis Coalition. We collect biomass from licensed farms across the state, destroy it under OCM-compliant chain-of-custody, compost it at scale, and sell finished living soil back to growers. The mechanics are straightforward and fully OCM-compliant — but the process is proprietary, and we’ve put real work into making it efficient.

Living soil. IPM-only. Hand-trim. Slow-cure.
No synthetic pesticides. No synthetic nutrients. No growth regulators. Beneficial insects for pest management. The meticulous, craft-oriented work that produces flower with the terpene profile and the resilience Minnesota’s climate rewards.
Flower · pre-rolls · edibles · tinctures · topicalsEvery SKU in these categories meets our living-soil + IPM-only cultivation standard, all the way through to packaging. We hold the line and we don’t push subpar product that would end up recalled.
ConcentratesSolvent-based extraction methods don’t qualify as “all-natural” by any honest definition. We’re meticulous about the craft and we won’t sell you a concentrate that fails our COA standard — but we won’t call it “natural” either. That’s the tradeoff, named plainly.
We’re not USDA-organic. Cannabis can’t be federally certified organic — it’s still Schedule I. We hold ourselves to OCM clean-label standards under Chapter 342 and publish a real COA on every batch. We’ll take honest auditing over a federal sticker we legally can’t earn.
Operators who help build the standard share in what it produces.
The Minnesota Cannabis Coalition is the member network we co-founded for operators who want to push the standard, not race to the bottom. Two concrete benefits inside the regenerative program:
Reduced destruction ratesCoalition members pay less for biomass destruction than non-Coalition operators. The math is straightforward — operators contributing to the loop should pay less than ones cycling through us once.
First access to fresh soilWhen finished compost comes back online, Coalition members get the early call at preferred pricing.
We’re not building this to be a closed club. The membership tier exists because operators who help build the standard deserve to share in what it produces.
Growing green with green — to save green.
Indoor cannabis cultivation is energy-intensive. A typical Minnesota microbusiness running 5,000 sq ft of indoor canopy uses roughly one million kWh per year — about 200 kWh per square foot of canopy, dominated by LED lighting, HVAC, and dehumidification. At Minnesota’s current commercial rate of $0.13 per kWh and rising, that’s $130,000 a year in electricity for a single microgrow. Solar on the grow site is the largest single environmental and financial lever we have.
What a solar offset means at scale
Calculations assume 200 kWh per sq ft of canopy per year (industry average for modern LED indoor cultivation), $0.13 per kWh MN commercial rate (rising 3–5% annually), MN grid carbon intensity of ~0.85 lb CO₂ per kWh (declining as Minnesota moves toward 100% clean by 2040 per state law), and ~1,250 kWh per kW of installed PV per year (MN solar yield). Cost savings scale up with rising rates: at projected 2030 commercial rates near $0.165/kWh, the same offsets yield roughly $33k / $50k / $83k saved annually.
A statement from our Coalition green-energy partner is pending. This space holds a real, attributed quote on what indoor cannabis solar adoption looks like in Minnesota — sized, financed, and installed by a partner we’ve vetted through the Coalition. We’ll publish their words and credentials here when they’re ready, not before.
The honest gaps.
This is the section that distinguishes us from greenwashing. Where the work isn’t finished:
If you ever see a gap between what this page says and what we’re actually doing, tell us. We’ll either fix it or stop saying it.
Thirty dollars a year for the TLD. A lot more to live up to it.
We did both because someone has to set the standard for what cannabis sustainability looks like in Minnesota — and we’d rather it be us than a regulator a decade from now demanding everyone retrofit their operations.
