Leamington's medical marijuana producer Aphria is expanding once again.
Aphria's third phase expansion was approved by the federal government on March 13th and it's now operating at full capacity.
The first harvest from the expansion is expected during the last week of April and is scheduled to produce as much 400-kilograms of cannabis per week.
The expansion added 200,000 square feet of production space at the Leamington facility.
Once in full rotation, Aphria will house production from over 80,000 plants resulting in a total annual yield of 30,000 kilograms.
"We're incredibly excited and proud of our whole team that has ramped up operations in our state-of-the-art greenhouse expansion with incredible speed and care," said CEO Vic Neufeld. "As we prepare to make our first harvest, work continues to rapidly advance on our 700,000-square-foot part four expansion, which we anticipate will have its first sale early next year.
