Northern Leaf announced earlier this year that it was among a number of Jersey-based companies which had received a licence to grow and cultivate the crop in the Island. It has a 75,000sq-ft facility at Retreat Farm in St Mary built to do so, with a further 600,000sq-ft of land available for expansion.
