The former Town & Country Foods meat operation in Greene was listed on Instagram and sold within three days to a medical marijuana grower.
The Lewiston Sun Journal reported MECAP LLC bought the 8.2-acre property for $360,000 as an investment, then sold it again to Bangor-based Central Maine Flower Herbal Caregiving Services LLC, which describes itself online as specializing in growing hydroponic medicinal cannabis.
Ryan Aubin, a consultant who was answering the phone for Central Maine Flower, told the BDN the facility’s layout is ideal for growing medicinal cannabis, with a freezer building, floor drains and the ability to sterilize from the ceiling down.
Aubin told the Sun Journal that Central Maine Flower owner Benny Carrasco, a licensed medical marijuana caregiver, plans to expand his operation for the recreational marijuana market once those rules are established.
