Affinor Growers Hires Local Nursery to Supply Commercial Strawberry Seedlings
Affinor Growers Inc. (“Affinor” or the “Company”) (CSE: AFI OTCQB: RSSFF), a sustainable vertical farming company has hired a Fraser Valley, BC nursery for commercial propagation of its first strawberry seedlings. Delivery of the Fragaria Ananassa “Delizzimo” strawberry seeds from the Netherlands (purchased under standard retail licensing) is scheduled for this Friday. Affinor expects seed propagation to begin immediately upon receipt of the seeds, followed by its first commercial strawberry harvest in late November.
There is now a timeline for Affinor’s 15,000 square foot leased greenhouse in Abbotsford BC to begin producing vine ripened, soil grown strawberries ready for store shelves. The company is using external propagation experts for expedited planting and industry leading QA processes. Affinor takes over when the seedlings are ready to be transplanted into pots for fruiting. This anticipated revenue milestone represents the launch of the “Affinor Growers” brand and vertical farming technology.
Affinor Advisory Board Member, Tom Baumann commented: “I’ve been a professor for 30 years at University of Fraser Valley and working in agriculture for 40 years. I’ve seen many vertical farms. This is the simplest, most productive, and sustainable design developed to date. I’m excited to be able to contribute my strawberry expertise toward making Affinor Growers a global leader in sustainable food production.”
CEO Nick Brusatore commented: “This should be the first of many strawberry facilities with Tom Baumann leading the production and SOP protocols. The Affinor management team, consultants and advisors have created an aggressive strawberry scaleup plan, along with a kale, lettuce and cannabis growth plan for turnkey mass production globally.”

Affinor Growers Files Patent for Modular Nitrogen Enriched Drying & Curing Vessels
Affinor Growers Inc. (“Affinor” or the “Company”) (CSE: AFI OTCQB: RSSFF) is pleased to announce that it has filed for patent protection for newly designed modular, nitrogen enriched, drying and curing vessels. The Company plans to utilize this mechanical and process design in all its cannabis craft grow operations. The company has plans to grow across Canada and globally.
Affinor will showcase the vessels in its first commercial, greenhouse facility in Abbotsford BC after a cannabis cultivation licence has been received from Health Canada. The planned cannabis production facility will feature a total of 40 growing towers expected to yield 3-4 kg per tower per harvest of dried cannabis every 3 months. The Company also plans to licence a complete turnkey greenhouse with automated vertical growing technology, drying vessels, soil remediation, and all QA protocols required for high quality medical and recreational cannabis production.
Cannabis producers have struggled with drying and curing cannabis at scale. Terpene evaporation, overly dry buds and microbial growth issues have been endemic problems. Affinor’s vessels enable large and small buds to be separated into small batches to deliver exactly what each needs in terms of dry/cure time and environmental conditions. Once terpenes have been locked in, then a nitrogen rich process begins and continues into packaging.
Nick Brusatore CEO: “With this system, buds drying at different rates and plants harvested on different days can be kept separate to avoid having evaporated moisture rehydrate drier batches. It has been known for a long time that the compartmentalization of small batch drying produces higher quality results. The programmed, fine-tuning of multiple dedicated drying vessels is critical for achieving terpene and moisture-content quality. This is a game changer for the cannabis craft grow industry.”

Affinor Growers Prepares for Vertical Farming in Aruba
Affinor Growers Inc. (“Affinor” or the “Company”) (CSE: AFI OTCQB: RSSFF) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding Letter of Intent to purchase 100% of the private equity in Vertical Designs Aruba (“VDA”). The Aruba corporation was established in 2018 to produce fruits, vegetables and, pending receipt of a medical cannabis production license from the Government of Aruba, the consideration is all shares at 52,000,000 common shares and contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones:
The terms of the purchase and performance milestones are as follows:
Milestone 1: Cannabis Production for Exportation Licence is issued from the Government of Aruba and up to 49% of the project is sold for a specified minimum price (Minimum Sale Price) subject to approval by the Affinor Board of Directors of AFI.CN.
Terms: Upon achievement of Milestone 1, The shareholders will receive 26,000,000 common shares in AFI.CN with the standard 4-month hold. An executive bonus of 10% of the amount above the Minimum Sale Price noted above plus CDN$500,000. A pre-determined amount of the Minimum Sale Price will be retained in VDA to build out the first facility in Aruba.
Milestone 2: Build out a minimum 200 (two) tower facility in Aruba. The first 5,000 – 6,000lbs (2,300 to 2,700 kilos) of cannabis produced in Aruba is successfully exported and completely sold out at a pre-determined or mutually agreed amount.
Terms: Upon completion of Milestone 2, the balance of 26,000,000 common shares in AFI.CN will be issued the former VDA shareholders with a standard 4-month hold.
Affinor’s plan in Aruba is to produce food and cannabis sustainably and cost-efficiently in one of the best growing climates worldwide. Over 100 acres on the proposed north island site is available and can accommodate 1,000 vertical towers per acre. Full development would create a new global medical cannabis industry leader and open international markets. The benefits to Aruba include local food production to reduce imports, high wage employment, education, technology transfer and taxation income.
Affinor’s patented farming technology and QA processes are sustainably delivered through alternative energy from Tesla, composting technology, and LED lighting. Affinor is utilizing The Tesla Powerwalls and Solar in its Abbotsford BC greenhouse. This is especially important as the company grows across Canada and works toward full ESG compliance globally.

Aruba is a warm, beautiful country filled with wonderful people. I am so proud to be part of the movement for global sustainability and national self-sufficiency serving nations like Aruba.”
Certain insiders of the Company are related parties to VDA and as such, the transaction is considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to insiders nor the consideration paid by such persons exceeded by 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Affinor Growers to Accommodate Private Placement With Cryptocurrency
Affinor Growers Inc. (“Affinor” or the “Company”) (CSE: AFI; OTCQB: RSSFF) is pleased to announce it will be supporting the cryptocurrency markets and accepting payments for licensing and building facilities globally at deposit date prices in BITCOIN, DOGECOIN, STABLECOIN and others that are determined to follow SEC and IIROC regulations. Affinor will also be the first CSE and OTC listed company to accept BITCOIN in its private placements with direct transfer into the domain wallet ‘affinor.crypto’. Affinor will convert the crypto currency into legal tender for completion of the private placement.
Affinor believes many currencies around the world in less fortunate economies have a huge disadvantage. They cannot attract or create sustainable growth like wealthier nations. Affinor Growers believes that cryptocurrency will enable easier technology transfer, and will help developing nations sustainably produce food and cannabis along with increased employment and education supported by clean agriculture technology. Affinor looks forward to joining the upper ranks of some of the large cap sector companies that have announced the acceptance of BITCOIN such as TESLA and AMAZON.
Nick Brusatore CEO: “I am absolutely thrilled Affinor Growers will be the first on the CSE to accept BITCOIN. We plan to move as fast as we can to take advantage of the glut of capital sitting in unused crypto profits, and blaze the trail in the Cleantech Vertical Farming space worldwide. Once again I would like to thank the shareholders of Affinor Growers for their continued support and patience while we work to launch fruit and vegetable production, and our cannabis micro cultivation license application this summer in Abbotsford BC.”
