B.C.-based cannabis company Village Farms has announced the first shipment and launch of two leading cannabis brands in the United Kingdom.
Focused on providing patients with world-class medical cannabis products, the company’s Pure Sunfarms and The Original Fraser Valley Weed Co. will be distributed by 4C LABS, a Canadian company that imports and distributes in the UK, including a large network of pharmacies.
The launch includes three of Village Farms’ most popular strains in Canada: Pink Kush, Jet Fuel Gelato and D. Burger.

Pink Kush – This special strain is enjoyed by consumers across Canada for its strong aromas, colourful flowers, and high THC potential. Beneath a thick coating of trichomes, the dense and round buds feature forest green leaves, often with a purple hue, mixed with dark amber pistils.
Pink Kush showcases gassy aromas of white pepper, orange, butterscotch, coffee, earth, and grapefruit, the result of a rich combination of terpenes that includes caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene, bisabolol and limonene.
Jet Fuel Gelato – Jet Fuel Gelato is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50 per cent indica/50 er cent sativa). This strain is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as chronic stress, depression, inflammation, chronic fatigue, ADD or ADHD and chronic pain. This bud has a sweet and fruity berry flavour with a slight peppery sour citrus exhale.
D. Burger – Greenhouse grown in B.C.’s Fraser Valley, Donny Burger is a deliciously savoury and pungent indica weed strain made by crossing GMO with Han-Solo Burger. The effects of this strain are more calming than energizing. At a potent 26 per cent THC, Donny Burger is best-suited for cannabis consumers with a higher THC tolerance.

Michael DeGiglio, Chief Executive Officer for Village Farms, says the announcement further encourages the value behind Canada’s leading cannabis products.

“Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, we are now exporting our preferred Canadian-grown cannabis products to four international medical markets, including Germany, Australia and Israel, which together with the UK, represent a population of more than 185 million.”
