VDR Partners with Niksen Cannabis on Elk Grove Development

VDR is proud to be working on a major development operation in the Elk Grove area, teaming up with Niksen Cannabis to create a project that will open up major opportunities for the new, emerging company.

Jake Stegenga, a leader with Niksen Cannabis who is helping lead the business efforts, says the project is going to be a 30,000 square foot facility that will help their customers and clients have the best experience possible.

“This is incredible,” Stegenga said. “We’re super excited. We’re a family-owned business out of Colorado, and we’ve been in the industry now for five or six years commercially. We’ve put together a team of people who are truly cannabis enthusiasts, specifically when it comes to the cultivation and raw flower side of things. 

“We kept this really small — 30,000 square feet — for a reason. We want to be able to touch every plant daily. We’re not big on complete automation. It just leads to the standard, same product over and over again. We aren’t going to use any machine processing. Everything is going to be processed, packaged and trimmed by hand.”

The small, family feel that Niksen Cannabis aims for is the exact reason why Stegenga says he’s excited to work with VDR.

VDR is overseeing, managing and building out the Elk Grove project, developing each inch to the specifications and desires of Niksen’s project.

That personal touch in the process, Stegenga says, has been a difference-maker.

“When you have a close, tight-knit family like VDR, there’s more responsiveness,” he said. “You get a better product. And you get people who really, really care about what they are doing on a daily basis.”
