Welcome to Sumain Roots, where cannabis meets community. Founded in 2023, Sumain Roots is a pioneering cannabis microbusiness rooted in inclusivity, quality, and innovation. Our passion for the plant goes hand in hand with our commitment to accessibility, particularly within the Deaf community.
At Sumain Roots, we want do more than just cultivate cannabis; we cultivate connections. With a focus on sustainable practices, we will offer a range of top-quality products—from solventless extracts to vibrant clones—while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. Our facility is designed with care, combining cutting-edge technology with a deep respect for the plant and the planet.
Our team, led by founders Shawn Vriezen, Michael Donnelly, Sonny Wasilowski, Zachary Otness, and Belen Vriezen, brings together decades of experience in the cannabis industry, business management, and community advocacy. As a Deaf-owned and operated business, we prioritize creating a workplace where communication is key, offering pathways for non-signing employees to learn sign language and fostering an environment where everyone is heard.
Sumain Roots is dedicated to leading by example in the cannabis industry, ensuring that our products and practices not only meet the highest standards but also contribute positively to our community and the world around us. Join us on this journey of growth, connection, and innovation.
