To say that John Reitmeier has made his mark on the world is an understatement. You may have heard of John playing his part at the Reitmeier Farm. You may have heard him on local radio going back to 1976. He built and was one of the original owners of what is now KYCK and was heard for many years on KRAD in East Grand Forks and KCNN & KNOX in Grand Forks. Now, he regularly appears on podcasts in both the U.S. and Europe that involve travel, Hemp Production, and food. Fast forward a few years, and today the Crookston Area Chamber caught up with John to catch a glimpse of his next new venture. It was very clear that John has a new passion, and it’s called Canna Corners.
The Chamber Ambassadors were quick to ask questions of the Canna Corners co-owner’s new products and John took it from there. He talked about the products that he and Hemp Research & Development Partner Casey Hammer, produce and sell, all while explaining how the industry and laws are changing so rapidly. He touched on the dependency of state legislators and challenges at the local level. Then he changed things up to explaining “dosing” and the anatomy of the human brain. John is in the beginning of a booming industry, and as the industry progresses, so will the products. Canna Corners opened its doors for business on August 2 and since has had over 250 unique customers.
It was evident that John knew the ins and outs of his next venture, but there was something that rose above all. When asked the how and why of CannaCorners, John lit up like a Christmas tree. John quickly took the Chamber Ambassadors on a much more personal level. The room’s mood quickly changed as he shared testimonials from strangers and people close to his heart. John explained how his store and products are more than a store of hemp products. It’s a store that is genuine, cautious, and thought-out products that you know are grown in Minnesota.
“That’s the magic of this product. Most people don’t buy it to get high. The product fixes the human. It fixes the process that tells your brain that you have an illness or are in pain. We are just trying to be the best in this retail that we can be.” You can go to other retailers across the river or state line, and things are not as legit. John confidently says that his product is safe, and you know exactly what you are getting.
John and his co-owner, Casey Hammer, really believe in the product and believe that there are properties yet to be discovered. The products are free from pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals. “Our customers are regular people who want to try something different to give them a better quality of life.” Visit CannaCorners at https://cannacorners.com/ or stop at 323 N Main Street in Crookston.
