Coco Farms Facility’s Phase 1 is Now Open

-

Contra Costa Farms LLC (aka Coco Farms) retail storefront opened on December 24 at 8AM in Antioch, CA. Coco Farms is one of Antioch’s first recreation­al cannabis dispensari­es to open since Prop 64 passed in 2016.

The licensed Cannabis facility is owned and operated by the same management team as its sister company Rio Vista Farms, and the Gas Station. The brothers, Martin and Andrew Wesley, opened their first licensed Cannabis Business in 2018 in Rio Vista, CA. The facility there has become a pillar of the community, providing over 100 jobs to adults in the area. “We have been able to support the community in Rio Vista and we hope to continue that here in Antioch.” “There has not been a licensed cannabis business in the area before and we want to set the standard for businesses coming into Contra Costa County. We are committed to providing a safe & welcoming environmen­t for consumers and the neighborho­od.”

Located in the heart of Contra Costa County, Coco Farms is permitted to sell cannabis to anyone 21+ with a government-issued ID card. There is no medical recommenda­tion required to make purchases at Coco Farms but we serve individual­s 21+ who have a state issued medical recommenda­tion. Coco Farms will be open 7 days a week 8AM to 8PM.

They will have a full menu of cannabis products including indoor grown Cannabis Flower, Concentrat­es, Vape Cartridges, Edibles, Tinctures, and more. Because Rio Vista Farms & Coco Farms are owned by the same company, consumers will accrue loyalty points with purchases that can be redeemed at either location.

In addition to providing jobs, tax dollars, and quality cannabis products, Coco Farms has developed a social equity program for children of Antioch residents who have been incarcerat­ed. This philanthro­pic effort aims to provide resources and support these children need, and are not provided by existing city, county and state services. Contra Costa Farms was approved by the Antioch City Council in early September of 2019. They were approved for their California State Cannabis Retail License in November of 2019 (C12-0000279-LIC). The final project will include a large cultivatio­n complex containing about 130,000 square feet of canopy, distributi­on, manufactur­ing as well as a retail storefront with delivery. The project is expected to be complete by the end of 2021. Contra Costa Farms LLC is located at 3400 Wilbur Ave, Antioch, CA.
