New Age Farm's Oroville Facility Prepares for Outdoor Operations

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 27, 2017 / New Age Farm Inc. (CNSX: NF) (OTC PINK: NWGFF) (FSE: ONF) (www.newagefarminc.com)("New Age Farm" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the improved weather will allow its Tier 3 tenant-grower to begin outdoor operations, planting a full 30,000 square foot canopy outdoors. The Tenant-grower is now in the final phase of their greenhouse growing and is currently preparing for their initial summer harvest as they simultaneously begin further plantings in the sunny Okanogan climate.

Carman Parente, president and CEO of New Age Farm, commented, "Being able to plant at full operating capacity will allow our tenant-grower to realize the full potential of their 30,000 sq ft growing capability thus being able to achieve maximum production. Our tenant-grower has indicated that they will try some additional strains and longer grow cycles to maximize product quality and quantity. With our turnkey tenant-grower model, where our clients pay base rent and fees for our specialized services such as the expertise of our master growers, our storage, processing and production capabilities, New Age Farm is positioned to begin generating significant income over the next year."

About New Age Farm
British Columbia

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NHS Industries Ltd. ("NHS"), New Age Farm owns a five and a half acre facility in the lower mainland of BC that includes a 48,000 square foot greenhouse. NHS is in the process of formulating innovative proposals for small scale agricultural facilities for exploring multiple avenues for cash flow processes. Anticipating Canadian federal government regulations regarding the legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes is one avenue that NHS will be exploring. NHS also intends to look at other high value crop possibilities such as hemp and its potential revenue generation. Management's intent is for NHS to achieve positive cash flow as expediently as possible, all the while developing and maintaining multiple product income streams that will foster profitability, rather than relying on a single market sector.

Washington State

Through its Washington State subsidiary, New Age Farm has two properties, one located in Sumas, WA, and the other in Oroville, WA, where it offers fully built out turnkey service operations to licensed I-502 tenant-growers who will lease the facilities for production and / or processing. With three leases already in place, operations in Washington State have begun and will expand further as the Company completes its build outs. In compliance with state regulatory requirements, New Age Farm's facilities feature 24 hour security that enhances the safety and security of the community, our tenant-growers and their operations. All New Age Farm's tenant-growers hold either Tier 2 or Tier 3 licenses allowing them to produce and / or process marijuana for sale at wholesale to marijuana processor licensees and to other marijuana producer licensees. A Tier 3 license allows for between ten thousand square feet and thirty thousand square feet of dedicated plant canopy while Tier 2 licensees can have up to ten thousand square feet of dedicated plant canopy. Revenue is generated on a base lease rate and the level of service that the tenant-grower requires for its production and / or its processing needs.
